Pune :  Latin NCAP recently announced its latest crash test results. Amongst the six new announced results, the ‘Made in India’ Volkswagen Vento was one of the four cars, which achieved five stars in Adult Occupant Protection. The Vento’s top-class standard safety package with dual front airbags, seat belt pre-tensioners, ABS, ISOFIX and robust vehicle body structure delivered these top results and underlined its ambitions of providing highest occupant safety.

With its five stars ranking in Adult Occupant Protection and its three stars in Child Occupant Protection achieved from the recently conducted test by the independent consumer protection organisation Latin NCAP, the Volkswagen Vento is one of the safest cars in its segments – in Latin America as well as in India. In the frontal impact, the Latin NCAP commented that the driver and passenger heads were well protected by the airbags and the bodyshell showed stable performance with capability to withstanding further loading.

The Volkswagen Vento has been in the Indian market since 2010 and was specifically designed for India. Manufactured at the Volkswagen Pune Plant in Chakan, the Vento carries the Volkswagen DNA of German Engineering which is innovative technology, excellent driving dynamics as well as robust quality and highest safety. Safety is of paramount importance for Volkswagen and hence the Vento comes fitted with dual front airbags as standard even in India.

Biggest export market for the Volkswagen Vento is Mexico, where the ‘Made-in-India’ Vento is the highest sold Volkswagen at the moment.
