Thanks Asit, Is your friend sure about the 1.2 TSi engine? I was hoping that VW would launch Vento with 1.4 TSi.

Currently, for the Polo GT TSi there is a waiting period of at least 4 months(in Bangalore). I guess, because of the Vento TSi, this waiting period is going to be increased(because VW India needs to import more TSi engines and DSG gearboxes).

I hope VW does not follow the footsteps of Ford(which is having atleast 6 months of waiting period for the Ecosport).

Looking from other angle: It's possible that VW would get lot more booking for the Vento TSi, and because of the volume they might "set right" the problems they are currently facing, and may be deliver Polo TSi faster.

I asked my friend again he said that he had gone to the B.U.Bhandari VW godown where he saw the vento tsi parked. He wasn't able to sit in it, but an employee there confirmed of it being the tsi vento which is about to be launched. He wasnt sure if it was the 1.2/1.4.

Booked Vento tsi today. Launch in all probability is tomorrow. The interesting bit is there are no color limitations unlike the Polo GT - my booking is for Shadow Blue.

Delivery time - tentatively end of the month. However tentative is the major keyword here

Hey JishD! Congrats on the tsi vento, I guess the first one on the forum. So are the specs the same as the Polo Tsi? Any difference cosmetic or performance based?

[JishD]

No clue till now as the dealer did not have a Tsi in stock. As per the information I got, seems it will remain similar to the stock Highline with the Polo GT's 1.2 tsi and dsg. Will keep the forum posted on developments. Tentative ex showroom delhi quoted was 10L.

IMO this car will be named Vento TSI as its going to be launched with the 1.2lt engine, had it been the 1.4 tsi, the GT tag would have been more appropriate. Hoping for a 12 Lakh on road Bangalore.

Had a chat on this with the SA in Volkswagen Whitefield when I went to book the Polo TSI. As per him, the demo and initial lot of cars should reach today. He does not know the exact date. But since the car has apparently reached dealerships, I assume the launch can be any day now.

Waiting to see the price and do a test drive and see if it offers the experience close to the Polo. If both turn out good, will switch from the Polo TSI to the Vento.

Hi Rajeev,
Thanks for the information. how much waiting period did they quote for the Polo TSi?
I have also booked a Polo TSi with the VW Whitefield(expected waiting period promised by the dealer is 45 days to 3 months). There are some people in this forum, who have been waiting for more than 3 months. According to them(i.e http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/offici...w-81.html#1211), the dealer has not got any allocation(of Polo TSi) for last two months.

Got a call from my Dealer today asking whether I'd like to switch my booking from Polo GT TSi to Vento TSi. They informed me pricing is not yet announced.

The SA whom I interacted with initially said 2-3 months. 2nd time when I went for a test drive, he was not there and had informed another SA to help. He said 5 months. He mentioned that there are 20 people waiting and they get only 4-5 cars per month and last month they did not get anything.

When I went to book, I asked again to the original SA (seemed more senior) and he reiterated that he will get it in max 3 months and was very confident about it.

So not sure which one of them is right. But booked anyways. My take is that Polo TSI deliveries would have slowed last month and this month since they were preparing to launch the Vento TSI and I assume they would need to get a good number of cars to dealers at the time of launch. So that may have impacted Polo production. If that is the case, I think Polo deliveries will become normal from this month and the 3 months max may be realistic.

Hope for the best

Congratulations, and thanks for the update. Please do let us know in case of any updates regarding your Polo TSi booking.

Tweet from ACI
New #Volkswagen #Vento #TSI will come with a 1.2-litre turbo petrol motor and 7-speed DSG gearbox. Launching soon

It's 1.2TSi not 1.4

[dipen]

Why is the Manual not being launched. Its not like the current 1.6 petrol is selling well.

The target audience in the male segment is someone who is a minimum of 35 years of age - wonder what makes them think that , clearly very very off in my opinion.
