At a special event held in Mumbai to showcase the products from the makers supporting the Make in India campaign, the manufacturer Volkswagen India showcased its compact sedan VW Ameo. This display follows the global premiere of the vehicle a couple of weeks ago.
The VW Ameo will be launched in the country in mid 2016. The highlight of this vehicle is it is the first one in the sub 4m sedan segment to be launched specifically for the Indian customers from Volkswagen.
Elaborating about the vehicle in brief, the exterior design is claimed as a Volkswagen Polo with a stubby boot. It has many impressive front end features such as sleek dual slat grille, angular headlamps, and rectangular fog lamps in the central intake. Also, there are rear end features such as a sculpted boot and new tail lamps.
