Vento is not a new name for VW &#8211; the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/model\/jetta\">Mk III Jetta sedan<\/a> used that badge in the European market throughout the mid-90s.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/make\/volkswagen\/\">Volkswagen<\/a> has reportedly increased the wheelbase of the three-box Polo by two inches to provide rear seat passengers a bit more space. The lengthened roof should also aid head room out back, although eliminating the hatch will surely cut down on cargo volume and accessibility. <\/p>\n<p>The Indian Vento is powered by either a 1.6-liter inline-four or a 1.6-liter common rail turbodiesel. If and when this car makes it to America it will probably use the 105 horsepower turbocharged and direct injected 1.2 TSI four-pot available in Europe. <\/p>\n<p>Although Volkswagen still hasn&#8217;t officially committed to selling the Polo in the U.S., VW of America officials have said that they would probably wait until a four door sedan is available with a probable launch in 2011. The Vento is expected to launch in India this summer. <\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"postgallery\">\n<p><strong>Gallery: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/2010-volkswagen-polo\/\">2010 Volkswagen Polo<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/2010-volkswagen-polo\/#1396213\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2009\/03\/db2009au00239_medium_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/2010-volkswagen-polo\/#1396199\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2009\/03\/db2009au00240_medium_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/2010-volkswagen-polo\/#1396212\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2009\/03\/db2009au00241_medium_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/2010-volkswagen-polo\/#1396211\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2009\/03\/db2009au00242_medium_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/2010-volkswagen-polo\/#1396197\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2009\/03\/db2009au00243_medium_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>\n[Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autocarindia.com\/news\/scoop-polo-saloon-vw-vento\">Autocar India<\/a>]<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/04\/30\/report-volkswagen-polo-sedan-to-be-dubbed-vento-in-india-comin\/\">Report: Volkswagen Polo sedan to be dubbed Vento in India, coming in July<\/a> originally appeared on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\">Autoblog<\/a> on Fri, 30 Apr 2010 08:28:00 EST.
