For sure VW should be drinking when they plan out the AMEO launch. Launch it with one option with one transmission was as stupid as one can get. Why not launch with Diesel as well, which is the only USP get going for AMEO. Personally, I felt 3-cyl 1.2L MPI unit no-where fun compared to even Micra's petrol motor.

From the beginning, VW's trump was always TSI and TDI and in that case, why not introduce TDI first and then the petrol later. They were good at pricing and features, but not all of them will go after features alone. I can only wish them luck but not go near the product. Not after petrol.

Good review, Akash!

If you compare this NVH and engine noise of Ameo with that of Tata Tiago's 1.2 Petrol unit, what would be your response? which one is better engine?

I know there is no comparison - segment wise... however, just curious as being Tiago owner, where my Tia stands
To be honest, Tiago is still much better than AMEO's NVH. Though both are 3 cylinder engine but Tiago has an edge here in personal view as I have driven both and in petrol.

Amazing review. Excellent attention to detail. 5* for such a truly great review.

However i feel the same cannot be said about the product itself. What was VW thinking when they launched only the petrol version. VW target audiences are mostly enthusiast who are a demanding lot. Giving them 3 potty city stroller is only going to murder the product itself.

Now with confusion regarding diesel engines, all VW can now do is wait and watch. Diesel +DSG is the one to watch out for.

I heard it's going to be a Diwali launch. Here's giving all the best for the launch.

Regards,
Arun

Now,VW India has launched Ameo Diesel TDI finally after nearly 5 months of its launch.It powers 110HP and with 1498cc displacement makes the car fun to drive under Rs.10L budget.

Ameo TDI HL MT costs around Rs.9.8-9.9L whereas HL DSG TDI costs around Rs.11-11.2L.

BTW,Akash Bhai,please update the review of Ameo TDI.
