The new alloys employed on the Ameo and the Polo seems to be identical but the Rapid's alloy design is different. The current versions of these cars feature 15-inch alloys.

The new PORTAGO wheels will only be offered with the top-end variants of each model. The vehicles which are spotted were not camouflaged so the update could be only limited to alloys or we can expect some minor interior tweaking.

The VW Vento will get a top-of-the-line variant soon, which features full LED headlamps. The test mule of the top variant has been spotted testing several times but the manufacturer is yet to announce the official launch.
