Spy Pics: Volkswagen Ameo Sport Spotted Testing In India

The test mule reported by MotorBeam and the Ameo Sport is seen with body graphics, black roof, trunk lid mounted spoiler, black garnish on the boot lid and blackened alloy wheels. As for the interior, we expect VW to offer black leather seats complementing the sub-compact sedan's sporty exteriors.

Volkswagen is expected to offer the same engine options as the regular model: 1.2-litre petrol and 1.5-litre diesel engines. While the 1.2-litre petrol unit produces 74bhp and 110Nm of torque, the diesel engine develops 109bhp and 250Nm of torque.

Both the engines come married to a 5-speed manual gearbox as a standard fitment, while the diesel engine comes with the option of a 7-speed DSG automatic gearbox.

Prices for the Volkswagen Ameo Sport is expected to be marginally higher compared to the regular model, and the launch is expected in January 2018.

DriveSpark Thinks!

The Volkswagen Ameo Sport is an attempt by the carmaker to put some much-needed life into the sagging sales of the Ameo sub-compact sedan. However, the Ameo Sport looks promising and is to be seen if the sport model will help sell more units for the German carmaker.
