The MY2019 updates are aimed at injecting some freshness into the fast ageing VW Vento. On the outside, the sedan will feature diamond-cut wheels in the Highline trim. Its colour palette will include a new metallic blue paint shade that should be similar to the Skoda Rapid Onyx Edition's Lapiz Blue. The interior will have a lighter colour tone and will feature a new touchscreen infotainment system that will have the VWConnect App.

The 2019 Volkswagen Vento will be available with chest-level airbags for the front occupants in addition to the standard dual front airbags. Moreover, the rear AC vents console will gain a 12V power socket. Other than this, the list of equipment will include electric folding and adjustable outside rear view mirrors, art leather seat upholstery, chrome interior accents, leather-wrapped steering wheel and gearshift knob and a rear parking camera.

Mechanically, the Vento will remain entirely unchanged. It will be available in three engine variants - 1.6-litre MPI N/A petrol engine (105 PS/153 Nm) mated to a 5-speed manual transmission, 1.2-litre TSI turbo-petrol engine (105 PS/175 Nm) paired with the 7-speed DSG transmission and 1.5-litre TDI turbo-diesel (110 PS/250 Nm) engine that works in conjunction with a 5-speed manual transmission or the 7-speed DSG transmission.
