Volkswagen Ameo specifications include a 1.2-litre MPI engine, which is mated to a 5-speed manual transmission. This is available in all the three variants - Trendline, Comfortline and Highline. The diesel powertrain is the 1.5-litre TDI engine that is also mated to a 5-speed manual transmission. Along with this, the third offering of new Volkswagen Ameo is a 1.5-litre TDI diesel engine mated to a 7-speed DSG transmission. This automatic transmission is featured only in the Comfortline and Highline variants. The engines are quite smooth and have the punch that you expect from a German carmaker. How these engines fare in the day-to-day life is something that we need to wait and watch out for.
