We Say: The New Engine In The Ameo Makes It A Great City Slicker.
Let’s jump right into it. This here is the Volkswagen Ameo with the smaller engine. It now uses a 999cc that makes slightly more power but almost 15Nm less torque and is mated to a five-speed transmission. Everything else in the car remains the same. The same interiors, the same safety tech and the same chassis components as before. So, to know what this update brings to the table, you need to look closely at how this engine performs.
