Rumour: Volkswagen Ameo discontinued in India

The Volkswagen Ameo is no longer listed on the brand's official website, which suggest that the model may have been discontinued.

The Ameo compact sedan was available with a 1.2-litre petrol engine producing 74 BHP and 110 Nm, which was later replaced with a 1.0-litre, 3-cylinder petrol engine that produced 75 BHP @ 6,200 rpm and 95 Nm of torque @ 3,000-4,300 rpm. The car was also offered with a 1.5-litre diesel unit that made 109 BHP @ 4,000 rpm and 250 Nm @ 1,500-3,000 rpm.

While the Polo and Vento received BS6-compliant 1.0-litre naturally aspirated and turbocharged petrol engines, the Ameo did not receive this upgrade.
