In terms of features, the GT Line Ameo gets the same equipment list as the top-spec Highline Plus. That includes cruise control, auto-dimming IRVM, auto AC, rear AC vents, rain-sensing wipers, rear parking camera and 7-inch infotainment system.

The Ameo GT Line’s 1.5-litre diesel engine makes 110PS and 250Nm. While it is only available with the DSG for now, Volkswagen could introduce a manual version at a later stage. Volkswagen has priced the GT Line variant the same as the regular Highline Plus variant. The new GT Line may rekindle some? interest in the diesel Ameo as it takes on the likes of the Maruti Suzuki Dzire, Hyundai Xcent, Honda Amaze and the Ford Aspire.
