Vento TSI DSG if you can afford or else Ameo TDI DSG if on tight budget. However pros on Vento TSI is - Less noise compared to diesel and a little more quicker in acceleration. Cons - Less torque (though you won't find much difference in reality unless overloaded) and Less Fuel efficiency (8-9 KMPL in moderate traffic conditions and also tend to drop down to 6 in Bumper to Bumper)
