Volkswagen Polo GT TSI launched

TSI in India for Rs 7.99 lakh (ex-showroom
Delhi). This new version of the Polo is
powered by a 1.2-litre turbocharged TSI
engine paired with seven-speed DSG dual-
clutch automatic gearbox.
The Polo GT TSI is technologically the most
advanced car in the segment with direct-
injection petrol unit; it develops 105PS and
175Nm – that is more than 103PS and
153Nm build by the 1.6-litre petrol engine
of the Vento. The ARAI fuel efficiency is
17.2kpl with high octane fuel, but the
efficiency will be slightly lower with the 91
Octane fuel available across India.
There are hardly any changes to the
exteriors of the new variant apart from new
GT grille, 15-inch Estrada alloy-wheels and
GT TSI badging to the side and rear. The
hot-hatch is based on the top-end variant
and has features like Climatronic air
conditioning, steering mounted audio
control, two-DIN music system with USB,
AUX-in, SD card slot and Bluetooth
connectivity. The safety features include
ESP, ABS, dual-airbags and Hill Hold
function.
