The company has also launched Cross Polo (GTDI) anf Polo GT TSI priced at Rs 7.90 lakh and Rs 7.99 lakh, respectively.

The high-performance Polo GT TSI and Polo GT TDI are also part of the new Polo range, as is the stylish new Cross Polo.

The new Polo GT TSI and GT TDI offer unmatched driving dynamics, power delivery and handling prowess, the company said.

In addition, the Polo GT TSI also remains the only hatchback in its segment that features an advanced, high-tech, 7-speed dual-clutch DSG transmission.

The all-new 1.5-litre four-cylinder turbo-diesel engine in the new Volkswagen Polo 1.5 TDI offers blend of power and performance, without compromising on fuel economy.

As fitted to the new Polo 1.5 TDI, this engine produces 90PS and 230Nm of torque.

In the new Polo GT TDI, with a higher state of tune, the engine’s power output goes up to 105PS, while the torque output goes up to 250Nm.

And at an ARAI-certified 20.14kpl for the Polo 1.5 TDI and 19.91kpl for the Polo GT TDI, the new 1.5-litre TDI engine’s fuel economy is as impressive as its power delivery.

The new Polo GT TSI, with its four-cylinder 1.2-litre TSI turbocharged petrol engine, packs a 105PS punch, which is backed up by 175Nm of torque.

The Polo GT TSI’s super-responsive 7-speed DSG transmission not only makes for a memorable driving experience, but also helps efficiency, which means the car delivers an ARAI-certified 17.21kpl.

"With the new Polo, we hope to do even better and reach out to an ever-increasing number of discerning car buyers across the country, who demand nothing less than the very best that German engineering has to offer,” Michael Mayer, Director, Volkswagen Passenger Cars, Volkswagen Group Sales India said.
