Currently Volkswagen offers the Polo GT TSI(petrol) and TDI(diesel) models in the country. The Polo GTI will be its older sibling with more performance and oomph factor.

Here are the technical specifications of Polo GTI model:

  • Engine: 1.8-litre four cylinder, turbocharged petrol
  • Horsepower: 188
  • Torque: 320Nm
  • Gearbox: 7-speed DSG with AWD

German automobile manufacturer will be introducing Polo GTI via Completely Knocked Down route. It will look more or less similar to Polo GT that is on sale in India, with minor cosmetic changes.

In India Volkswagen Polo GTI will compete against Abarth Punto Evo. We wonder if more manufacturers could launch more performance packed hatchbacks for the country.
