Volkswagen has launched its most powerful Polo hatchback model in India. The Polo GT 1.2 TSI is priced at INR 7.99 lakhs (ex-showroom, New Delhi) and comes with several new features, seen in a petrol car in India for the first time.

The all new VW Polo GT 1.2 TSI is the replacement for the Polo 1.6 performance variant that was discontinued last year owing to poor sales. The new Polo GT 1.2 TSI will fill in that gap by offering good performance, with a smaller, more efficient engine.
