Volkswagen Polo GT Sport Introduced
The new Sport variant is available in both the GT TSI and TDI variants, and comes with sportier aesthetic additions!
To keep up with the increasing competition in the hot hatch segment, Volkswagen has now introduced the Polo GT Sport. It is a sports variant of the Polo GT TSI and features new go-fast aesthetic enhancements and bigger wheels. It stands out as compared to the standard hatchback and costs Rs 27-30,000 more than the stock GT TSI. Let's have a look at it.
What’s new?
- Comes with 16-inch ‘Burnished’ alloy wheels, which are a size larger than the stock Polo
- Features new a side decals with a ‘GT Sport’ label, while the existing ‘GT TSI’ badging on the C-pillar and the ‘GT’ moniker on the grille are also present
- Gets the all-black OVRMs from the GT variant, and additionally comes with contrasting glossy black roof
- Features a new larger black spoiler
- Comes with all-black leatherette upholstery with ‘GT Sport’ embossed. The GT, in contrast, offers dual-tone fabric upholstery
- Available in two colour options, Flash red and Candy White
Mechanically, it remains unaltered, which is not a bad thing. Its 1.2-litre turbocharged, four-cylinder petrol motor puts out 105PS of max power and 175Nm of peak torque and is mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, while the 1.5-litre diesel generates 110PS of max power and 250Nm of peak torque and is mated to a five-speed manual.
Ford also launched a sportier avatar of the Figo recently, the Figo S, which, in its diesel version, can give both the Baleno RS and the Polo GT Sport a run for their money!
