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!
