2020 Volkswagen Polo and Polo GT BS6 Mileage Figures Revealed

While the Polo’s 1.0-litre naturally aspirated engine has been upgraded to BS6, it also gets a new 1.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine

• Volkswagen launched the Polo and Vento BS6 in March 2020.

• Both are petrol-only offerings in the BS6 era.

• The 1.0-litre MPI unit makes 75PS/95Nm, while the 1.0-litre TSI turbo produces 110PS/175Nm in the Polo.

• The claimed mileage figures stand at 17.75kmpl and 18.24kmpl for the 1.0-litre MPI and 1.0-litre TSI engines respectively.

• Vento BS6 is offered only with the 1.0-litre TSI engine.

While some carmakers have upgraded both petrol and diesel engines to meet the BS6 emission norms, others have done away with the diesel versions of their offerings. Volkswagen is one such brand. It introduced the BS6-compliant version of the Polo in March and has now officially revealed the claimed mileage figures of both the petrol engines offered on the hatchback. The 1.0-litre MPI engine returns 17.75kmpl while the 1.0-litre TSI unit offers 18.24kmpl.
