Volkswagen has teased the facelifted Polo GTI ahead of its unveiling in June 2021. The sixth-generation Polo was recently updated in Europe. The GTI trim will get all the cosmetic upgrades like those on the standard model, along with a few exclusive additions.
These will likely be a sleeker front grille, the new VW logo, and connected LED DRLs and headlamps. Exclusive GTI elements include red highlights and ‘GTI’ badging on the grille, a sportier front bumper, aggressively styled honeycomb air dams, and honeycomb LED fog lamps. Its five-spoke alloy wheels complete the performance-oriented design.
Inside, the facelifted GTI will get a bigger 9.2-inch touchscreen infotainment system, touch-based AC controls, a new steering wheel, and ambient lighting. To set itself apart from the standard hatch, it could get the ‘GTI’ badging on the steering wheel and headrests, red stitching and accents, and different seat upholstery.
The facelifted Polo GTI could continue with the 2.0-litre turbo-petrol TSI engine (paired with a 6-speed DSG), generating 200PS and 320Nm. Reports suggest that the engine could get a higher state of tune to develop more power.
Volkswagen is mulling the launch of the recently facelifted sixth-generation Polo in India. It will undoubtedly be more expensive than the outgoing model, priced much like the Hyundai i20. After that, we also expect the carmaker to launch the Polo GTI as a CBU.
