Thanks to BHPian Mad Monkey for sharing this information with other enthusiasts!

Volkswagen dealerships are now offering the Polo GTI at a discounted price of Rs. 19.99 lakh ex-showroom. We have since confirmed this news with Volkswagen Downtown Mumbai dealer.

The GTI is powered by a 1.8-liter TSI putting out 189 BHP and 250 Nm of torque. Equipped with a 7-speed DSG gearbox, the Polo GTI is claimed to reach a top speed of 233 km/hr. Despite the great performance figures, Volkswagen seems to be struggling to sell the 99 units of the Polo GTI allotted for the Indian market. The company found very few takers for the car, especially due to its high price point. Hence, dealerships are now looking to clear stocks by offering huge discounts on the model.

The VW Polo GTI was launched in November 2016 at a price of Rs 25.99 lakh. The 3-door hot hatchback is the first GTI model to be launched in India. Apart from the lack of rear doors, the Polo GTI features a few cosmetic upgrades over the standard Polo.
