Volkswagen Polo GTI teased ahead of Indian launch

Volkswagen has teased the Polo GTI performance hatchback, ahead of its official launch in India. Various reports have suggested that the GTI will be launching in India in mid-November. It will be brought into the country through the CBU route.

The Polo GTI was earlier showcased at this year's Auto Expo in February. It is powered by a 1.8-litre TSI engine that churns out 189 BHP and 235 Nm of torque. Mated to a 7-speed DSG unit, VW claims that the car can accelerate from 0-100 km/h in just 6.7 seconds, while its top speed is 235 km/h.

Volkswagen will also be adding exclusive features on the Polo GTI to justify its relatively higher price tag. It is expected to get full LED headlamps, 17-inch alloys, red brake calipers, and a GTI-spec rear spoiler.
