Volkswagen Polo Pace launched at Rs. 5.99 lakh

Volkswagen has launched a limited-edition version of the Polo hatchback. The VW Polo Pace has been launched alongside the Vento Sport - a limited edition version of the mid-size sedan. The Polo Pace is offered in Comfortline trim and is priced at Rs. 5.99 lakh (ex-showroom).

Unlike the Vento, which gets a gloss black roof and spoiler, faux carbon ORVMs, 16-inch Portago alloy wheels and decals, the Polo Pace only gets 15-inch, diamond cut alloy wheels. Inside, you get a 3-spoke, flat-bottom steering wheel and a twin-pod instrument cluster. Besides, it gets an audio system with Bluetooth and i-Pod, USB and Aux-in connectivity options. Safety features like ABS and dual-front airbags are standard.

Mechanically, the Polo Pace is identical to the standard Polo. It comes only in a petrol variant and uses the new 1.0-litre, 3-cylinder, naturally-aspirated petrol engine which produces 75 BHP @ 6,200 rpm and 95 Nm of torque @ 3,000-4,000 rpm. The engine comes mated to a 5-speed manual transmission.
