Polo, the most popular hatchback of Volkswagen in India, is a go-to hatchback for driving enthusiasts. The Polo has no haters and it doesn’t need an introduction among car people. Polo has had its high days in the country and it still hasn’t lost its respect but because of the increase in competition, features demand, and new emission norms the Polo sales were down and it finally got discontinued in 2022. The German company, Volkswagen, is not doing so great in India and is barely alive because of partnerships and newly launched SUVs and Sedans. Volkswagen does offer great cars but it’s the marketing team of the company which fails to fit the brand name in Indians’ minds. People in India do know about Volkswagen but the majority of them only talk about car manufacturing companies like Maruti Suzuki, Mahindra, Tata, Hyundai, and Kia. It’s high time for Volkswagen to do better at marketing otherwise the company sales will continue to run between small numbers.
Today, in this article, we will talk about the Volkswagen Polo modified. We will give you an overview of Polo accessories and lastly, we will talk about the Polo engine and price.
The Polo design is very modern and simple at the same time. Its design will never bore the eyes and the strongest points of Polo are its engine and structure. The Polo lacks some modern features and spacious rear seats which its competitors have but it offers great front seat comfort and performance which is unmatchable by the rivals. The majority of Polo owners like to modify it for a better ownership experience. Some of the common Polo-modified accessories are – Polo aftermarket headlights, new alloy wheels, new seat covers, a new touchscreen infotainment system with a new music system, and performance stickers. Some people even modify the engine to further boost the already great performance. The overall look of the Polo goes from 10 to 50 just by modifying the headlights.
Volkswagen Polo GT carries a solid 1.0-liter turbo petrol engine under the hood. This engine produces 110PS of power at 5000rps and 175Nm of torque between 1750rpm and 4000rpm and it comes with the option of both manual and automatic transmissions. This engine performs well on both city and highway. The mileage of the Polo is up to 16.47 kmpl.
The price of the Polo GT is Rs. 10.24 lakh (Ex-showroom) for the automatic variant. According to some reports, the Polo will make a comeback in India. The next-gen of Polo is expected to hit the Indian car market later in 2023 or in early 2024.
