Volkswagen Polo facelift launched at Rs 4.99 lakh

Volkswagen has launched the facelifted Polo starting at Rs 4.99 lakh. The new VW Polo sees cosmetic updates and the big news is that it gets an all-new 1.5-litre diesel motor. We were the first to break the news on this new engine way back in September 2013.

 

Stylistically, the facelifted VW Polo gets a new face. The front bumper has a new design and a thick chrome strip on the air-dam. The grille uses less chrome and there's now a smart single strip instead of three. There are new-design alloys and the headlights and tail-lights get refreshed styling as well, but LED day-time running lights are missing on the updated car. The rear bumper has also been redesigned. The Polo facelift also gets a striking new orange paint shade.

 

On the inside, the facelifted Polo gets a brand new three-spoke steering wheel with some piano-black garnishing and buttons laid out on both sides. It has dual front airbags. The dashboard gets a two-tone option and the centre console gets silver finishing in contrast to the black.

 

Mechanically, the new VW Polo retains the 1.2-litre and 1.2-litre TSI petrol units. Importantly, the facelifted VW Polo gets an all-new 1.5-litre diesel motor that is available in two states of tune — 89bhp and 104bhp. Transmission duties are handled by a five-speed manual gearbox.
