Volkswagen Polo 1.0 TSI price, variants explained

While Volkswagen may have revealed prices for the BS6-compliant Polo early in March, quite a few details were still unknown, such as the safety kit and features on offer. By the end of last month, the creature comforts and safety features on offer with the entry-level and mid-spec Polo variants had been revealed, but the range-topping versions had not yet been explained. Now, we’ve got information that confirms what features will be available on the Polo Highline Plus.
