Production of the premium hatchback will soon come to an end in India after a long 12-year run, as Volkswagen will focus on new models based on the MQB-A0-IN platform
Styling updates are similar to the standard Polo, albeit with traditional âGTIâ touches
Volkswagen recently took the wraps off the sixth-gen facelifted Polo in Europe. During the unveiling, the carmaker announced it would be introducing the facelifted GTI variant in the coming weeks. Now, images of the facelifted Polo GTI have been leaked ahead of its reveal, giving us an idea of what to expect.
The facelifted Polo GTI gets a similar styling treatment as the updated Polo, albeit with a few GTI-specific touches. The Polo GTI is traditionally available in red with bespoke red elements inside and out. So you get a dash of red underneath the headlamps and new connected LED DRL strip, red on the brake callipers, and ‘GTI’ badging on the grille and tailgate. The honeycomb mesh-like LED fog lamps seem inspired by the Golf GTI. The sportier and larger alloy wheels (possibly 19-inches) complete the design.
