2020 Volkswagen Polo GT TSI Review | 6-Speed Automatic Tested | evo India 

Would you pick this 6-speed torque convertor, or would you rather still have the DSG?

I never expected this torque converter to be as good as the DSG, but it is almost as good! And less reliability / longevity worries too

The only car that can take the place of or replace a Polo is.. The New Polo. Period. This thing is a.. LEGEND.

Still in love with my gt tsi dsg❤️

I have the manual 6 speed with me , it’s a beautiful car both in terms of performance and mileage. Got an average of 17.5 on a long drive with averages inching above 18 as per road condition.... It’s a blast to overtake on the roads and you feel very confident seated inside..

VW just change the design,in International market polo is far better than Indian polo. Upgrade the design because enough is enough😤

Wow I think you are the first person to review this automatic version 👍

Evo India is the only channel which shows the true side of the car. Their reviews are so informative. Really amazing.

I feel VW will lose it’s charm as the DSG was the only strong selling point over the others in terms of automatic cars. And still pricing the Polo GT at the premium side after ditching the dsg and having a smaller engine should have helped the polo’s cost go down but It didn’t. VW should think about it (old dated interiors,lacking features) As competition are opting for the DSG now.

Guys just a suggestion. It would be great if you could also do a 0-100 test along with braking from 0-100😊

They should have launched with Blind Spot Detection, Rear View Camera and LED Headlights.

A superb review sir....enjoyed it like anything 😁. Couldn't stop smiling seeing you enjoy it.

This is the review that I wanted for a long time for a car like polo, if you have a polo then who the hell talk about the design, features bla bla, everyone knows that it's design is timeless, you should only talk only about the drivability of the car, which you guys have done. The best review of the polo I have watched till now.

1st channel to review the 2020 polo gt. Great job👍

Polo GT DSG had much better 0-100. I think VW has done cost cutting here and aims to reduce the services cost and reliability issues as well (which suits our Indian market). But I hope VW doesn't compromise way too much and lose their German car appeal with such measures, so as to boost sales. Atleast VW should have reduced price of Polo GT with TC even more (as DSG costs more than TC, but we don't get a price cut matching that). Ameo 1.5 TDI DSG & Karoq owner here and I prefer DSG gearboxes over other alternatives any day!

Can't imagine VW cars without DSG.

Im just imagining dsg with this engine ❣️

I was in clg when I got in love with polo dsg gearbox .Now I'm in a MNC and I can afford now but DSG is not available in polo .my life sucks

I dont miss the dsg in this video but I missed the ultimate adrenaline sirish sir.need a full video by sirish sir

I was waiting for this ❤💥🤘. Thank you brotha for the kidik review 😊

So let me get this straight, for the first time since the Polo was launched, a Polo GT TSI is SLOWER than the regular Polo? And you guys love it for that?

Is there a difference in the quality of the gear lever? This looks more plastic-y than before.

Absolutely amazing reviews by Evo India Team. Each every podcast is brilliant too, always looking forward to every upload!

I am always biased towards Polo GT TSI. Driver's delight!

Hey Atish ! Awesome seeing you Reviewing this Beautiful Red Polo. Good Luck Buddy.

I'm sorry, but the Indian Automotive editors are really bad when it comes to criticizing the car manufacturer. All these editors do is massage the ego of these brands. Its nice to hear good things about a car but do STRONGLY CRITICIZE the BAD things. In this case, polo has got pathetic interior from beginning and has hardly even improved to its competition (Altroz, i20, Ecosport) who have improved so much. Yes the price will increase with these changes for VW but again its not like the current price of VW makes it look like VFM for a new owner. A 10 - 12 lac car is supposed to feel atleast like 9 lac worth with quality but that is hugely missed in interiors which an owner mostly spend his/her time. Am sorry to tell this but Indian Manufacturers take us for granted and you people need to step up as VOC (voice of customer) which you are failing to do currently and avoids evolution in face lifts amongst other things.

Not convinced... cant compare with a DSG. The only reason VW is removing the DSG is so that the premium cars only have the DSG.

was waiting for this since long good job @evoindia❤️

Polo is marred by space constraint ... no matter how good the car is , but with a price tag of 10lakh on its sleeves it’s certainly not a toy for miser Indian customers, may be it shall put smiles on fewer accelerator happy youths who love showing off how fast their feet is .. the one car thing that drew customers attention was the Dsg gearbox ..that’s gone too.

Bt I've driven the dsg no doubt it's a good engine but the suspension would let you toss around all over the car. The suspension was really stiff and make the car more jerky on bumpy roads. Bt the latter one has much softer and better suspension. Also I felt no jerks during the break shifts

The older Polo TSI had a Turbocharged 1.2litre 4cyc engine mated to a 7-speed DSG which drives it's front wheels, which was a legend, so what if VW instead of this turbocharged 1litre 3cyc engine matted with a 6-speed AMT torque converter gearbox driving it's front wheels decides to give a 1.2litre Turbocharged 3cyc engine matted with an 8-speed DCT torque converter gearbox with a paddle shifter, driving all it's wheels. People will consider it as a real hot hatch, they'll love the Polo more than anything else, it will be crazier and it will definitely sell like hot cakes.

If VW increase rear space, led lights/drl and add a reverse camera they can sell polo for another 10 years without any design change

Torque converter can never replace the DSG. Strange to believe that the introducer of DSG in India is replacing it by torque converter when other manufacturers are coming up to introduce DCT/DSG for their vehicles. When polo was heavily criticized only for outdated interior and crampy leg room people expected it to be replaced by new generation polo but that didn't happen yet and now DSG has been replaced by torque converter. Can't understand what VW is planning for India.

Polo is love ... and Evo india brings nice reviews which are very useful

What is the diff bw highline plus AT and GT , do we have traction control in both , and what else ?

I am confused which one to buy. The manual tsi or the gt tsi?

Oh My!!!! finally The 2020 GT...❤️❤️❤️❤️

Just took a test drive. This engine is not as refined as the old TSI. You can feel some vibrations and clutter during idle. It's zippy enough for the city, but 3 cylinders will not be very comfortable during long rides. The gearbox too has been downgraded. The dual clutch DSG was a joy to drive with gear shifting taking just a few milliseconds. This torque converter in comparison feels like a Honda CVT. Definite cost cutting done for long term reliability and lower servicing costs in an extremely price sensitive market. This is the reason why we don't have good performance hatches and have to make do such tradeoffs for the sake of mass sales.

Super video! Loved it! ❤️

I disappointed after coming to know that dsg gearbox is discontinued but after test driven 1.0 turbo no words. Car enthusiasts will definitely like this. It's the engineering. Apart from engine the chassis, aerodynamics will add overall experience. No other car can match this performance under 25 lacs budget.

No.. sure u are an enthusiast.. and that’s what makes the review so engaging for an enthusiast.. but TC replacing the DSG.. sad...! I am a Polo GT fan myself.. but this change disheartens me..

Dear Reviewers, I must say you very well know what it takes to cover/demonstrate all points that an enthusiast has on the priority list to choose a car(for most buyers its their dream/love). In simple words this review describes "Polo Character".

volkswagen going in opposite direction, manual tsi edition is more a hot hatch than this. expected dsg with paddle shifters this time since engine is given to non-GT version.

I took a test drive today only . I was so dissapointed. No Big No. There is nothing like Torque converter is reaching the standard of DSG. There is huge lagging. You throttle on Drive or Sport, it misses that punch ( i call it confidence ) we use to get in DSG GT. Its degraded model. Driving fast isn't a quality of car. The response gives you more control of car. Truly in simple words lets just admit that POLO GT TSI is no more.

Vw is still making some adjustments and trying to sell its products but India really needs the euro version come on VW it's not fair to have the same platform cars for more than a decade..

Such a fabulous presentation! ♥️

Hi Sirish, Polo deserves your over enthusiastic review.. don't worry abt some comments...

Currently own a manual Polo. Should I go for a used Polo with a DSG or the new one? It's disappointing that there's no more DSG for the new model.

Polo without DSG is like cream cheese without cream, or cheese for that matter as 1 cylinder is also gone.

I am planning to buy comfortline polo, which you will recommend to buy? My wife will also drive same car and she is a rookie; shall I buy 6 speed MT or the automatic version?

Excellent Review. Unfortunately people in India fond of Maruti Suzuki and Hyundai Cars for attractive features, pocket friendly maintenance cost and of course looks. German made cars are more fun to drive and sturdy. Recently new i20 launched and considering price for Asta DCT for 12.5 lack, I would rather go with Polo Highline Plus 1.0L TSI AT at 10.77 lack on road price.

@Sirish Chandran Does the GT TSI get ESP and Hill hold?

Much awaited video 🔥

Which one would you buy? The gt or the manual tsi?

No way, GT TSI will lose its charm.. It lost the USP which was the DSG

u should do a comparison with the figo 1.5AT then conclude about the best hot-hatch... it has 123bhp and sub 10sec 0-100 time with ESP and TCS aswell

Wasted my time by showing your go cart track driving n not focusing on the features

i love this car looks

bro we need your review too.. pls do a review in your style pls

Does it come with hill hold? And is there any turbo lag?

guys, a drag between this and 1.2 TSI with DSG.

DSG is the emperor...!

Bitterly the truth is DSG is reserved for premium cars💔

I love VW cars.. anyone plz suggest me the difference between old Polo GT TSI ( 7-speed DSG gearbox ) VS new 2020 polo GT TSI ( 6-speed TORQUE CONVERTER gearbox ) ... Can we feel any difference in lag ? in new torque converter gearbox ??? which is best ??? Getting used GT TSI or NEW GT 2020 model ..?? ( in automatic variant ) I personally liked TSI Manual .. but I need an suggestion regarding automatic varient for driving in city traffic conditions & some weekend drives..!! Do suggest me guysss ??.. is it worth going ??? I don’t care about mileage & fancy electronics !!..

VW was never and can never be a brand for masses.. They must not compromise for the sake of competition with Japanese or Koreans. You buy a VW because you want a German. There is no point in buying a VW if they give you what Koreans and Japanese can also.

Nah Happy with the manual 😂

Gonna head straight to the showroom now 💖

The biggest reason to buy polo is the quality of VW manufacturing and rust free experience. The only thing that one cannot understand is their over enthusiasm and bias as if it's a 1.8 tsi Golf.

11:37, what does cheaper automatic transmission mean? , Cause they already discontinued the DSG. Now, They brought the TC transmission. What other automatic transmissions would be an option for the polo?

Only a polo can beat a polo

What about the mileage?

They need to bring in the MQB platform version to India now. This Polo has started showing its age.

Still they cant sort out abs sensor issues and interior design takes you 10nyears back

Atleast they should add rear camera and push button start to attract buyers among competition

Hum first, hum first 😂😂

Evo shows the true side of vehicles, other channel give paid reviews vibes , how can i get evo stickers

Does anyone know how to register on new "myvolkswagon connect"app. I am getting imei number error.

VW what’s wrong? Why is the polo GT expensive than the Highline+ auto as the only difference is black OVRM 😅😅

Sir..Does this get a hill hold assist?

DSG is a Holy Grail.......please VW bring back DSG...

Hi Is it worth to buy gt automatic at 5.4lakh rupees? 2015,64000kms done

What's the point of having the same price IF you don't have 4 cylinders and a DSG? Thats a ripoff...

Missing TDI.. all r doing review on TSI turbo one but wt abt normal peteol vehicle..

Please make comparison video of i20 and polo. I m so confused

What is real life mileage of Polo gt automatic in petrol ????

A vodka shot every time they say clinical!

No auto transmission can beat the DSG

Love this car. Waiting for my day.

Foreign variants have automatic park assistance which Indian variants don’t have

Does it include Hill hold assist?

How is it differ from polo highline plus tsi

and stupid me thinking about rear seats comfort during the whole video rather than enjoying the video

😭still i am gonna miss DSG

Pidiya nikal gyi Magar Polo ka look change nhi hua😂😂😂

On road comparison with DCT?

What is the milleage of automatic gt tsi varaiant

1:47 that's where the insurance companies were called

What was 0-100 timing in your test drive

Why did they ditch the DSG

Does it have cruise control?
