2020 Volkswagen Polo GT TSI review - Old spice | First Drive | Autocar India 

Zika virus came and went, Swine flu came and went now corona will come and go but VW polo will look the same 😅

Autocar SHOULD also mention safety ratings in all their reviews.

Bs4 to bs6 polo differences:- 1. 4 to 3 cylinder 2. Dct to tc gear box 3. 1.2L to 1.0L engine 4. Marginal 5hp more power 5. No arm rest, no rear ac vente, no led, key less entery, button start, leather seats, Sun roof, apple car play needs a cable, no wireless charging, no back seat space 6. Same design / interior 7. High maintenance 8. Also same price as old one! (Clearly indicates that VW is maximizing their margins) Reading the comments here, there are still some fans of this car. But buying this car in 2020 only sends the wrong message to the manufacturer. They may take indian market for granted. This is just not done by VW and the market must teach them that. I am a huge polo and VW fan. But this just shows VW is not serious about Indian market. They hold just 2% of the market share and don't care about increasing it either. SAD. Whereas india has become the 4th largest market for automobiles in the world. Also @autocar not sure if there is a highline AT variant. Can you confirm.

if vw increase back space ,No car can compare with this

OMG!!! Wow this Polo looks so different from the previous versions!!!!!!!!!! -_-

I thought it was a 2010 VW Polo review. Thank God I saw the upload date 😂

This car is a modern day classic. I'm sure after 20-30 years this gen of Polo would fetch huge money for its timeless styling.

this is the best looking solid car in india specially in red colour

I've always dreamed to have this car in my garage Even tho I'm a bike guy

Diesel TDI was legend

Just change the instrumental cluster, add reverse camera, completely backed out cabin. That's it it's perfect

Just now polo came to my mind...and you guys uploaded a video!❤😍

I am a i10 owner, but my most fav car is polo... just watching for Polo...

It’s old but it brings out the youth in you

Fiat Palio S10 gtx sports was a power racer.... design way ahead of time ... aerodynamic side fenders....rear spoiler unique...side skirts.. Canary yellow ...500 limited edition with Sachin signature....the steering was crisp....raw 100 bhp ... Italian design ...2002💓💓💓...ohhh did not mentioned the growling sound......wrrrrroooommmmmmmm

Doesn’t matter if it’s faster, I am not paying 11 lakhs on road for a 15 year old design. It’s a dinosaur

Every one say about design. But I would say that vw polo design never old.

DSG anyday over this. Better go for manual TSI over Torque converter 👍

Torque converters are known to be thirsty. I think Rapid Manual is the only sensible pick of this trio.

Oldest car in its segment. But still the best drivers cars in the segment . No other car can match its build quality, highway syability, acceleration, road manner, ride quality . Even after 10 years of its launch in india. Rear seat space is very less, one of the biggest drawback of polo

Why I am still stuck in 2010.

I don't know why i still prefer this 10 year old car more than those car's came under these year's.

POLO GT the absolute Fun to drive car...No car can match GT.

Polo, polo and polo, the best drivers Car💯

I like the transmission...no problem with a TC,even the new M5 went from DCT to TC

❤️🔥Always love your reviews 🔥❤️

I am a big time fan of volkswagen cars and it always brings smile to my face experiencing German machine.One issue is the lack of rear space even lacking of boot space. Also i have one doubt in my mind is it possible to perform burnouts on a automatic? I mean is it possible to tap the brake in D mode and rev it up and than suddenly release it. Any user or anyone? If anyone can help i will be really grateful and would like to thank in advance

Wow what a nice car

NO DSG still rocks huh! Goto drive!!

Don't call ur self a petrol head if u feel that polo is outdated . a Volkswagen is one of a kind . those who drives it knows that no car can replace it. You can buy Hyundai, tata or Suzuki. But owning polo is a privilege

People in the comment box, but the build quality Only thing it gets.

Best car in the segment

That BS 6 badge is too much. And Manual gearbox proponents who havnt driven a GT TSI- ek baar drive in Bangalore on a Saturday evening.

Will buy one if the European model hits India, no matter what the price. Till then it's a big no for this 2010 model.

Miss dsg 😌

Great journalist.

Team, can you compare this with new i20 and altroz..

powerful car :)

cmon volkswagen enuf w the 2010 design

Dct will definitely give higher FE compared to TC - you will struggle to get 19 kpl on tc which is easy on the highways with gt tsi dct

Polo to polo hai yr iska koi compition ni hai ❤️❤️

Volkswagen Polo GT car very nice

Love Polo bcz of its build quality and design ❤️

Which one isbetter sir, polo tsi or fiat abarth punto?

Please do the review of ford Freestyle 2020

No matter what but.. Manual gearboxes are the best...and it feels much more alive and enthusiastic

if you are looking for manual with gt power, go for the polo tsi ,it gets a manual

i have both polo nd vento..both cars are 🔥🔥

My dad still loves his polo GT 1.6 tdi than our volvo v40 :)

Love polo.??😍

Still waiting for the next gen Polo in India.. Can’t understand the logic of selling an old car when the world gets a better bigger one!

VW cars have got generational updates around the world but in India it remains the same. Indians are happy with Tin Cans.

For everyone compalining about the eurospec facelift not being rolled into the indian markets, you should understand that it would cost approximately 16 lakhs on road in India. At this price point how many of you think you should shell out your money for unnecasary bells and whistles, which btw seems to be Hyundai's usp and is clearly failing as is evident from the pricing of the new i20.

Gearbox Swapped but the D3 to D2 jerk continues. Thats really sad :/

Better take a Kawasaki Ninja zx10r engine and fit it with a 6 speed manual. Manual transmission with clutch pedal is always better than automatic, atleast to me.

Waiting for Polo GT TDI engine there Diesel engine till now unimaginable 😀

When gti....?.waiting...

Whatever they put under the skin but the designs of most of VW are getting too old now. In every other market they are 3-4 generations ahead. That's too much of ignorance on their part for India. Seriously I don't like any of their cars except new coming tiguan.

You could get Nexon instead of it or even free style deisel

Can you people compare GLS400D &BMW X7 , AMG G63 & WRANGLER , GLE 400D & BMX X5

When will the new polo come???

For so many years polo exterior looks same!

i am getting avg 14 in city (new delhi)

All older model from the EU are lunched in India, the interiors looks like 6-8 year old German model.

Why to buy GT over the highline plus AT?

For heaven’s sake, GIVE US THE NEW GEN POLO WHICH IS ALREADY 3 YEARS OLD IN EUROPE!

To all the Polo fans, updated polo mk6 had launched sinse 2017 overseas but seems like Volkswagen is not taking much interest in indian market sticking to old 11yrs old model 😑

Love from Gujarat ❤️

Volkswagen polo is great

I bought this TDI car in 2011 and sold after using 6 years... very rugged car..I like the drive and stability. Very bad head lights.. VW should concentrate on design and features. Otherwise it's totally waste to buy this expensive hatchback in current scenario.

Is this car contain clutch ??

So basically the new standard Polo and the new GT TSI share the same engine. The only difference being one has a manual and the other has an automatic. If it demands a higher premium than the standard Polo just for its badge, I don't think it will shine.

Venue or polo?

@autocar do a review about Toyota urban cruiser

VW how will you sell your same old cars in India if you don’t change.

The biggest gripe of the Polo i.e The DSG is gone now, hopefully the TC is far more reliable.

what about safety features and safety rating? you don't think its important?

No Drl,led and Reverse camera atleast. That's basics even in Kwid 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️.

VW Polo is like CBR 250R of cars. Everyone loved them when they launched but not anymore Bks they stuck with decade old design. Seriously guy! it's time you get back to drawing board. 🙄

A perfect design does not need any updates.. Dated design ?? Its an automobile, not fashion..

polo price is not justified. one can but rapid rider and get a better sedan.at almost 10 lack no projector lamp/led lights is a bummer.

Instead of buying the gt tsi just buy the top 1.0 l turbocharged 3 cylinder highline plus and you can save 50 grand and get rear ac and arm rest from the company and get gti baging if you want the unwanted flex🙄 tho I brought mine just today for learning car by my dad

Manual is the choice

I Juz Don't Understand Y Makers Gng Through 1liter Engines Wit Turbo Wich R Nt Long Lasting.. One Thing Is Der Is No Replacement 4 Displacement

Main complaint of this vehicle is ABS Sensor problem

Nissan Magnite is a great option....

Wait a minute did old polo GT TDI had paddle shifters🤔🤔

Well said 😂🤣 it is like old spice

Enough is enough, Polo is not relevant anymore! It is been 3 and half years since the new Polo is out but Volkswagen is having no intention of launching it here! It shows how much Volkswagen cares for indian customers!

For me manual is the best

Dask looks from 1980s

V costly,can go for manual diesel i20 or altroz to get better thrill

Is it still good option when we have entry level SUV and other spacious turbo charged Hatchbacks in this price zone like Venue, Sonet, new I20, Altroz ?? Given the option I may not opt. Not to hurt any ones feelings, it’s just my feedback.

didnt understand why only red Colour

Yes ingredients are diluted as gone is dsg

One big USP the car had and they changed it to a torque convertor. Test it on ghat inclines and let us know which one completes the circuit smoother and happier. Vws are never meant for cities. These are highway mile munchers

Why doesn't India get the new Polo sold globally :(

Meanwhile Abarth Punto with 1.4 litre turbo leaving India

Engine has become smaller. Design is same. As in 2010. Anyone buying it in 2020????

I love the car back camera is missing
