Unless the face lift undergoes any mechanical changes ,the face lift won’t be exciting- just by adding some cosmetic upgrades-Thus the Polo is designed with more style, advanced technology, power and comfort all in one package.

Exterior Styling:

Frankly speaking, there is nothing much to describe about its exterior styling. Orange shade that is being poured in to the original look gives it a colorful appeal. Subtle changes are made at the front that includes aggressive front grille along with a body-colored bumper with integrated fog-lamps and a chrome strip running across it. Further, integrated turn indicator on the ORVM's,15-inch alloy wheels that are available only on the Highline variant, and a new rear bumper with integrated license-plate carrier and reflectors are found to receive a little up gradations. The car holds a rear spoiler with high level brake light at the middle and the company’s logo is placed down the rear glass and it is mainly for the trunk opener. The car comes with a body colored door handles and body colored rear view mirrors.

ENGINE&PERFORMANCE:

The engine is being pushed around with smooth and responsive acceleration with the turbo kicking.Since Volkswagen Polo has been launched with both petrol and diesel variants the engines are also expected to deliver different levels of engine performance and acceleration. The petrol variant of the car is powered by a 1.2L, 1198 cc enengine along with the five speed manual transmission which churns out the maximum power of 73.9 BHP @ 5400 RPM and maximum torque of 110 NM @ 3750 RPM.
