In April, Volkswagen presented the new evolutionary stage of the sixth Polo generation. This is now followed by the sportiest variant: the new Polo GTI. This car with the legendary abbreviation leads the way in the Polo segment in terms of power, technology and sportiness. The high-torque 207 PS TSI engine and the sports running gear adapted especially for the Polo GTI turn the best-selling small compact car into a dynamic sports car with four doors. As an option, it also permits partly automated driving for the first time in the Polo GTI. The iconic design of the visually and technically updated compact athlete is characterised by legendary GTI insignia, such as the red strip in the radiator grille, the honeycomb structure of the air intake grille and the premium sports seats with the typical Clark check pattern on the seat centre panels. Numerous latest-generation assist systems guarantee even more comfort and safety for all passengers. Like in the other members of the new Polo product line, it comes equipped with the latest version of the online Infotainment systems (MIB3.1). This means that the five-seater sports car is “always on” and top-level connectivity is available on request. For brilliant full-colour display of digital content, the new Polo GTI now comes as standard with the Digital Cockpit Pro with 10.25-inch display, as well as the Ready2Discover Infotainment system including App-Connect Wireless, online control unit (eSIM), features on demand and 8-inch touchscreen. Radio navigation systems with 9.2-inch touchscreen are also optionally available.
