6th Gen VW Polo gets updated!

Volkswagen has finally updated their 6th generation Polo. The 2021 facelift for the Volkswagen Polo is extensive both inside and out. The exterior now looks a lot more mature, thanks to Volkswagen Golf inspired Bi-LED projector headlights. There is also a LED light bar that connects both the headlamps and accentuated the width of the car. 

The changes on the exterior further extend to new front bumpers with horizontally mounted fog lamps with C-shaped surrounds and new wider air intakes. The rear has also been redesigned to complement the front-end with new rear bumpers and tail lamps.

The interior also receives its share of updates, but the new larger 9.3-inch infotainment screen steals the limelight. The new infotainment features a host of connectivity and connected car tech. The update also brings new fully digital instrument cluster and driver assistance features like adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and a basic lane guidance system (standard in all variants).

However, the engine options remain unchanged with the 79hp 1.0-litre MPi engine and the 1.0-litre TSI engine. The latter being available in two states of tune, a 94hp tune that comes mated to a 5-speed manual transmission or a 7-speed DSG transmission, and a more powerful 109hp tune with 7-speed DSG transmission as standard.

There is also a hotter version available in the form of POLO GTi, which too carries forward the same engine as the pre-facelift model. Its 2.0-litre TSI engine pumps out 200hp and sends it all to front wheels via a 7-speed DSG transmission.
