A sporty icon. Three letters, inextricably linked to Volkswagen: GTI. Gran Turismo Injection. For two decades now, the Polo GTI has been in the GTI range along with the Golf GTI. And in its latest generation, it is gaining plenty of momentum with a power output of 147 kW / 200 PS, a 6-speed DSG fitted as standard and a top speed of 237 km/h. Just 6.7 seconds is all it takes to sprint from 0 to 100 km/h. Its fuel consumption of 5.9 l/100 km reflects the drive system's efficiency. The new Polo GTI is another highlight in the long history of the GTI. Just step in, adjust the sports seats, buckle up - and there is an ergonomically tuned connection between human and machine. In the new Polo GTI, the start button for the engine becomes the trigger for a great driving experience. That is because the development team has created a dynamism which enables an engaged style of driving, yet it has integrated superior safety and a high level of comfort as well. This synthesis of dynamism, safety and comfort is the secret behind the success of the GTI concept and a core characteristic of the new Polo GTI.
Key features: a very agile drive system, low unladen weight (1,355 kg) and high power-to-weight ratio (6.78 kg/PS), sports running gear that is stiff but also good for long-distance driving, a safe front-wheel drive system and an ergonomically optimal seating position. This is all packaged in expressive exterior and interior designs that are upgraded by classic GTI insignia such as the typical red stripe in the radiator grille, GTI gear knob and legendary "Clark" plaid seat covers and are equipped with a networked and extensively digitalised cockpit. The Polo GTI, which always comes with four doors, is therefore an ideal, affordable and compact new-generation sports car.
