The new Polo GTi will get the 1.8 Litre 4-cylinder turbocharged engine with 6-speed manual or the DSG gearbox, which will replace the current 1.4 Litre four-cylinder turbocharged powerhouse in the car. This new engine will be producing the 190 bhp power and 320 Nm of torque and will reach to the 100 km/h mark from rest in just 6.7 seconds. The design changes will be very subtle in the car with new bumper at rear and front, latest grille, tailgate GTi badge and red accents as well.
