Volkswagen Polo Comes To India

[Neil.Bhujbal]

Hmm Lets see, Actually i don't get the logic behind launching the 1.6 liter engine.

I checked on some sites,the 1.6 liter engine pumps out 105 hp
where as the 1.2 liter TSi pumps out 102 hp & gives better mileage than the 1.6l engine.

Even internationally the polo now comes with 1.2l tsi, 1.6l diesel & 1.8l tsi engine.

1.2L - 102hp and 1.6L - 105hp??
where did you find these specs. If this is the case then 1.6L doesnt seem logical. Also with 102hp(1.2L) under the hood it cant be called underpowered as it is being on many of forums and communities.

Actually the 1.2 tsi pumps out 105 Below is the link.
It also says the 1.6l has been replace 1.2l tsi engine & it travels quarter more than the 1.6 l engine (More mileage)

All technical details are already in this thread. I think you have missed post-147.

 

[Neil.Bhujbal]

I was talking about the 1.2 tsi engine,the one mentioned on website & post 147 is a 1.2 l engine.

I am sorry.

Akash,

Are you sure its going to be 1.6L diesel ?

Did you mean 1.2 petrol ?

Thanks for pointing that mistake.
It is 1.2L Diesel and not 1.6L Diesel. The specs of 1.6L Petrol are correct

 

[Umang]

[Umang]

Not confirmed yet, but hopefully in March/Apr.

thanks. polo looks good but I wish if tail lamps were circular one like this, they look more sportier.

unfortunately what we will get is this -

 

[Akash]

Very true Umang. These circular ones looks more dynamic.

 

[cooldhaya]

Exactly! The circular tail lamps along with the exhausts looks good but sad we wont be getting this here!
