The engine experiences most when it comes to this face lifted model, boosting the vehicle’s performance. The Indian market on the other hand will have a firsthand experience of a refreshed engine; this being a 4-cylinder, 1.5 litre turbo diesel engine. The refreshed approach leads to the Polo becoming eligible for excise duty benefits. Even post the benefits the range is a little on the expensive town, priced 6.27 lakhs on the road, but nonetheless there will definitely be customers queuing up for this all innovative diesel hatchback.

One drive on the highway and the improved engine quality starts to kick in, the performance and feel is again encouraging and refreshing.
