Volkswagen announced the price range of the BS6 versions of the Polo and Polo GT in March 2020. We now have the variant-wise prices of the Polo range, which is offered in four variants: Trendline, Comfortline Plus (new), Highline Plus and GT. While Volkswagen offers the Polo with two petrol engines, the new turbo-petrol unit is limited to the Highline Plus and GT variants.
The 1.2-litre petrol engine and the 1.5-litre diesel motor have been discontinued. Volkswagen has introduced a new 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine, which has essentially replaced the old 1.2-litre turbo petrol unit. The new 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine produces 110PS and 175Nm. The existing 1.0-litre MPI petrol unit has been upgraded to meet BS6 emission norms and produces the same output as before: 76PS and 95Nm.
With the 1.0-litre turbo-petrol unit, VW has also introduced a new 6-speed automatic gearbox. The standard Polo gets an automatic option for the first time.This turbo motor comes mated to either a 6-speed MT or a 6-speed AT. The AT gearbox, however, is limited only to the top-spec Highline Plus variant.

On the other hand, the Polo GT was offered with a 1.2-litre petrol motor (105PS/175Nm) that was paired to a 7-speed DSG. In the BS6 era, Volkswagen is offering the Polo GT with the new 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine that is coupled with a 6-speed MT. This is the first time that the Polo GT is being offered with a manual gearbox instead of an automatic.
