2021 Volkswagen Polo GTI Teases Facelift In Design Sketch
"When Volkswagen introduced the facelifted Polo last month, the redesigned supermini was only seen in regular trim"
When Volkswagen introduced the facelifted Polo last month, the redesigned supermini was only seen in regular trim. At the end of June, when the hot hatch variant is officially announced, the Polo, Life, and R-Line trim levels – which will replace Trendline, Comfortline, and Highline – will be topped by the GTI. Meanwhile, Wolfsburg has posted a concept sketch to help pass the time.
It's described as "sharper, dynamic, and power-packed," and it comes with Grand Touring Injection's signature red accents. It gets LED daytime running lights embedded in the honeycomb (faux) air intakes, much like its big brother Golf GTI, but just two modules instead of five. The red strip above the light bar, which was introduced with the facelift, is also borrowed from the Golf GTI, and we'd argue that these improvements give the B-segment output hatch a more offensive appearance.
Since VW is being tight-lipped about the engine, we'll remind you that the pre-facelift version had a turbocharged 2.0-liter gasoline engine with 197 horsepower (147 kilowatts) and 320 Newton-meters (236 pound-feet) of torque. Before the Polo GTI became a DSG-only vehicle, it was available with a six-speed manual transmission. The six-speed dual-clutch automatic achieved a maximum speed of 147 mph (237 km/h) and a 0 to 62 mph (100 km/h) time of 6.7 seconds.
We expect the GTI to be well-equipped from the start, given its place at the top of the Polo food chain. VW admitted in January 2018 that the MQB A0 platform it's based on can handle more power, but it didn't commit to a GTI Performance variant or some other faster variant. With 217 horsepower on hand, the limited-run Polo R WRC Street unveiled in late 2012 remains the most powerful road-going Polo, so it's time for a new king of the hill.
If you need more fuel, the GTI is a must-have in the Polo lineup, as VW has chosen to skip the 1.5 TSI engine and its 150 horsepower once again. Despite the fact that it is available for the mechanically related SEAT Ibiza facelift and the new Skoda Fabia, the standard Polo is limited to the 1.0 TSI engine.
