Exclusive: 2013 Volkswagen Polo GT 1.2 TSI expected soon
You heard it here first. We've got exclusive spy shots of the upcoming Volkswagen Polo with the TSI engine, dubbed the Polo GT. A little birdy told us that the engine is VW's high-tech 1.2-litre turbocharged petrol unit and is mated to an automatic gearbox. We suspect it will be a DSG gearbox, though we're not sure if it's a 6 or 7 speed unit. Sadly, we didn't see paddle shifters.
Interiors are two-tone, with brushed-metal pedals. GT TSI badging is visible on the door sills. The exterior treatment is similar to the recently-launched Polo SR, with a sporty body kit and smoked headlamps.
If this is indeed the same 1.2 TSI sold in international markets, then we believe the Polo GT will effectively replace the 1.6 model, while maintaining the same 105bhp power output and increasing mileage to boot! We expect the model to be out sometime next month. Stay tuned for more as we get it.
