The Volkswagen Polo is regarded as one one of the sportiest hatchbacks in the country along with the Hyundai i20. Especially with the TSI powertrain, this hatchback can give sport sedans or SUVs a run for their money in terms of performance.
In the BS6 era, the Polo is offered with either a 1.0-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine or the performance focussed 1.0-litre TSI turbocharged engine replacing the old 1.2-litre TSI. We might have some good news who wish to own the more spirited Polo TSI in this article.
From inside sources, we had reported that the TSI Limited Editions of the Polo and the Vento have been discontinued, however, there are many other reports going around the internet which suggest otherwise, but as per our sources the TSI Edition of the Polo and the Vento will no longer be available and the TSI Highline Plus MT variant of both the siblings will now be offered at the same price points as the TSI Editions.
The Polo and the Vento TSI Editions will now be offered at ex-showroom prices of Rs 7.89 lakh and Rs 10.99 lakh respectively. The Polo is offered at a discount of Rs 13,000 whereas the Vento is offered at a discount of Rs 1 lakh from the dealership end. Further according to our source, the prices can dip further with a corporate discount depending on where the buyer works.

The TSI Limited Editions were similar in every aspect of the Highline Plus manual variants barring the additional body graphics painted on the TSI Editions. The TSI Limited editions were launched a couple of months back and according to the company received good responses from buyers. Although Volkswagen is still ought to confirm the latest report so we’ll wait until that.
