VW Polo ALLSTAR edition (India)
According to Autocar India reports, VW India
will launch the VW Polo ALLSTAR special edition in the coming days. The Polo ALLSTAR edition for India will also be available in the VW
Ameo‘s ‘Blue Silk’ body color, the publication reports.
The special edition Polo made its public debut at
the Geneva Motor Show this year, and was intended to promote the 2016 UEFA
European Championship football tournament that took place from June 10 to July
10 in France.
The Indian VW Polo ALLSTAR edition
is expected to get the ‘ALLSTAR’ lettering on the B-Pillar, diamond-cut alloy
wheels, sill plates, among other features. It is likely to be offered on the
Highline variants of the Polo 1.2 MPi and Polo 1.5 TDI. The former gets a
1.2-liter three-cylinder MPi petrol engine whereas the latter is powered by a
1.5-liter four-cylinder diesel engine. Both engine variants are paired to a
5-speed manual transmission.
VW India is also reportedly working on a new
turbocharger for the 1.5-liter TDI engine, which will increase its power output
from 105 PS to 108 PS. This updated 1.5-liter engine will be launched across
the range (Polo, Ameo, Vento and the Skoda Rapid) this festive season,
reportedly.
