The India-made VW Polo 180 TSI was showcased at the
Indonesia International Motor Show 2017. The 180 TSI
is based on the VW Polo 1.2 TSI (VW Polo GT TSI in India) but comes with
slightly more peformance and aggressive looks.
The Polo 180 TSI
features a sportier body kit that includes extended front bumpers, side skirts,
black roof spoiler more aggressive rear bumper, silver accents at the back as
well as across the profile, and silver ORVM caps. It still rides on the 15-inch
TOSA alloy wheels shod by Apollo Alnac 4G tires. The interior has not been
snapped, but it’s likely to be identical to the Polo 1.2 TSI, complete with
cruise control, touch screen, auto-dimming mirror and black upholstery.
VW India
could consider introducing the 180 TSI as a sportier version of the Polo GT
TSI, slotting under the VW GTI. The company gave the top-spec variant some
freshness with the ‘Sport’ edition last month but left the mechanicals
undisturbed.
Under the hood is a 1.2L four-cylinder turbocharged
petrol motor that outputs 110 PS and a namesake 180 Nm of torque (5 PS and 5 Nm
more than the Polo 1.2 TSI), paired with a 7-speed DSG automatic transmission
sends power to the front wheels. Fuel mileage is expected to be slightly lower
than the Polo 1.2 TSI’s 17.21 km/l.
