Volkswagen has silently introduced a new range
topping trim of the Polo called VW Polo Highline Plus. In July, we reported that
the Highline Plus trim was to arrive at dealerships and it seems VW has
initiated deliveries now.
The VW Polo Highline Plus trim gets minor exterior
and interior updates. It gets new 16-inch Portago Alloy wheels borrowed from
the GT Sport variant. The cabin gets an all-black colour scheme as opposed to
the black-beige combo in existing trims. It gets semi-leatherette seat
upholstery, which is brown with a check pattern. The top-spec Volkswagen Polo
also gains a new head unit with reverse parking camera. For rear seat
occupants, additions include a centre armrest and air conditioning vents. The
rest of the equipment is the same as the Highline trim.
The Highline Plus trim is available at a premium of
about INR 26,000 over the Highline trim. Currently, the VW Polo Highline trim
retails for INR 701,900 and INR 855,400 for the petrol and diesel variants
respectively (ex-showroom Delhi).
The Polo is powered by a 1.2 L MPI petrol and a 1.5
L TDI diesel. Both engines are available with only a 5-speed manual
transmission. While the 1,198 cc petrol is capable of producing 75 PS and 110
Nm, the 1,498 cc diesel puts out 90 PS and 230 Nm.
