Volkswagen has launched the Polo TSI
edition and Vento TSI edition in India. The company has also revealed the
mileage of the BS6 Vento. The VW Polo TSI edition and VW Vento TSI edition don’t
have much to offer over the regular VW Polo and VW Vento respectively in terms
of features. But they're still much more attractive offerings comparatively,
which you'll come to know why towards the end of the story.
The TSI edition is based on the Highline
Plus variant of the regular cars. Its most special feature is exclusive body
side graphics. Save for the body side graphics, the styling of the TSI edition
is very similar to actually that of the GT variant in case of the VW Polo and
the discontinued GT Line variant in case of the VW Vento. The other highlights
include a honeycomb grille, TSI badge across the passenger doors, black ORVMs,
gloss black roof and gloss black rear spoiler.
The VW Polo TSI edition and VW Vento TSI
edition have no mechanical changes from the respective regular models. Both
employ an EA 211 1.0-litre TSI engine. This BS6 turbocharged three-cylinder
mill produces a maximum power of 110 PS at 5,000-5,500 rpm and a maximum torque
of 175 Nm at 1,750-4,000 rpm. It can be had with only a 6-speed manual
transmission. The hatchback has a fuel economy rating of 18.24 km/l and the
sedan has a fuel economy rating of 17.69 km/l.
The VW Polo TSI edition retails at INR
7.89 lakh*, which makes it INR 13,000 cheaper than its base car, the VW Polo
TSI Highline Plus (INR 8.02 lakh*). The VW Vento TSI edition has been priced at
INR 10.99 lakh*, which marks a savings of a whopping INR 1 lakh over its base
car, the VW Vento Highline Plus (INR 11.99 lakh*).
