After the facelift for the entire generation of the Polo family, the GTI was refreshed too. Since it is the best super-mini German vehicle, it had to come with some features to stand out of the crowd. On the front, a honeycomb grille and a red stripe are showing the car's sporty intentions. On the front fenders, there are red and chromed GTI badges like those found on its bigger brother, the Golf GTI.
Inside, it looks like it is a Golf GTI reduced in scale. There are the same design GTI steering wheel, the GTI dashboard and the design of the fabric on the seats similar to its bigger brother. The overall dashboard look doesn't seem different from the other Polo's. The infotainment unit is still the same, but good, with a large enough touchscreen and few buttons.
In the rear, there is room for four and, since it has the same MQB platform, it has the same intrusion on the center tunnel. The Polo GTI is available as a three or five-door, so if someone would plan to use it as a family car, it is ok. The rear seats also have Isofix child-seats anchoring systems.
It is very important to know that this Polo GTI can feature an automatic transmission with a double-clutch or a standard six-speed manual. The suspension was stiffened compared to the rest of the Polo range.
