These are the first photos of the Volkswagen Polo GTI facelift, released quite a few months after the vanilla Polo facelift was revealed in January this year.
What's most interesting is what's changed under the hood - the 1.4 TSI twin-charged engine that employs both a supercharger and turbocharger has been swapped out for a new 1.8 TSI turbocharged engine.
As a result, the Polo GTI now has 190 PS and 320 Nm - up from 180 PS and 250 Nm in the current model. A small bump in horsepower, but a massive increase in torque! The 100km/h sprint improves to 6.7 seconds.
The new 1.8 litre engine can now had with either a six-speed manual or a seven-speed DSG dual clutch automatic - the pre-facelift was DSG-only. Other features include LED headlamps, adaptive sports suspension.
