All-new 6th generation VW Polo GTI revealed with 197bhp

Volkswagen has revealed a new Polo GTI alongside the rest of the 6th generation Polo range, the brand’s crucial new supermini that will battle the recently refreshed Ford Fiesta and SEAT Ibiza. But where SEAT has already confirmed that it will not be building a new Ibiza Cupra, Volkswagen has not wasted any time getting together its new Polo GTI. We're expecting to see it in the metal for the first time at the 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show.

Hiding a new, larger 2-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine under its conservative new skin, the Polo GTI produces 197bhp that is sent to the front wheels via either a 6-speed manual gearbox or 7-speed DSG. This represents a subtle 8bhp gain over the previous model, but thanks to the larger engine will probably also represent a jump in torque, although VW has yet to confirm exact figures.

Visually the new Polo shares the same conservative new styling themes as the regular Polo, but raises the visual appeal with a usual combination of GTI specific design flourishes. At the front, a honeycomb mesh grill appears alongside a red trim stripe that also bleeds into the headlights on models equipped with the optional LED headlights.
