The Car India Didn’t Deserve: Every Volkswagen Polo Variant Ever Made in India

Ep 11 – Volkswagen Polo The Volkswagen Polo – Polo GT TSI, Polo GTI, Polo TDI India – is the car that India never properly appreciated and will spend years regretting. Every variant ever sold here was better than anything else in its segment. The entry-level cars were solid and honest. The GT TSI was one of the most rewarding drives in the affordable segment. And the race-spec and mid-engined variants existed in a category of their own. In this episode of Gone But Not Forgotten, we bring together every single Polo variant sold in India – the 1.2 MPI and TDI at launch, the GT TSI facelift, the GT TDI with 1.6 and 1.5 diesels, the Race Polo, the mid-engined rear-wheel-drive Polo RX, and the final 1.0 TSI. We also have a collection of tuned Polos and close with the Taigun – the car that carries the Polo’s best qualities into a body India is finally ready to buy. The Polo was too good for its own good. This is its complete story.
