In BS6 form, the Polo Trendline, Comfortline and Highline Plus variants will be powered by a 1.0-litre, three-cylinder, naturally aspirated MPI engine. The engine comes mated to a new 6-speed manual gearbox. As for the Highline Plus and GT variants of the Polo, they will be powered by a new 1.0 TSI turbo-petrol engine which produces 110hp and 175Nm of peak torque. This engine can either be had with the new 6-speed manual or the new 6-speed torque convertor automatic transmission. 

Although Volkswagen has kept the base price of the BS6 Polo same as its BS4 counterpart, overall prices for the Polo 1.0 MPI have increased by about Rs 4,000. Interestingly, the now top-spec Polo GT with the new 1.0L TSI engine and the 6-speed automatic gearbox is Rs 17,000 less expensive than the previously available top-spec Polo GT with the 1.2 TSI and 7-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox.
