It’s the 2020 Volkswagen Polo 1.0 TSI that gets the most accomplished engine yet An International Engine of the Year award winner, the 999cc direct-injection TSI petrol is both densely packed with technology and finely engineered to deftly balance the conflicting requirements of both power and fuel economy Compared to the previous 1.2 TSI rated at 105hp, the new 1.0 makes 110hp And despite its smaller capacity, it makes an identical 175nm of torque, albeit from a slightly higher 1,750rpm (vs 1,500rpm for the 1.2 TSI) The 1.0 TSI also has a cylinder less and, hence, a more apples-to-apples comparison is with Hyundai’s 1.0 -litre, three-cylinder TGDI motor which develops 100hp and 172Nm of torque.

What is segment that the new 2020 Polo 1.0 TSI gets a 6-speed manual gearbox for the first time, to strengthen driver appeal What is missing though - apart from a diesel option - is VW's quick-shifting 7-speed DSG or twin-clutch automatic In its place, the new Polo GT will get (it isn't in showrooms yet) a conventional torque converter-equipped 6-speed auto. Apart from the engine, little has changed on the 2020 Polo. VW's baby was given a facelift recently, and despite its age, it doesn’t look dated The perfectly proportioned shape is timeless and still exudes that solid Teutonic feel The crisp details still elicit long appreciative looks.

Volkswagen what adds to the appeal is the new GTI-like nose There's also an extra bit of cladding that stretches along the running board and around to the rear, merging with what looks like faux diffuser.

Volkswagen New Polo 2020 Let's start with performance, which by any yardstick is very strong The tug from 3,000rpm to around 6,000rpm delivers a strong push in the small of your back, and shift up a gear and there’s not much of a let-up in performance Acceleration is so strong, the 1.0-litre does the 0-100kph sprint in just 9.97sec, making it one of the fastest hatchbacks around Only Fiat's Abarth Punto was quicker but with most of the hot hatches discontinued, the Polo 1.0 TSI stands unchallenged The regular 1.2 Swift comes closest but it's a still a full two seconds slower in the race to 100kph, and that's despite its massive 190 kg weight advantage Also, find the right road and the 1.0 TSI will hit a maximum speed of 192kph - gives you an idea of just how much grunt there is in the motor.
If you compare to this segment cars Volkswagen Polo is bit any bad racing car zone.
