Volkswagen India is quite keen on making the Polo a huge success when they launch the hatchback next year from their new Pune facility. After the not so successful launch of the Skoda Fabia, Volkswagen is worried about meeting its India Polo target of 25,000 units a year. Thus to ensure success of the Polo, Volkswagen has put a target price of Rs. 4 lakh for the base variant of the Polo which will be equipped with the naturally aspirated 1.2-litre petrol engine.
Volkswagen will also launch a sedan version of the Polo. The Polo sedan which will be named after a wind will compete with the Honda City and is expected with Volkswagen and Audi’s state-of-the-art petrol and diesel engines. Volkswagen plan to sell 25,000 units of the saloon as well, which won’t be easy considering Honda City is the most famous saloon in the country.

Next year’s competition looks very good. Lets hope we get the famous 1.4 engine option also with this polo.

And also the 1.2l turbo charged engine in yeti!

Harshad, there will be quite a few engines for the Polo but I doubt any turbocharged petrols will make it to the line up. Next year there are going to be quite alot of launches in this segment with Toyota, Volkswagen and Honda making an entry into this segment.

Harshad, Germans are known to charge a bomb to their customers so don’t expect cheap servicing, LOL.
