2017 VW Polo GT TDI to get 110 PS 1.5L TDI engine from Ameo - Report
Could launch before the end of this year or early next year.
ThrustZone has uploaded photos of what it claims is the VW Polo GT TDI with the upgraded 1.5L TDI turbodiesel engine from the Ameo. It could launch before the end of this year or early next year.
In the Ameo and Vento (recently introduced), the new 1.5L TDI engine produces 110 PS at 4,000 rpm and 250 Nm of torque at 1,500-3,000 rpm, thanks to a larger turbocharger. Unlike the two sedans, the Polo GT TDI may continue to not offer a 7-speed DSG as an option, leaving the 5-speed manual gearbox as the only transmission.
No exterior changes are seen in the model spotted. Being the range-topping diesel variant, it gets 15-inch 'Estrada' alloy wheels, flat-bottom steering wheel, 'Milan' Titanschwarz fabric upholstery, ambient lighting, Climatronic' automatic air-conditioning, rear parking sensors, and dual airbags.
