I believe the new Polo will come to India only if the sub-4m rule is scrapped. This was communicated personally by a top VW India official, in fact when the global VW chief came down to India to meet our Prime Minister, I believe one of the questions were "When are you going to take down the sub-4m tax rule?". The MQB A0 is spawning cars only in the INR 10 lakh+ category, there is no plan to use it for a smaller vehicle, at least for the VW brand. Current Polo, as it is widely reported, will get a facelift and feature update to meet the BS6 mandate and the GT TSI will get more visual differentiation. | |

| ![]() I dont think the current lot has Crash-test clearance as of now. So the cars they are testing will be the updated ones and should come out mostly this year itself. |

| ![]() It's like keeping up with the Kardashians when it comes to VW facelifts. I'm assuming this is the one to follow the Black and White edition. |

![]() I just called their sales folks asking about this and they said they don't have anything planned for Vento right now. However, upon more digging, they said they're working on a new Jetta model for next year. Like, wait, what? It could be the Virtus coming as the new Jetta. Great to hear it from the horse's mouth though ![]() | ||

| ![]() Thanks for sharing, much appreciated. One of the things that I've been repeatedly told by VW dealers is that Polo is going to get a rear view camera in this facelift. However, all of them denied Vento getting any facelift in the near future; time will tell. Do you happen to have any scoop on the timeframe when this facelift is expected to arrive? We're almost at mid 2019, and I'm wondering if I should stall my purchase for a couple of months and wait for the facelift, or simply go for it. |

But if it the petrol variant suggest you wait as the launch could happen in Sept-Oct. time frame. ( there should be the BSVI compliant engine) | |

The 1.0 TSI on Golf is not bad really, but I'm not sure what BS6 does to the performance. Thoughts? | |
