2018 Gti Polo

The Polo GTI is a good middle ground for Volkswagen's GTI line-up – sitting between the Up! GTI city slicker and the iconic Golf GTI.

The latest version of the supermini takes on the mantle of the Volkswagen's legendary sporty models for the fifth time – with this version the most advanced yet.

But what does the latest Polo GTI have to offer and what are its best features?

Punchy engine

The 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol develops an impressive 197bhp and 320Nm of torque – meaning relatively small car can reach 60mph from standstill in just 6.5 seconds and reach 147mph. That performance is comparative with its major rival – the Ford Fiesta ST – and the unit is paired to a six-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. That powertrain can also return good economy, with it able to achieve 47.9mpg.

Sporty bodykit

As it's a GTI, Volkswagen needed to give the Polo an aggressive makeover, and the German brand has given the supermini sharper front and rear bumpers, creases along the sides and bonnet, and a rear spoiler. You'll also find the GTI designation along the front grille and on the sides, as well as 17-inch alloy wheels and red brake callipers. Volkswagen has also lowered the suspension by 15mm so it hunkers down on the road for better cornering and stability at speed.

Advanced technology

This is the most forward-looking GTI model currently available as Volkswagen has fitted it with an electronic differential lock to offer more stability when cornering and lets you tackle a series of corners with confidence. But the futuristic feel continues inside, as the Polo GTI comes with the latest infotainment options from Volkswagen so you can connect your phone and stay up to date.

Safety systems are also an important part of the Polo GTI package, with front assist, pedestrian detection and the driver alert monitoring system all coming as standard. Customers can add the optional blind spot assist with rear traffic alert and adaptive cruise control for further security and comfort on the road.

Prices for the Volkswagen Polo GTI start from £21,140.
