The Polo has always stood tall among its peers as an exponent of sophisticated European design, capable handling and a tastefully-appointed interior. Those with an evolved taste in automobiles have appreciated the car for its qualities, and it has sold in decent numbers, too. Till now the Polo was available with a 1.2-litre, three-pot diesel engine, which though frugal and fun beyond 2,000 revs, wasn’t exactly very linear and suitable for everyday use. The 2014 facelift version of the globally-acclaimed car, however, addresses this issue with a new 1.5-litre TDI (Turbocharged Direct Injection) engine, which is not only more powerful, but also more drivable and versatile. Complementing the heart transplant on the Polo is a whole bunch of design and feature related changes which further bolster the value proposition of the car. Here’s why the new Polo is so much better than the version it replaces.
