The Polo GTI. Three letters that make a difference.
These days, these three letters don’t need explaining to anyone. GTI means fun, pure and simple. And in this case, GTI means big car perfomance in a small car package. The Polo GTI.

The Polo GT = style and performance in one
Iconic GTI design
Surround yourself in the feel of the GTI that continues in the vehicle interior, including decorative stitching on the steering wheel and floor mats, as well as the checked "Clark" seat covers.
After all, you want to see well and look good
ighting the way, in more ways than one: the LED headlights with cornering lighting and the fog lights look good at the same time as increasing good visibility.
A multitude of features to keep you moving
Whether it's the range of safety and assistance programmes or the sports suspension with driving profile selections, the Polo GTI is sure to please.
Performance
200 HP
The 200 most important reasons why you need a Polo GTI
With a huge 147 kW, the engine proudly hits the 200 HP mark. That’s enough to accelerate the compact athlete from 0 to 100 in 6.7 seconds. What's more, the TSI engine achieves an unprecedented level of tractive power, even at low engine speeds. Driving doesn’t get more fun than this – and we haven't even come to the XDS differential lock yet.
XDS Differential Lock
Do you love driving round corners? Your Polo GTI does, too
The standard XDS electronic differential lock reduces the vehicle's tendency to understeer. Now nothing gets in the way of a sporty approach to cornering.
Driving porfile selection
The Polo GTI adapts to your driving style
The driving profile selection function allows you to adjust to your driving style. Dynamic for every journey, if you're feeling sporty, simply select the driving profile with the press of a button. Experience your steering response and even the gear-shift points adjust automatically. Whatever your mood, you set the tone with a range of driving styles.
- Eco: For fuel-efficient driving
- Normal: For normal driving comfort
- Sport: For a sporty driving experience
- Individual: For individual settings
Start-stop system with brake energy recuperation
Slow down on the spending
The start-stop system saves fuel by switching off the engine when the vehicle is stationary. Like when it’s at a red traffic light. All you have to do is take your foot off the clutch. When the lights go green, engage the clutch again and the engine will start back up. Just as simple and efficient: brake energy recuperation. This function uses an alternator to generate energy when you apply the brake or coast. This energy is then stored in the battery.
Features & Design
A GTI can be recognised from afar - thanks to its characteristic GTI features, combined with its progressive design. The latter includes the red trim, honeycomb-shaped ventilation grille, red brake calipers and dynamic alloy wheels.
GTI design
With a look to match its performance
You won’t need to tell anyone that you’re driving a Polo GTI. They’ll already know just from looking at its red trim strips, the hallmark honeycomb ventilation grille, red brake calipers and the striking sporty wheels.
And when they climb aboard they’ll know for sure thanks to the GTI-inspired interior design with un-mistakeable check-pattern seats.
Lights
A true highlight
The expressive LED headlights with a design that incorporates the hallmark red GTI line.
And anyone who sees the Polo GTI from behind (a scenario that is pretty likely) will love the standard dark red LED tail light clusters.
Wheels
Dynamic, even when they aren’t moving
Striking and confident: the standard 17-inch “Milton Keynes” wheels.
Or perhaps you’d prefer the next size up? The sporty and bold design of the optional 18-inch “Brescia” alloy wheels leave plenty of space for a unique highlight: the red brake calipers.

Safety
Front Assist with City Emergency Braking
A moment of shock? Not in your Polo
The standard Front Assist with city emergency braking can warn you in the event of critical situations, support you with braking or even automatically apply the brake in an emergency.
Blind Spot Monitor and Rear Traffic Alert
Your Polo can look over your shoulder for you The Blind Spot Monitor warns you
The Blind Spot Monitor warns you about vehicles in your blind spot using an LED indicator in the exterior mirror.1 And if you still attempt to change lanes despite the warning, it starts to flash to attract more attention. The integrated Rear Traffic Alert warn you if any vehicles start to approach when you are reversing out of a parking space. If you fail to respond to its warning, the system can "prevent" a collision by applying the brake.
Rear View Camera
A forward-looking way to reverse
The “Rear View” camera enables you to keep an eye on your surroundings when reversing: the area behind the vehicle covered by the camera is displayed on the display of your Infotainment system. “Rear View” also superimposes guidelines onto the image, which can help you to judge the distance correctly.
