Expected standard equipment include dual front airbags, curtain airbags, ABS+EBD, ESC, ASR (Traction Control), Automatic Climate Control, cruise control, hill hold, touchscreen infotainment system with bluetooth telephony and navigation, 6 speakers and so on. The Polo GTI will ride on 17 inch wheels. Unlike the regular Polo, the GTI variant is not manufactured/assembled in India, and hence will come with a hefty price tag.
