Facelifted Volkswagen Polo: India launch live

We are just a short while away from the launch of the facelifted Volkswagen Polo. The car was unveiled at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show in March and has since then has often been spotted on test in India.

The car gets a significant host of cosmetic changes both inside and outside to give it a more premium appeal. However, the major change is that the diesel versions of the facelifted Polo have been fitted with a new 1.5-litre engine. They continue to have the same outputs but are now expected to have a much higher efficiency.

Until the launch begins you can find more abou the facelifted Polo from our upcoming car section.

We have also managed to get our hand on the engine specifications of the new car and you can read about them here.

Our host for the event has now walked onto the stage and begun proceedings.
