Volkswagen Announces 2015 Polo GTI Pricing for Germany
Pricing and Equipment Options
The entry-level price of €22,275 applies to the three-door Polo GTI equipped with a manual transmission. Customers who prefer a five-door version will pay an additional €800, bringing the total to €23,075. Volkswagen is offering several optional extras to allow buyers to tailor the car to their preferences. These include Titan Black Alcantara seat centres for €620, a panoramic sunroof for €890, and a navigation system for €500. The DSG dual-clutch automatic gearbox is also available as an option, though Volkswagen has not specified its price in this announcement.
| Model/Option | Price (EUR) |
|---|---|
| Three-door Polo GTI (manual) | €22,275 |
| Five-door Polo GTI (manual) | €23,075 |
| Titan Black Alcantara seats | €620 |
| Panoramic sunroof | €890 |
| Navigation system | €500 |
Standard equipment on the Polo GTI includes sports suspension, 17-inch alloy wheels, a distinctive body kit, and interior upgrades compared to the regular Polo. These features are designed to appeal to driving enthusiasts who want both performance and practicality in a compact hatchback. Buyers can further customise their car with a range of Volkswagen options, but the core package is focused on delivering a sporty driving experience.
Engine and Performance Upgrades
One of the most significant changes for the 2015 Polo GTI is the introduction of a new 1.8-litre TSI four-cylinder engine. This unit replaces the previous 1.4-litre engine, which used both turbocharging and supercharging. The new engine produces 192hp (141kW) and, when paired with the standard six-speed manual gearbox, delivers up to 320Nm of torque. These figures represent a notable increase in performance over the outgoing model.
The Polo GTI accelerates from 0 to 100km/h in 6.7 seconds and can reach a top speed of 236km/h. These numbers put the Polo GTI among the quicker options in the supermini segment, making it a strong contender for buyers seeking a compact car with genuine performance credentials. The six-speed manual gearbox is standard, while the DSG dual-clutch automatic transmission is available for those who prefer an automatic option. Volkswagen has not released official fuel consumption or CO2 emissions figures at this stage.
| Engine | 1.8-litre TSI, four-cylinder petrol |
|---|---|
| Power Output | 192hp (141kW) |
| Torque | 320Nm (manual) |
| 0-100km/h | 6.7 seconds |
| Top Speed | 236km/h |
| Transmission | 6-speed manual (standard), DSG (optional) |
Market Position and Availability
Volkswagen’s decision to price the Polo GTI below €23,000 for the base model positions it competitively within the hot hatch segment in Germany. The pricing strategy follows similar approaches taken with other Volkswagen performance models, such as the Golf GTI, which has also been positioned to attract enthusiasts looking for a blend of everyday usability and sporty driving. The updated Polo GTI is available to order immediately in Germany, with first deliveries expected in the early months of 2015. This launch offers buyers a new option in the competitive compact performance car market, with the latest updates in technology and engine performance from Volkswagen.
