The compact sedan will be exclusively designed for Indian markets and is most likely to come with a similar design to the Polo hatchback with an added boot. The new car should also be sharing its TSI and MPI 1.2 litre petrol engines and DSG seven speed transmission for top models with the Polo in addition to the 1.5 diesel engine. The sedan could get the revived Bora nomenclature in the Volkswagen lineup. The company had earlier invested INR 720 crore for increasing production and integrating new equipment at its Chakan plant. This was meant to aid the production of this compact sedan which should get a market launch in April, 2016 according to industry experts.

The Polo GTI is expected to be the fastest hatchback ever in India. This car will come with a 1.8 litre TSI petrol motor that dishes out 189 BHP. This car could hit the 100 kilometres per hour mark in a mere 7 seconds. The GTI could be sold globally with either a seven speed DSG or six speed manual gearbox. India should be getting the automatic version of this hot and powerful hatchback. This Polo variant will also come with a dual exhaust, bigger alloy wheels, novel body kit, sports seats, new steering and aluminum pedals.

The GTI should get a mid 2016 market launch and will be taking on the Abarth Punto. The Volkswagen compact sedan will be taking on the Maruti Suzuki Swift Dzire, Honda Amaze, Hyundai Xcent and Tata Bolt.
