Volkswagen Polo has been a very popular premium hatchback among driving enthusiasts in the Indian market. The production of the Polo commenced in India in 2009 .

The new Volkswagen Polo Legend Edition has been launched at Rs 10.69 lakh, ex-showroom, the same as its GT TSI variant. Mechanically, the Legend Edition of Polo remains identical to the GT TSI model. However, it gets some subtle cosmetic updates. For instance, it features ‘Legend’ badges on the side fenders & tailgate, a dual-tone paint scheme with a glossy black roof, black trunk garnish and new graphics on the body panels.
Engine : Powering the new Volkswagen Polo Legend Edition is the same 1.0-litre TSI motor that also powers its other variants. It develops 113 hp of maximum power and 175 Nm of peak torque. However, the engine comes mated to a 6-speed torque-converter automatic transmission only.
It is worth mentioning that only 700 units of this special farewell edition will be produced.
