The belly of the Indian car market, the hatchback segment where more
than a dozen models vie for the share of car buyers’ wallet, is getting very
active. Soon after Tata Motors launched an upgraded version of Tata Vista with
a 90 PS power option, Volkswagen India has launched the Polo SR (Sports Racer), a sporty
version of its popular car Polo.
The Polo SR comes equipped with the 1.2 litre MPI petrol engine (there
is no diesel option for this variant).The car produces 75 PS of power and comes
with manual transmission.
Equipped with Aero Sport package which includes front under skirting,
side under skirting, rear roof spoiler, chrome exhaust with rear under
skirtings, 15 inch alloy wheels, the Polo SR will be available to customers Rs. 6.27 lacs, ex showroom New Delhi.
Commenting on the introduction of the Sport Racer Arvind Saxena,
Managing Director, Volkswagen Passenger Cars said “The Polo is an important
carline in the Indian portfolio and we would like to continuously keep it
relevant and exciting for our customers. The Polo SR is a good choice for those
looking to own a sporty hatchback.”

The car is well loaded with new features as the Polo SR is equipped
with steering wheel controls with provisions for tilt and telescopic
adjustment, RCD 320 music system with USB connectivity, Bluetooth connectivity,
Climatronic AC, rear parking sensors, dual air bags, ABS, etc.
Some other features of Polo SR are: Fog lamps, front and rear, central locking

view mirror, height-adjustable driver's
seat, rear defogger and rear wiper, multi-function display includes open door
warning light, rear parking sensors, etc. Good to see so much action in the popular car segment and I am sure there are more to come.
