Volkswagen India has introduced an automatic transmission in the Polo Comfortline TSI at Rs 8.51 lakh (ex-showroom). At this price, the mid-spec Comfortline TSI AT undercuts the next-in-line Highline Plus AT by Rs 1.09 lakh. Here’s taking a closer look at all the variants in the Polo’s lineup: 

All prices, ex-showroom

• The Comfortline TSI AT is Rs 1.10 lakh more than its manual counterpart.

• It’s the only Polo variant to get all three powertrains -- MPI, TSI MT, and TSI AT. 

• The Trendline and Comfortline in the metallic body paint will cost Rs 10,000 more than the prices mentioned above. 

• The Polo Comfortline TSI AT comes at a special price of Rs 8.34, valid through June. 

Volkswagen has introduced a slushbox in the Comfortline for the first time, probably to up the appeal of this decade-old premium hatchback until its successor arrives.

It might miss out on some niceties like cruise control and steering-mounted audio controls. However, the Comfortline TSI AT does pack other features like a 7-inch Blaupunkt infotainment system, automatic climate control, remote locking, electronically adjustable ORVMs, and 15-inch dual-tone alloy wheels. 

Passenger safety is taken care of by dual airbags, ABS with EBD, and rear parking sensors.

The Polo Comfortline TSI AT is available in five shades: Flash Red, Sunset Red, Candy White, Reflex Silver, and Carbon Steel.

No changes have been made under the hood. It continues to utilise the 110PS 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine paired with a 6-speed torque converter automatic. 

With this update, the Polo Comfortline TSI has become one of the most affordable turbo-petrol hatchbacks with an automatic transmission. It rivals the AT variants of the Hyundai i20, Honda Jazz, Maruti Suzuki Baleno, and Toyota Glanza.
