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.
