Test and update Volkswagen Polo 1.2 TSI GT


This is for the fans Test and update Volkswagen Polo 1.2 TSI GT. If you're wondering how the heck a 1.2 liter engine that will impress a passionate, digest this: Polo GT is powered by a turbocharged direct injection TSI petrol which develops a powerful 105 HP and 174 NM of torque, providing improved performance the discontinued 1.6-liter Polo. Those who swiped the Polo 1.2 is a low power and 1.6 died would both find comfort in the new Polo TSI.

It was not economically viable in the slot of the Polo 1.6 engine, especially with the government to do favors to have Excised. Volkswagen was forced to do so, especially with such low volumes. Although, for those who yearn for a real assault of performance, your prayers have been coming back. The German automaker is all set to display the famous 4-cylinder 1.2-liter TSI engine Polo. Coupled with the dual-clutch accelerator 7-speed DSG, the GT head TSI petrol Polo is a dream come true. We arrived at the wheel of the new Polo and unravel how hot it is.

This is an animation engine and gearbox combination. The maximum torque kicks in at 1400rpm down and publish it, the engine has a strong midrange. Also happily pull up its 6000 RPM redline, but it gets a little thrash after 5000rpm. Not as easy as, say, when Laura TSI engine rev hard.



However, there is a lot of fun to be had. Once this initial bit late (DSG did his best to hide it) there is a smile inducing growl and the car reaches 100kph in 11.34Sec reasonably fast, which is 0.28Sec faster than the Polo 1.6 (0-100kph in 11.62 Sec). The throttle response is quite linear and the car feels alive thanks to its maximum torque all the way from 1500rpm to 4100rpm.

However, the lack of pure movement is still felt, especially when you get to about 140kph, where the rate of acceleration is reduced. ARAI tested fuel efficiency figures for car VW is 17.2kpl.

There is also a new three start diesel engine, but the British does not buy many urban diesel, so we have the power only lower - 75 and 90 HP. This is a smooth runner and refined fuel needle seems magnetized to F. But in handling tight corners soaks in the view that the motor is no longer the essence for a bag and a half, cement weighs. Other gasoline engines are revised versions of what happened before, a pair of sweet three-cylinder 1.2, but not courage (60bhp, I wonder), and the familiar unblown 1.4.'



But back to the 1.2 TSi. It provides a six-speed manual, a little notch or seven-speed DSG fast action. I tried it on 17-inch wheels optional, you do not really like most of the corners. This is not a party, but it is miles away. Move and sometimes want firmer damping, but not critical.

This is a good and brave that the turbocharger has been betrayed just a response to the initial soft accelerator. Since then, it feels like a normal 1.6, but not much sense in accelerates hard, his best work comes in the middle range. Relaxing cruise on the sixth, and the Polo is a quiet car.

This improvement stems in part from an extremely rigid structure, which - unlike the low-profile tires on the test car - also allows a smooth ride. The electro-hydraulic steering feels more natural than some rivals electrical systems, and discussions Polo ordered in the corners with a lot of grip, tight body control, but not much in the form of interactive entertainment. Have too much power assisted brakes and feathers are difficult at first. ESP and start assist are standard on all new Polo.




The driving dynamics of the Polo have always been good, but the engine of the company has increased the stiffness of the suspension. This is because the engine is more powerful and has therefore been adjusted for better handling.

Polo TSI is certainly one of the best handling sedans, no wonder it is the same chassis used in the Polo and is driven by a number of more powerful engines. Push the pole through a series of curves and obey his orders to the address. Being a front-wheel drive, has a hint of understeer.

Hasten Apollo much road noise. They seize property, even when pushed with no sign of grinding so easily. The only thing we did not like the steering response because it does not weigh yourself high
