Volkswagen Polo has been present in India for a couple of years in the Indian car market. This was the first volume segment car released by the German car maker in the Indian car market. Volkswagen Polo has been a volume puller car for the German car maker in India. Polo is a world class hatchback with attractive looks, its sleek design give a high to the hatchback. Apart from this the good driving dynamics and the high class interiors add on to the good stuff of the hatchback. Despite getting a good response in the domestic market, the sales of the hatchback has dropped in the last few months.
However, the model is offered in both petrol and diesel engine options, but it seems probably the Volkswagen Polo Price for the diesel version is playing spilt sport here. Customers now days are drifted towards competitively priced cars which return a good mileage and demand low maintenance cost and Polo is priced a little higher for the middle class customers. With so many options around in the hatchback segment, why would one spend so much money when they are getting the same thing at a much lower price..Â
 Agreed that there must be more features incorporated in Polo in comparison to its rivals but its competitors are still able to get more business that Polo. Rising petrol prices, high interest rates, high input costs and fluctuating excise duty etc are some of the reasons behind the slowdown in the market and amid such conditions if a car with a high price tag is proffered to the customers, they will definitely opt for a cheaper option available in the market.Â
Usually when a product does not perform well, the car maker comes up with the facelift version of the vehicle to offer something new to the customer which also helps in improving the sales of the vehicle. If we go by what the auto experts are speculating, the Polo hatchback is up for a facelift. This mid career makeover could help the hatchback overcome plummeting sales, but this could happen only if there is a change in the price of the hatchback. For that the car maker might have to exclude some of the features from the hatchback that will help in slashing the price of the hatchback.
Presently the hatchback is offered in petrol and diesel engine options which are mated to a five speed manual transmissions. Buzz has it that the vehicle will get a makeover in both exteriors and interiors front. On the exteriors front, the small car could get a set of new headlights and new alloy wheels which will give a neat look to the lower part of the hatchback. Interiors of the car could also get a brand new music system with Bluetooth connectivity and audio mounted controls. Apart from this an automatic version of the hatchback is also in the making. Demand for automatic version is increasing day by day therefore Volkswagen might be pondering to bring an automatic version of the hatchback soon.Â
