Volkswagen has taken the Polo TSI Edition variant off their website in just two months of it being launched in India.
Volkswagen launched the BS6 Polo just sometime before the lockdown. However, the deliveries could not commence in March but later in June. The prices were definitely hiked because it got a new engine and gearbox options. In May, they also bought in the TSI Edition which was cheaper and more VFM.
Now, we can confirm that Volkswagen has stopped the bookings for Polo TSI Edition across the country. The Limited Edition variant has also been taken off their official website. Polo comes with two engines including its existing 1.0 Litre MPI and a new 1.0 Litre TSI. The latter is towards the costlier side.

Polo TSI Edition was the base variant for the turbo petrol engine which came with most of the features found in upper variants. Prior to that, the entry TSI variant was the Highline Plus which is priced for 8.02 Lakhs. The discontinued variant was cheaper by just Rs 13,000 but came with its exclusive badging.
The TSI Edition got a honeycomb grille, black ORVMs, black rear spoiler, body side graphics and the TSI branding on doors. Some of these cosmetic bits are directly seen on the GT variant and not even on the Highline Plus. We are not sure if the demand for this particular variant was higher than company’s expectation.
Polo TSI gets a 1.0 Litre three-cylinder turbo petrol engine that is good for 110 PS and 172 Nm of peak torque. Obviously, it is again the most powerful hatchback in India. This engine comes with the options of a 6-speed MT or a 6-speed AT. The MPI engine continues to produce 75 PS and comes with a 5-speed MT.
