Recently, Volkswagen’s entry-level model in India, the Polo hatchback, made its transition to meet the stricter BS6 emission norms in the country. Priced from Rs 5.83 lakh onwards, the Polo gained an all-new 110hp, 1.0-litre three-cylinder TSI petrol engine in the transition. 
This new unit replaces the BS4 car’s 105hp, 1.2-litre four-cylinder TSI turbo-petrol engine that was mated to a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox only. In contrast, the BS6-compliant 1.0 TSI can be had with either a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed torque converter automatic gearbox. Apart from the 1.0 TSI, the BS6 Polo can also be had with a 76hp, 1.0-litre MPI petrol engine coupled with a 5-speed manual as standard. 
The upgrade to BS6 norms has seen the ARAI efficiency of the Polo 1.0 MPI drop by 1.03kpl, to 17.75kpl. Meanwhile, the Polo 1.0 TSI in manual guise is rated at 18.24kpl. While the 1.2-litre TSI with the 7-speed dual-clutch automatic had an efficiency figure of 17.21kpl, the mileage of the Polo 1.0 TSI with the 6-speed automatic has yet to be revealed.

Hyundai has teased a sportier N derivative of the all-new i20 premium hatchback. Expected to debut later this year, the hot hatchback made a brief appearance in a video of the standard hatchback followed by the words ‘to be continued’. What’s evident from the teaser is that the i20 N will wear larger alloy wheels, along with featuring a prominent roof-mounted spoiler and sporty side sills with red accents. It’s also safe to expect a different bumper design on both ends to give it a more aggressive look to go with its character. Expect the cabin to also feature sporty touches, while still carrying over most of the bits from the standard hatchback. On the mechanical front, the i20 N is expected to get lower to the ground, along with featuring stiffer suspension, uprated brakes and tweaks to the steering ratio to enhance handling. Under the hood, the N is expected to get a larger, more powerful engine as compared to the standard hatchback. The engine in question is likely to b...
