Volkswagen Polo GT TSI
Some might find the inclusion of the Polo GT TSI
in our list of the best cars in India below 10 lakhs surprising. However, for buyers looking for a fun to drive, small-car within a budget of 10 lakhs, there is nothing else on offer. One of the hottest hatchbacks on sale in India currently, the Polo GT TSI combines the standard car’s practicality with performance. It is powered by a 1.2-litre turbocharged TSI motor producing 103 bhp and 175 Nm of torque. That engine has been mated to VW‘s 7 speed DSG dual clutch ‘box and what you get is a car that is an absolute hoot to drive.
The last facelift also made the cabin a better place to be in. Build quality is top notch and the car rides well too hitting speeds of 150 km/h with ease. On the outside, there’s not much to differentiate the GT from the standard car except for a badge on the grille and a sticker on the C-pillar. The Polo GT TSI is a bit expensive and hence, doesn’t appeal to the masses.
