The Comfortline TSI AT is Rs 1.10 lakh more than its manual counterpart.
It’s the only Polo variant to get all three powertrains -- MPI, TSI MT, and TSI AT.
The Trendline and Comfortline in the metallic body paint will cost Rs 10,000 more than the prices mentioned above.
The Polo Comfortline TSI AT comes at a special price of Rs 8.34, valid through June.
Volkswagen has introduced a slushbox in the Comfortline for the first time, probably to up the appeal of this decade-old premium hatchback until its successor arrives.

It might miss out on some niceties like cruise control and steering-mounted audio controls. However, the Comfortline TSI AT does pack other features like a 7-inch Blaupunkt infotainment system, automatic climate control, remote locking, electronically adjustable ORVMs, and 15-inch dual-tone alloy wheels.
Passenger safety is taken care of by dual airbags, ABS with EBD, and rear parking sensors.

The Polo Comfortline TSI AT is available in five shades: Flash Red, Sunset Red, Candy White, Reflex Silver, and Carbon Steel.
No changes have been made under the hood. It continues to utilise the 110PS 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine paired with a 6-speed torque converter automatic.
With this update, the Polo Comfortline TSI has become one of the most affordable turbo-petrol hatchbacks with an automatic transmission. It rivals the AT variants of the Hyundai i20, Honda Jazz, Maruti Suzuki Baleno, and Toyota Glanza.
