Inside, the Polo facelift gets a new sporty steering with audio and phone controls. The piano black finish gives the steering a more premium appeal. The matte silver finish on the centre console also adds to the premium look. The instrument cluster seems to be borrowed from the current Polo and facelift will not get the 3D-effect dials available in the international variant.

The launch is expected to happen on the 16th of July and will be available in regular and GT variants. The Cross Polo could be launched after a couple of months.
