Following its subtle 2022 refresh, has Volkswagen finally given the Polo GTI the edge it needs to tackle the Hyundai i20 N and Ford Fiesta ST?
No life to the chassis; tough damping brings little benefit
The Volkswagen Polo GTI has been given a subtle refresh for the 2022 model year alongside its lesser siblings, bringing with it updates to the styling and some interior interface elements. Like its predecessor, though, this supermini-sized hot hatchback has long found itself in something of a predicament. Typically a more sensible interpretation of the classic supermini, the Polo GTI has never quite been comfortable when transformed from its more humble origins.
Visually, this latest Polo GTI doesn’t get off to a great start, as aside from its new lighting units and bumpers, it’s hardly as arresting a sight as its rivals from Ford and Hyundai. It does have specific front and rear bumper assemblies, with trademark GTI design cues such as the honeycomb grille and red highlights, but even they struggle to lift the GTI above indistinct.
