Our take on this /// Verdict

The Volkswagen Polo Diesel AllStar Edition is a solid choice for those seeking a well-built and performance-oriented compact hatchback. The cars 1.5-liter diesel engine, producing 88.7 Bhp at 4200 rpm, offers robust performance, especially on highways, and pairs well with the 5-speed manual gearbox. The handling and stability of the Polo are commendable, with minimal body roll and a communicative steering system that makes it a joy to drive, whether in city traffic or on winding roads. However, the rear cabin space is a significant drawback, making it less practical for passengers in the back. Despite this, the Polos build quality, elegant interior design, and feature-rich cabin make it a compelling option for those who prioritize driving dynamics and a premium feel.

Price

The Volkswagen Polo Diesel AllStar Edition, during its time in the market, was priced competitively but with a premium tag. The ex-showroom price typically ranged around 8-10 lakhs, depending on the region and any local taxes. On-road prices would add another 1-2 lakhs, including registration, insurance, and other costs, bringing the total to around 9-12 lakhs. While this is on the higher side compared to some competitors, the Polos superior build quality, performance, and features justify the premium. However, potential buyers should also consider the higher costs of service and spares, which could impact the overall ownership experience.
