The interior has a classic GTI feel. The height-adjustable sports seats are, of course, covered with the usual GTI checked cloth ("Interlagos" pattern). The seats provide safe side support on fast corners and offer refined comfort on long journeys. The well-designed, three-spoke sports steering wheel, which bears the GTI logo like the seats, has excellent grip. The red cross-stitching on the inside also makes it very appealing. One special GTI feature, the black three-point seat belts with red edging are another example of the attention to detail.
More sporty styling elements characterise the dynamic top model in this range. For example, special aluminium-look panels on the centre console and around the side vents give an elegant look and feel. The gearstick knob and gaiter (also featuring red cross-stitching) as well as the handbrake lever grip are covered in leather with a pleasant touch. The metal embossed shift pattern on the gearstick and the aluminium caps on the pedals also give an impression of high quality. GTI labelling on the door sills indicates the dynamic potential of this car as you climb in.
The five-seater Polo GTI is not just sporty, it is also suitable for everyday use. The boot has a volume of 270 litres and can be expanded in next to no time. The folding rear seat bench, which is split 60/40, expands the boot volume to up to 1,030 litres.
