India’s new small car superhero – Polo GT TSI ‘Superdad’ TV commercial
The Polo GT TSI has recently been introduced to the Indian market, and now heads Volkswagen’s Polo 6R range in the country. Until the GT TSI’s arrival, the highest-performing Polo was powered by a 74bhp, 1.2-litre engine. The GT TSI meanwhile, packs a 104bhp punch, thanks to its turbocharged 1.2-litre engine, as seen in the UK’s Polo SEL. To herald the new car’s appearance, is this 45-second TV commercial, where a boy’s father is seen as ‘Superdad’, performing all sorts of seemingly mini-miracles. The spot plays on the GT TSI’s increased performance (its main selling aspect) to mildly humourous effect, tying in with the ‘Power beyond the ordinary’ tagline. The Polo GT TSI is priced at Rs 7.99 lakhs ex-showroom, Delhi, and includes features such as external ‘GT’ badging, 15” ‘Estrada’ alloy wheels, and a standard seven-speed DSG gearbox.
