The Black Style package adds R10,000 to the base price of the Polo GTI, which currently starts at R585,800. That means buyers will pay R595,800 for the GTI equipped with this sleek appearance pack. The price also includes a three-year/45,000 km service plan and a three-year/120,000 km warranty, ensuring peace of mind for South African buyers.
What’s Included in the Black Style Package?
As the name suggests, the package focuses on enhancing the Polo GTI’s aggressive styling with darker accents. Key upgrades include:
- Gloss-black 18-inch alloy wheels (upgraded from the standard 17-inch ‘Milton Keynes’ wheels)
- Black roof finish
- Black wing mirror housings
- Privacy glass for rear passengers
These additions complement the Polo GTI’s already sporty stance, giving it a more premium, performance-focused appearance.
Powertrain & Performance
Built locally at VW’s Kariega plant in the Eastern Cape, the Polo GTI remains powered by Volkswagen’s proven EA888 2.0-litre, four-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine. In this application, it produces 147 kW and 320 Nm of torque, delivered to the front wheels through a six-speed DSG dual-clutch transmission.
Performance remains strong:
- 0-100 km/h in just 6.7 seconds
- Top speed of 238 km/h
The Black Style package doesn’t alter the mechanicals but enhances the Polo GTI’s road presence, making it an even more desirable hot hatch for South Africa’s performance car enthusiasts.
With its combination of German engineering, local production, stylish design upgrades, and proven performance, the 2025 VW Polo GTI Black Style is set to appeal to young buyers looking for exclusivity and everyday usability.
