- Polo brings new dimension of quality to the light segment
- Three engines; TSI and Common Rail TDI in the Polo for the first time
- 4.6 litre fuel consumption and 121 g/km CO2 set new benchmark
- ESP is standard; significantly improved crash properties
Unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2009, the new Volkswagen Polo debuted with a fresh new look and
technology. This new Volkswagen is now entering the Australian market.
Standard equipment for safety
The Volkswagen Polo is equipped with standard ESP electronic stabilisation programme with Hill Start Assist,
and it has a highly effective network of airbags on board, including front, front side and side curtain airbags
(head airbag system for front and rear passengers), belt tensioners and belt force limiters plus seatbelt
warning indicator and head restraints that counteract the risk of whiplash injury (both front seats), three rear
head restraints with 3 point seatbelts for all passengers.
Models
Volkswagen has rearranged the line structure of its equipment lines since the previous model: “Trendline”
represents the entry level variant, and “Comfortline” refers to the upgraded equipment level. Convenience
features that are already standard features of the Polo Trendline include: electro-hydraulic power steering,
power windows in front, remote central locking, luggage compartment lighting and load restraining hooks, warning
buzzer headlight-on, height adjustment for driver’s seat and vanity mirrors in the sun visors. Meanwhile, black
cloth seat upholstery gives the interior a perceptibly high-end ambiance.
Fuel consumption down
Introduction of new TDI and TSI engines, and the 7-speed dual clutch transmission (DSG), has resulted in a
considerable improvement in fuel economy and reduced emissions over a wide range of engine power outputs. An
excellent example here is the new 1.2 TSI engine. This turbo-charged four-cylinder direct injection petrol engine
produces 77 kW, yet it consumes just 5.5 litres of fuel per 100 kilometres (128 g/km CO2); this is 24 per cent
less than the equivalent model of the previous generation.
Three engines for the Polo
In total, 3 engines will be offered – two petrol and one diesel. The 66TDI and 77TSI engines are being used
for the first time in the Polo.
