Bigger and better than ever before, the charismatic new Polo is designed to meet the challenges of the modern world.
Advanced
safety features like standard Pedestrian Detection and Front Assist
with City Emergency Braking minimise your risk of an accident while the
optional Adaptive Cruise Control takes the stress out of long drives.
But it’s not just the advanced safety features that make the new Polo
the perfect car for everyday adventures – effortless smartphone
connectivity and high-quality audio calls make it easy for you to access
everything that matters to you.
“5* - It’s a brilliantly strong package” – WhatCar?
Don’t just take our word for it. Respected automotive experts at WhatCar have given the new Polo a glowing 5* review.
The Road to World Car journey concluded today at the New York International Auto Show with the declaration of the
Volkswagen Polo as the 2018 World Urban Car.
Taking the stress out of
unexpected situations, the new Polo keeps you safer than ever before. If
the Front Assist detects a possible collision, it lets you know with an
acoustic and visual warning and prepares the car for emergency braking.
If you don’t react, City Emergency Braking steps in to slow the car
down, with the aim of fully avoiding a collision or reducing its impact.
Better than eyes in the back of your head
Helping you react to whatever’s
going on around you, the optional Blind Spot Detection sensor provides a
handy LED display in your wing mirror whenever a vehicle enters your
blind spot.
And for when you’re done driving and are ready to
park, the optional Rear View Camera displays what’s behind the new Polo
on your dashboard Infotainment screen. It also overlays guidelines onto
the image, allowing you to easily judge your distance from obstacles.
Comfortable cruising
Busy motorway traffic means you
constantly have to react to other drivers. The new Polo makes your life a
little easier: at the touch of a button, the optional Adaptive Cruise
Control uses a radar to sense your distance from the vehicle ahead. The
system automatically brakes or accelerates to make sure you stay the
same distance from the vehicle in front - it can even bring your car to a
complete stop with the addition of the optional DSG dual clutch
gearbox.
As connected as you are
Navigation and entertainment at your fingertips
Life is about the journey, not the destination. The new Polo’s
sophisticated infotainment systems let you make every trip into an
adventure. Connect your smartphone to make crystal clear hands-free
calls, use the SatNav to discover new places in your local area, or
enjoy the latest music with a premium media system.
Stay connected
Thanks to Car-Net ‘App-Connect’,
your smartphone, your music, your messages, the internet, and selected
apps are available at
your fingertips. Simply connect your smartphone via USB to the
infotainment touch-screen and your phone integrates seamlessly into
your infotainment system allowing you to listen to your favorite music,
use your phone, view messages or check the latest news and
journey information. It’s that simple to stay connected on every trip.
Only available on compatible smartphones including iPhone 5 and above.
Take the scenic route
As well as helping you to avoid
congestion using live traffic data, you can use the Discover Navigation
system with a Car-Net Guide & Inform package to discover new
restaurants, attractions, and more. So the next time you’re free on a
sunny Sunday, why not hop in the car and see where the road takes you?
Discover Navigation is standard on the Polo SEL.
Looks as good as it sounds
With a gorgeous 20.3 cm (8 inch)
touchscreen with glass display, the Composition Media system is a
delight to use – simply touch the screen, just like your phone.
Featuring an SD card slot and playback for MP3 and WMA files, the six
rich-sounding speakers will be music to your ears.
The
Composition Media system includes a Bluetooth phone system for popular
mobile phone models and also features a USB connection.
Designed for living
Eye-catching, from any angle
The new Polo has had a modern, sporty facelift. With a fresh, clean
style and dynamic lines, it strikes the perfect balance between design
and function. With sports seats, high-gloss decorative trim in a variety
of colours, a black roof, sporty alloy wheels and a whole host of other
features, the optional design packages offer all the customisation
options you need to create your own unique Polo.
Not so small, but just as tough
Sometimes bigger is better.
That’s why the new Polo is longer, wider, and has an increased wheel
base. The result? Even more headroom and legroom for driver and
passengers alike.
An impressive 351 litres boot capacity means
that not only is there space for all your shopping - you can also pack
everything you need to head off on your next adventure.
As impressive on the inside as it is on the outside
Delight in the details.
Volkswagen’s signature “Tornado line” creates a clear contour that
sweeps around the new Polo, arching over the front side panels, gliding
along the standard four doors and curving around the rear. It entices
your eyes around the vehicle, conveying a dynamic sense of movement that
will keep you gazing for hours.
Lighting the way
When it comes to lighting the
way, the new Polo’s optional LED headlights and daytime running lights
shine bright. With a long life and creating a colour similar to
daylight, they improve visibility for you in adverse weather – and even
better, they’re energy saving.
Trims
Your new Polo, your way
Polo beats
If music is your life, you’ll be
eager to hear all about our Polo beats model, designed for those who
demand premium quality audio. The sound specialists at beats Electronic
have worked to tune six loudspeakers and a subwoofer to optimise sound
quality in the new Polo, so you can expect the same energetic and full
sound you enjoy with Beats headphones.
The Polo beats also boasts unique design features: the striking film
adhesive, exclusively designed for the Polo, based on the selected
paintwork colour.
Polo GTI
In contrast, the Polo GTI sports
characteristic insignia, including the honeycomb grille, red decorative
strips, red brake calipers, twin tail pipes, front and rear spoilers
along with the GTI lettering.
The interior continues the GTI look with a sports steering wheel
featuring decorative stitching as well as the typical GTI gear lever.
The Polo GTI exemplifies the GTI essence with its sporty handling and
exceptional design.
R-Line
Exciting, sporty and stylish,
the new Polo R-Line is no ordinary model. It has its own unique styling,
providing a level of specification that is fitting for a car of this
stature, adding to the excitement of driving this eye-catching car.
Thanks to the ‘R-Line’ exterior styling pack, it’s easy to recognise
this distinctive model, with its specially designed front and rear
bumpers and unique ‘C’ signature ‘Gloss Black’ front air intakes and
radiator grille. The unique ‘R-Line’ badging and striking 16 inch
‘Sebring’ Galvano Grey alloy wheels add the finishing touch, creating a
look that’s sleek, stylish and distinctively R-Line.
