The new Polo, which is now the fifth generation, communicates particularly high value and quality, which, together with unlimited everyday usability and great economy, sets the benchmark in this class.
The new design is shaped by a unique clarity and straightforwardness. Its form and lines convey the precision and quality for which Volkswagen stands.
The ESP electronic stability programme with hill start assist will come as standard in many European countries.
The combined head-thorax airbags in conjunction with the driver and front passenger airbags have been added to the standard equipment and ensure a high level of passive safety.
The new turbo diesel engines using common rail technology, the TSI engines and the 7-speed dual clutch gearbox all allow dramatic cuts in consumption and emissions values across the output levels.
The new Polo 2010 — high-quality and dynamic — the standard in its class.
