To the point: The new Polo

The new Polo is one of the safest cars worldwide;
Polo’s TDI and TSI engines noticeably reduce fuel costs

Wolfsburg / Geneva, 02 March 2009 - No other car in this class has such a mature and high-end image as the new Polo. Comfort, quality and safety have all taken a considerable leap forward. One example: the Polo was specifically designed to attain the recently established, stricter and more comprehensive, 5-star EuroNCAP rating. The higher structural rigidity of the Polo’s bodyshell contributes to these results. In the footwell area alone, intrusion – related to the car body’s deformation strength in a frontal crash – was lowered by 50 percent! In the case of a side impact, the intrusion value was reduced by 20 percent.

Standard equipment for safety
In addition, the European version of the Polo now being presented is equipped with standard ESP electronic stabilization program with Hill Hold Control, and it has a highly effective network of airbags on board, including combined head-thorax airbags (integrated in the front seatbacks), 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 and Isofix child seat preparation.

Weight down, fuel consumption down
Despite significant improvements in all aspects of the car, it was possible to reduce the Polo’s body weight by 7.5 percent. The introduction of new TDI and TSI engines, as well as the 7-speed dual clutch transmission (DSG), has resulted in considerably reduced fuel consumption and emissions over a wide range of engine power outputs. An excellent example here is the new 1.2 TSI. This turbo-charged four-cylinder direct injection gasoline engine produces 77 kW / 105 PS, yet it consumes just 5.5 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers (129 g/km CO2); this is 19 percent less than on the equivalent model of the previous generation!

In total, seven different engines will be offered on the new Polo in its first year – four gasoline and three diesel – spanning a power range from 44 kW / 60 PS to 77 kW / 105 PS. Five of these engines are entirely new or are being used for the first time in the Polo.

The new engines include all three TDIs (turbo-diesel direct-injection); thanks to the implementation for the first time of common rail technology in the Polo, these engines are both efficient and refined. The potential in the new TDI engines is clearly evident in the example of the Polo 1.6 TDI with 66 kW / 90 PS: when combined with a "BlueMotion package", its average fuel consumption of 3.8 liters per 100 kilometers and 96 g/km CO2 makes it the most fuel efficient and lowest emitting five-seater diesel in the world. The "BlueMotion package" may be combined with any of the three equipment lines developed for the Polo. Available for selection here are the base version "Trendline", the mid-level "Comfortline" and the top of the line "Highline".

Individually combinable high-tech features
Options that Polo drivers will be able to order on their new Volkswagen include static turning lights integrated in the front fog lights, (from "Comfortline" up), side curtain airbags (head airbag system for front and rear passengers), radio and radio-navigation systems and integrated hands-free telephone systems. A panorama sunroof and bi-xenon headlights will follow at a later time.


Market launch starts the end of June
Start of production of the five-door Polo is scheduled for the end of March. This will be followed, starting in the last week in June, by the market launch of the visually and technically advanced new edition of the million unit bestseller in Germany. Just two weeks later, thanks to an ambitious logistics plan, Volkswagen will begin selling the car across mainland Europe, and soon Polo engines will be revving up across all continents.

Wow, looks quite good. Lot of styling ques from the big bro but it's better then expected.

[Whubbsie]

awesome looks great.... when will we see the 2door GTI version???

[RhysQ]

like i said in the other new gen Polo thread (one of about 5 ).... "i actually don't mind it.... i think it looks better than the VI Golf. The Golf is growing on me but ever so slowly.... but this amazingly has kept it's VW character. It doesn't look jap at all.... GTI is gonna look damn hot! Now that they have the actual shape out there, we will see some awesome renders of the GTI until it gets released. Any idea of GTI release Ben??

EDIT: Oh and hey, even the base models have the DSG gearbox...that's great new!

[JCM308]

Me likey

Can't wait to see what they'll do for the GTI

[Sharkie]

I think it looks great ......

BUT

I think from a performance perspective, the engines across the range are going to be "rubbish" ....

[Markybhoy]

I like the front, it's the best version of the front of a Polo yet I think. However, the back......hmmmmm. Someone said it looked like the back of the Corolla and I have to agree. It will be interesting to see how the 'GTI' version (if there is one!) will look.

I doubt if we'll see it until well into 2010.

EDIT: OOOOH, I've just noticed the arm rest!

You would think the GTI would get all of this standard, barr the sunroof and bi-xeonons right?

Awesome! I likey!!

[RhysQ]

EDIT: OOOOH, I've just noticed the arm rest!

Haha, they look like the e-bay ones. That's what VW have been doing for the last couple of years, buying all the armrests off e-bay... hehe.

My girlfriends Nissan Micra has a fold down armrest from the side of the drivers seat....now that's cool.

[Flaps]

Is this one made for men?
