Volkswagen Polo (2017) Updates

Wednesday, 28 August 2019 09:30 PM Volkswagen India will introduce the facelifted versions of the Polo and Vento on September 4, 2019. These models will get subtle cosmetic changes and feature upgrades to keep them fresh until the next generation models are launched. I think these updates will help maintain customer interest.

Friday, 16 August 2019 11:39 PM Volkswagen India has confirmed that they are considering the new-generation Polo for the Indian market, although it will be based on the MQB A0 IN platform and will come with some changes. The new 1-litre, three-cylinder MPI petrol engine will replace the 1.2-litre engine, offering better fuel efficiency of 18.78 kmpl compared to the older 16.47 kmpl. I think this move will make the Polo more competitive in the Indian market.

Friday, 16 August 2019 09:11 AM Volkswagen India discontinued the 1.2-litre 3-cylinder petrol engine in the Polo hatchback, replacing it with a more fuel-efficient 1-litre, three-cylinder MPI engine. The new engine offers the same horsepower but better fuel efficiency. Prices for the new 1-litre Polo will start at Rs 5.41 lakh (ex-showroom). I think this change will attract more budget-conscious buyers.

Tuesday, 05 December 2017 04:10 PM The rally-spec Volkswagen Polo GTI R5 was unveiled, designed for aspiring drivers and motorsport teams. The car will be homologated in the summer of 2018 and will make its competitive debut in the second half of 2018. This is a great move for Volkswagens motorsport ambitions.

Friday, 16 June 2017 07:45 PM The sixth-generation Volkswagen Polo was unveiled globally on June 16, 2017. The new Polo is larger than its predecessor and features a more evolutionary design. It also comes with a host of new features, including advanced safety and infotainment systems. I believe the new design will appeal to a wider audience.

Friday, 16 June 2017 05:50 AM Hours before its global debut, images of the sixth-generation Volkswagen Polo were leaked, showing the car in GTI and R-Line guises. The new Polo looks stylish and more evolved, with significant design changes. This leak generated a lot of excitement among car enthusiasts.

Friday, 16 June 2017 11:15 PM The new Volkswagen Polo will not be launched in India immediately, with buyers having to wait a few years for the popular premium hatchback. This decision is due to the current generation still performing well in the market. I believe this wait will be worth it given the significant upgrades expected.

Friday, 16 June 2017 03:11 PM The new Volkswagen Polo features advanced safety kit, including Front Assist autonomous emergency braking and post-collision braking. It also includes a Driver Alert System and lane assist to avoid accidents. These safety features have earned the Polo a five-star Euro NCAP rating. I believe these safety features are a significant selling point.

Friday, 16 June 2017 03:36 PM The infotainment system in the new Polo has been upgraded, with even entry-level models getting an eight-inch touchscreen and digital instrument display. The system includes Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, DAB radio, and Bluetooth. I think this upgrade enhances the overall driving experience.

Tuesday, 13 June 2017 11:38 AM Volkswagen teased the next generation Polo ahead of its reveal, giving a glimpse of the tail light and front grille. The sixth generation Polo grows in dimensions and gets a more evolutionary design language. I think the teaser did a great job in building anticipation.
