Volkswagen Polo updated with new engines, handsome looks
Filed under: Budget, Hatchback, Volkswagen
![]() In America, Volkswagen's offerings don't get any smaller than the Golf (or Beetle, really). But elsewhere in the world, there are a host of smaller-than-that vehicles from VW, perhaps the best-known being the cute little Polo. And while there still aren't any plans to bring the Polo to our market (last we heard, anyway), the small hatchback has been given a number of updates that should keep it a popular choice for customers overseas. Design-wise, the new Polo is just as handsome as ever, with slightly modified styling that doesn't stray too far from its predecessor. LED headlights are now available up front, and buyers will have a choice of either 15-, 16- or 17-inch alloy wheels, depending on trim. Three engines are available, with seven different levels of power.Three engines are available, with seven (!) different levels of power. The two gasoline engines available are a 1.0-liter three-cylinder and a 1.2-liter inline-four, with four different power outputs that range from 59 to 109 horsepower. On the diesel side, only a 1.4-liter three-cylinder TDI engine is available, with three different tunes that provide anywhere from 74 to 103 hp. All of the available powerplants are mated to standard five- or six-speed manual gearboxes, and dual-clutch units are available, as well. On the road, the Polo should be a pretty spunky little thing, with electronically adjustable dampers, now available in the compact hatch for the first time. What's more, Volkswagen will offer electro-mechanical steering - similar to what's used on other VW products - as well as adaptive cruise control, city emergency braking, post-collision braking system, and a host of other safety features. Inside, it's your standard Volkswagen fare, with what look to be nicely finished materials, all organized in a clean, simple fashion. The company's latest radio and navigation systems are found in the center stack, and the climate control interface has been redesigned. It all looks lovely, and sure would be a nice addition to the US lineup. For now, we'll keep dreaming. Have a look at the full press blast below.Continue reading Volkswagen Polo updated with new engines, handsome looks Volkswagen Polo updated with new engines, handsome looks originally appeared on Autoblog on Tue, 28 Jan 2014 05:00:00 EST.
