Exterior

The Polo’s progressive lines reflect clear, elegant and sophisticated design. They have been refined and tweaked yet the basic architecture remains unmistakeable. It all adds up to a familiar confidence with a fresh edge that emphasises an even more dynamic character.

The Polo leads from the front with its confident frontal design. It features dynamic bumper and headlight designs, an impressive radiator grille with chrome strip and a distinctive lower air intake flanked by daytime driving lights. The Urban+ incorporates added functions of automatic headlights and additional front fog lights. Body-colour exterior mirrors and door handles complete a polished overall look.

Attractive tail lights are an eye-catching highlight at the rear, with each unit combining tail, brake, reversing light and turn indicators. BlueMotion Technology badging adorns the tailgate and a colour-keyed rear bumper design accentuates an exposed exhaust. And the integrated roof spoiler, side skirts and streamlined side mirrors complete the stylish, aerodynamic bodywork.

Individually designed wheels round out the Polo’s sporty appearance. Tosca 15-inch alloy wheels for the Urban and Portago 16-inch alloy wheels for the Urban+ add a high-quality finish.

But looks aren’t everything, of course, which is why the Polo’s eye catching design is backed up by first-class workmanship and top-quality materials.

Interior

You’re going to spend a lot of time inside your car, so it’s important that its interior is pleasing to the eye, comforting to the body and soothing to the nerves. It also needs to present all your car’s controls in logical, easy-to-understand and easy-to-operate fashion. Welcome to the Polo’s functional, driver-orientated layout with quick access to every major control.

From the supportive seats to the smallest details of trim and finish, including the leather steering wheel, everything is there for one reason and one reason only: your comfort and convenience. The Urban+ takes this a step further with comfort sport front seats with Alcantara® and leatherette# seat upholstery, climate control air conditioning and front centre armrest.

Polo’s infotainment offering features the Composition Media audio system as standard, with 6.5” touch screen display, Bluetooth® connectivity and Volkswagen’s newest innovation; App-Connect~. App-Connect uses Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™ and MirrorLink® software to seamlessly integrate your smartphone with the Polo and enabling access to a select range of smartphone applications. Available as part of the optional Driver Assistance Package on the Urban+ and GTI, the Discover Media audio and Satellite Navigation System, brings all the features of Composition Media plus satellite navigation, with 2D and 3D (bird’s eyes) map views.

Elsewhere in the cabin, clever design and functionality go hand in hand. The rear sear has an asymmetrical 40/60 split and both sides can be folded down, making the virtually level load space fully configurable to your requirements.

Highlights

Volkswagen’s far-sighted technology solutions ensure your Polo is comfortable, fun to drive and light on the hip pocket when it comes time to fill up.

The Polo‘s sprightly TSI petrol engines feature turbocharging for effortless performance and come with BlueMotion Technology, such as automatic Start/Stop system and brake energy recuperation, as standard.

The TSI engines are paired with impressive manual or Direct Shift Gearbox (DSG) enhanced by an electro-mechanical steering system that offers greater ease of control. The Polo has been safety in from the outset.

The Polo features an array of safety features that include, Multi-collision brake technology, Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Stabilisation Program (ESP), 6 airbags and safety optimised front head restraints. Thus, it should come as no surprise that the Polo has been awarded a maximum 5-star ANCAP safety rating. Other features, such as Rear View Camera (RVC) ,̂ standard across all Polo models, have been designed to make driving not only safer but also easier. This continues with the option of the Driver Assistance Packages available with Urban+. The Urban+ Driver Assistance Package features functional extras such as Front Assist with City Emergency Brake (City EB) ,̂ Adaptive Cruise Control^ and front and rear parking sensors.

Personalise your Polo to reflect your lifestyle and personality.

Polo GTI

The Polo GTI balances striking design with instant recognition. Every element of the GTI – from its signature GTI honeycomb air intakes and red brake calipers, to its classic tartan seats – has been designed to impress. Distinctive Parabolica 17" alloy wheels and a red-stitched leather steering wheel are additional Polo GTI hallmarks, while red headlight accents create a fresh sporty profile.

The Polo GTI’s exhilarating 1.8-litre TSI turbocharged engine delivers 141kW of power, pushing it from 0–100km/h in a mere 6.7 seconds. The Polo GTI's manual transmission offers the purist driver greater feel and control for the car, whilst the optional 7 speed Direct Shift Gearbox (DSG) entices with lightning-fast gear changes.

01 & 02. Polo GTI model shown with optional Driver Assistance Package and optional Luxury Package.

Several features work together to make the Polo even more exciting to drive. Extended Electronic Differential Lock (XDL) allows you to take corners with confidence, while the addition of Sport Select suspension as standard helps stiffens the vehicle’s suspension (via electronically adjustable dampers) and alters the steering weight, accelerator response and sound actuator to produce a driving experience nothing short of enthralling.

Multi-collision brake is another valuable inclusion. It ensures controlled braking of the vehicle after a collision in order to reduce the risk of possible follow-on accidents.

Rear View Camera (RVC)^ makes parking the Polo GTI in tight spaces a breeze. The Polo GTI also features Volkswagen's new App-Connect~ USB interface that seamlessly integrates a select range of smartphone applications with the car using Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™ or MirrorLink® technology.

Bring your personality to the fore and make your Polo GTI uniquely yours with the optional Driver Assistance package and Luxury package.

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)*Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is an extension of the conventional cruise control system

with advanced capabilities based on a radar sensor. When ACC is activated, the vehicle

automatically brakes and accelerates to a speed and distance set by the driver.

If the Polo approaches a slower vehicle, the ACC brakes the car to the same speed and

maintains the pre-selected distance. Even when a vehicle pulls into the same lane in front

of you or slows, your vehicle is automatically decelerated to the pre-selected distance. If

the vehicle ahead moves out of your lane, the Polo then accelerates up to the preset desired

speed.

Deceleration of the vehicle may take place via intervention in the engine management system.

If deceleration via engine torque is not sufficient, brake intervention takes place, braking

the vehicle to a standstill if the traffic situation necessitates in vehicles equipped with a

DSG transmission. In vehicles fitted with a manual transmission, the system is automatically

deactivated at speeds below 30 km/h and the driver is prompted to take charge by visual and

acoustic signals.

The distance to the vehicle in front can be pre-set in the car menu of the Composition Colour

audio system and individually varied via the multi-function steering wheel. The status of the

ACC system can be viewed in driver assistance systems menu in the Multi-Function Display

(MFD Plus).

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) cannot replace the driver’s attentiveness. The driver is still legally responsible for the vehicle and must monitor the speed and distance in relation to other vehicles. The ACC system should not be used on winding roads or in adverse weather conditions such as heavy rain.

Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)When braking, wheel speed sensors measure the road wheel speed and should one or more

wheels start to lock the ABS system reduces brake pressure to that wheel. This prevents

the wheels from locking during heavy or emergency braking, enabling the vehicle to remain

steerable.

Anti-Slip Regulation (ASR)ASR is a traction control system that prevents the driven wheels from spinning under

acceleration by reducing engine torque. It is active at speeds above 40km/h.

Brake AssistDuring emergency braking, Brake Assist aids the driver by increasing the brake pressure

automatically to a level exceeding the locking limit. The ABS is thus quickly brought into the

operating range, which enables maximum vehicle deceleration to be achieved.

Direct Shift Gearbox (DSG)DSG is a manual gearbox in which the gearshifts are controlled electronically. What makes the

DSG unique is that it has 2 separate gear sets operated by 2 clutches.

The benefit of 2 gear sets and 2 clutches is that one gear set and clutch is engaged driving

the vehicle with the second disengaged clutch having already pre-selected the next gear

awaiting for power to be transferred. As the next gear has already been pre-selected prior to

power being applied, the gear change only takes 3-4 100ths of a second. There is virtually no

interruption to power, traction or acceleration.

The DSG also offers Tiptronic gear selection and sports mode.

Electronic Brake-pressure Distribution (EBD)Electronic, more sophisticated means of regulating the ratio of front/rear brake pressure.

Settings are varied according to driving and load conditions to ensure each wheel is braked to

the optimum extent.

Electronic Differential Lock (EDL)EDL improves driving and steering characteristics when accelerating on road surfaces where

each wheel has a different degree of traction. The system operates automatically and is

combined with the ABS system. Using the ABS wheel sensors, EDL monitors the speed of the

individual driving wheels. When a difference in driving wheel speed is detected (i.e. when one

wheel starts to spin due to differences in road surfaces, e.g. due to water or dirt) the system

brakes the spinning wheel, transferring engine power to the wheel with the best traction. EDL

is active in forward and reverse and operates up to 40km/h.

Electronic Stabilisation Program (ESP)ABS and ASR traction control systems are integrated into the Electronic Stabilisation Program

(ESP). In short, ESP helps ensure that the vehicle goes where you steer it even in extreme

driving conditions. The ESP system constantly compares the actual movement of the vehicle

with pre-determined values and should a situation arise where the vehicle starts to skid, ESP

will apply the brakes to individual wheels and automatically adjust the engine’s power output

to correct the problem. ESP prevents the vehicle from losing control when trying to avoid an

accident, for example. It also reduces the effects of understeer or oversteer.

Extended Electronic Differential Lock (XDL)^XDL is an extension of the Electronic Differential Lock (EDL) function. When cornering, XDL

responds to the load relief at the front wheel on the inside of a corner. The ESP hydraulics are

used for the XDL to apply pressure to the wheel on the inside of the corner in order to prevent

wheel spin. This improves traction and reduces the tendency to understeer. As a direct result

of the one-sided and precise braking pressure, cornering is sportier and more accurate.

Fatigue Detection*^The driver Fatigue Detection system automatically analyses the driving

characteristics and if they indicate possible fatigue, recommends that the driver

takes a break. The system continually evaluates steering wheel movements along

with other signals in the vehicle on motorways and others roads at speeds in

excess of 65 km/h, and calculates a fatigue estimate. If fatigue is detected, the

driver is warned by information in the Multi-function Display and an acoustic

signal. The warning is repeated after 15 minutes if the driver has not taken a break.

Fatigue Detection cannot replace the driver’s attentiveness. The driver is still legally responsible for the vehicle and therefore determining whether or not they are fit to drive. A driving time of 15 minutes is required in order to assess the driver correctly. The functionality of the system is restricted given a sporty driving style, winding roads and poor road surfaces.

Front Assist with City Emergency Brake (City EB) function*The Front Assist ambient traffic monitoring system uses a radar sensor to detect

critical distance situations and thus help to shorten the braking distance, reducing

the risk of a rear-end collision.

The traffic ahead is monitored constantly by the radar at the front. If a vehicle is

detected ahead of you in the lane, the distance and the speed relative to it are

calculated. If the gap is closing too fast, Front Assist initially warns the driver by

means of an audible as well as a visual signal. At the same time, the brake pads

are brought into contact with the brake discs and the sensitivity of the Brake

Assist is increased. This primes the braking system for a possible emergency stop.

Furthermore, an automatic jolt of the brakes warns the driver of the danger. If

the driver also fails to react to the warning jolt, Front Assist brakes automatically,

helping to avoid a collision or reduce the severity of the accident.

The City Emergency Brake (City EB) function is a radar based emergency braking

system designed to help a driver avoid a low-speed crash or to reduce its severity.

At vehicle speeds below 30km/h, City EB monitors the area ahead of the car

for vehicles which might present a threat of collision. If a collision is likely, City

Emergency Braking first pre-charges the brakes and makes the emergency Brake

Assist system more sensitive: if the driver should notice the risk, the car is ready to

respond more quickly to their braking action. However, if the driver still takes no

action and a collision becomes imminent, City Emergency Braking independently

applies the brakes very hard. If the driver intervenes to try to avoid the accident,

either by accelerating hard or by steering, City EB will deactivate and allow the

driver to complete the avoidance manoeuvre.

Front Assist with City Emergency Brake (City EB) cannot replace the driver’s attentiveness. The driver is still legally responsible for the vehicle and must monitor the speed and distance in relation to other vehicles.

Multi-collision brakeThe multi-collision brake has been designed to provide effective assistance for the

driver in the moments after an accident. Multi-collision brake triggers automatic

controlled braking once an initial collision has been detected so as to reduce the

intensity of further accidents after a collision and can help prevent follow-on

collisions with oncoming traffic.

The triggering of the multi-collision brake is based on a collision being detected by

the airbag sensors. The ESP control unit limits the deceleration of the vehicle by

the multi-collision brake to a defined value and vehicle speed. The vehicle can still

be controlled by the driver, even when automatic braking is taking place. The driver

can interrupt the multi-collision braking at any time by accelerating or braking

even more strongly.

Hill Start AssistHill Start Assist (HSA) holds the vehicle when the foot brake is released by

temporarily locking the brake pressure (for a maximum of 1.5 seconds) to provide

comfortable starting-off without rolling back. Hill Start Assist (HSA) operates on

inclines greater than 5% and is fitted in combination with manual transmissions

and the Direct Shift Gearbox (DSG).

Sport Select suspension including Sport Performance Kit^The Sport Select suspension system features electronically adjustable dampers.

When the driver presses the 'Sport' button (in the upper area of the centre console)

an electro-mechanical switching valve in the dampers is activated which alters

their tuning from a sporty yet comfort oriented standard setting to the firmer

characteristic of a true sports suspension. In addition, the 'Sport Performance Kit'

provides the electro-mechanical power steering system with a sportier feel and

the accelerator pedal with a faster response. At the same time, the engine note

heard inside the vehicle is enhanced due to the sound actuator. Additionally, if

equipped with the 7 speed Direct Shift Gearbox (DSG), the transmission changes

automatically from D to S (Sport) mode.
