Polo
Live confident. Drive confident.Striking design, uncompromising quality and an extensive range of equipment. That’s what you can expect from the dynamic Volkswagen Polo. Confidence designed to stand the test of time.
Volkswagen South Africa has been manufacturing cars in Uitenhage for the local market for 60 proud years. But the Polo isn’t just for South Africans. The Polo is exported to countries across
the globe. Truly world-class, the Polo fuses under-the-skin German engineering with expert South African production.
The confident look.Sculpted to perfection, the dynamic angles and sophisticated lines of the Polo speak a language of pure attitude and ambition. The Polo is bold, edgy and packed with sporty style. With a choice between the
Trendline, Comfortline, Highline and Cross ranges, there’s no wrong way to unleash your confidence.
The distinctive Polo grille has two horizontal middle panels, giving its
confident smirk an added touch of sophistication.
The design of the alloy wheels leave no question that sporty
attitude fused with design flair come standard on the Polo.
The lower grille has a sporty chrome strip that shoots across
longitudinally and cradles the front fog lights.
The signature tail lights are designed with elegantly-styled lines, which
complement the innovation and modern elements of the car.
Performance. Economy. TSI.How do you make a cleaner, more efficient engine without compromising
on the drive? Volkswagen has never failed to break new grounds and set
new standards and the Polo is no different. It incorporates the award-winning
TSI engine technology across all models so you’ll never have to choose
between performance and economy again. The TSI 1.2 litre engines offer
enhanced performance superior to many 1.6 litre engines, combining
innovative direct injection and turbocharging technology. These engines are
also smaller, lighter and have less impact on the environment by reducing
fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. All this, whilst keeping your drive
as powerful and pleasing as ever.
TDI.TDI identifies all our advanced diesel engines using direct injection and a turbocharger. TDI engines are economical and smooth with high levels of pulling power and good energy efficiency.
The great advantage of TDI engines is that they are very powerful, even at low revs, and economical across the entire speed range as they burn fuel more efficiently and produce more power.
This means better performance, with more pulling power than you would get from traditional fuel injection systems.
Polo BlueMotion.Stop-Start Technology saves fuel by switching off the engine when the vehicle is stopped and reduces the impact of your vehicle on the environment. The award-winning 1-litre, 70kW TSI
engines are smaller and lighter but still have maximum pulling power. There is zero fuel emission tax thanks to the many different energy-saving features such as reduced overall body mass,
low resistance rolling tyres and lowered suspension. All these features support Volkswagen’s greater fuel economy commitment to being kinder to the planet.

*Fuel consumption and CO2 emissions values were obtained in accordance with the prescribed uniform measuring standard (SANS 20101: 2006 / ECE R101: 2005 in its currently applicable version). The verified values do not apply to a specific vehicle and do not constitute part of the product offer. They are provided solely for the purposes of comparison between different vehicle models. Because of the need to maintain strict comparability of results achieved by the standard tests, they cannot be fully representative of real-life driving conditions. Variations in driving styles and in road, vehicle and ambient conditions, will have a bearing on the results achieved on the road. For these reasons consumption achieved on the road will not necessarily accord with these verified values.

You’re at your most confident when you’re in the comfort of your own space, and the interior of the Polo is
no exception. Although the Polo is a compact car, the inner capsule doesn’t compromise on quality or styling.
It’s refined with subtle nuances which make for a sportier interior compared to other vehicles in its class. The
new-generation multifunctional steering wheel, centre armrest, footwell lighting, silver console insert and
sports seats are standard on the Highline and make for superior comfort, to ensure that you’ll never want to
stop driving and remain in command.
Confidence comes from inside.
The Polo is ahead of its time when it comes to the interior. It’s a car that offers innovative, advanced
information systems, which come standard. But it doesn’t even stop there. This compact car offers a large
variety to choose from when it comes to on-board technology. So when you step inside the advanced Polo,
it’s like stepping into the future – a future you can get today.
Innovation at your fingertips.

Safe, secure and confident.
Park Distance Control enables effortless parking through rear sensors that alert you to obstacles behind you.
The Polo is one of the safest compact cars in the world, and easily outclasses its competitors with a 5-star Euro
NCAP safety rating. Its innovative safety features put not only the driver, but its passengers in one of the safest
vehicles in its class. Now that’s confidence.
This is thanks to improved impact resistance, crumple zones, standard ESP across the range, rear fog light,
high-level rear brake light and ISOFIX child seat mountings. The Polo also features an advanced airbag system
with four airbags and improved ABS with EBD (Electronic Brake-force Distribution).
The Tyre Pressure Monitor (standard on Highline and Cross) allows you to keep track of your tyre pressure so you can
be certain that you’ve got enough air in your tyres. Optimum tyre pressure makes for optimum safety on the road.
Hill-hold Assist keeps you steady on hills and inclines. No more clutch-control or rolling back!
The Multi-collision Braking System keeps you safer in an accident by slowing you down at the point of contact,
preventing a secondary collision.
Coming Home Lights (optional) are activated when you open your vehicle’s door. The number plate light, side
mirror lights and tail lights illuminate the way as you leave your car.
Low Beam Assist (optional) detects when it’s dark and automatically switches on the low beam headlights when
the headlight setting is set on “Auto”.
The advanced airbag system features two side airbags as well as driver and front passenger airbags with front passenger airbag deactivation.
Fatigue Detection (standard on Highline) detects irregular driving patterns and warns you when it’s time to take a break on a long drive.
The Electronic Stability Programme (ESP) intelligently controls the engine management system to help correct oversteer, understeer and loss of grip when turning.
In the event of a primary collision, the Multi-collision Braking System automatically activates, braking the vehicle and slowing it down to a defined minimum speed within the driving dynamic limits controlled by the ESC head unit, which can prevent subsequent crashes.

everyone to share its innovations. Only when a car creates technologies that break
new ground. Only when a car delivers a miracle of performance. Only when today’s car
