Volkswagen new Polo, for the first time available in natural gas version

Volkswagen presented the completely redesigned generation of this best-selling car. The new Polo features a clear, powerful design, much greater room, more efficient engines and pioneering driver assistance systems. Dr Herbert Diess, Chairman of the Volkswagen Brand Board of Management, said: “The Polo is a young, fresh car. It combines charisma with strong technology. No other car offers so much space for its size. This makes our Polo the number one compact car, and it will remain number one.”

For the first time, the Polo will be available with a natural gas engine – the newly developed 1.0 TGI with an output of 66 kW / 90 PS1. In addition, there will be a choice of four petrol and two diesel engines. Every engine with a power output of 70 kW1 or above can be combined with a dual clutch gearbox (DSG). In many parts of Europe the new Polo is due to launch before the year is out.

With more than 14 million units sold to date, the Polo is one of the world’s most successful compact cars. Including all different versions the Polo has even been sold over 16 million times worldwide. The sixth generation has a fully new exterior design, which makes the car – now as a rule with four doors – appear sportier and more grown up.

At the same time, the new Polo has been made bigger than its predecessor in every dimension. As a result, it offers more space for driver and passengers, plus significantly increased boot volume, which has gone up from 280 to 351 liters.
