New Polo Performance
From the sculpted, aerodynamic lines on the exterior to the sporty, three-spoke steering wheel on the interior and the new generation engines under the bonnet, every aspect of the New Polo seems custom-designed for a sensational driving experience. Get behind the wheel and you’ll discover why the New Polo is the car you’ll never want to stop driving.
New generation multi-valve petrol and common-rail diesel engines not only offer lower fuel consumption and reduced emissions, but also deliver outstanding performance and a truly sporty drive. Unlike previous generation diesel engines, common-rail diesel injection uses a high-pressure pump which pressurises the fuel in a tube (the common rail), which then, in turn, supplies each computer-controlled injector.
The 16-valve petrol engines are available in 1.4 and 1.6 derivatives.
The 5-speed manual gearbox transmits power with short, accurate shifts and easy handling, making shifting gears seamlessly smooth.
The sporty 6-speed Tiptronic gearboxes are perfectly matched to the engines of the New Polo. The ability to select any gear “manually” in addition to all the benefits of an automatic gearbox, highlights the sense of comfort and luxury combined with class-leading dynamics that permeates the New Polo.
