2017 VW Polo makes global debut – (66 Photos and Videos)

2018 VW Polo has made global debut. The 6th generation Polo will be positioned on an MQB A0 platform making it both longer and wider than its earlier counterpart. Once launched in India, it will no longer be a Maruti Swift rival, but a Maruti Baleno rival.

Set to enter production later this month, the VW Polo will be initially produced from the company’s Spanish plant while production in South Africa will commence later. Following a similar design language as is seen on the Passat, VW Polo gets a longer wheelbase and hence interior space is at a premium while boot space is also enhanced.

New Polo is 4053 mm long, 7 mm shorter, and has a 94 mm longer wheelbase. VW says this makes the new Polo more spacious and stable to drive. Boot too has increased by 25%, and the space now stands at 351 liters. It is also 69 mm wider, thus making it the largest ever Polo.

New 2018 Polo is seen with split bumpers and converging full LED head lights. It also gets more prominent character lines, a roof mounted spoiler, new LED tail lamps and a redesigned rear bumper. The new 16 inch machined alloys, makes the new Polo even more attractive to look at.

It also gets 300 watts Beats audio system, panoramic sunroof, wireless charging port for smartphones, adaptive cruise control, six airbags, ABS, EBD, traction control, Park Assist, Pedestrian monitoring, Cruise control, Emergency Braking, Auto AC, etc
