Features of the car's appearance

The exterior has undergone minor changes, but despite this, the care and precision of German designers can be clearly seen here.

Attention is also drawn to the completely different head lighting equipment, which can optionally have LEDs and bi-xenons. The designers made minor modifications to the hood cover, more clearly expressing the ribs on it.

• More powerful head lighting equipment;
• Front bi-xenon lights;
• Running gear daytime lights from LEDs;
• Front lighting washers;
• "Fog lights";
• Front parking sensors;

I would also like to mention the presence in the initial version of such equipment as:

• Adaptation of the car to different climatic temperatures;
• Reinforced suspension for poor-quality road surfaces;
• Navigation system;
• Electric windows;
• Front airbags;

Of course, as the equipment increases, the price will also increase.

New technical equipment

With such an engine, the Polo 2017 will be able to accelerate to the first hundred in 12 seconds. Peak speed occurs at 180 km/h. Fuel consumption is 6.4 liters per mixed cycle.

Regarding the price tag new car we can say that it will be approximately 550,000 rubles, but for this price the buyer will receive a fairly rich list of equipment.

Considering all of the above, it is not at all surprising that VW Polo from the first days on Russian market demonstrates enough high performance sales and occupies the top position in the ranking of the most popular sedans of the European class “B”. All the innovations that have occurred as part of the restyling will make this model even more popular.

In the middle of summer 2015, the updated Volkswagen Polo sedan arrived on the Russian markets. This car has already become a flagship and one of the most purchased cars on the market, and the update only added to its popularity.

Restyling affected the interior and exterior of the car. In addition, many updates have been added and technical solutions. Buyers Volkswagen Polo They can choose many different functions and customize the car exclusively for themselves. It is worth noting that for the domestic market, the car is produced at a plant in the city of Kaluga. Immediately after restyling, the plant began production updated models Polo.

The ideal car for the Russian market

The German company, even before the release of the Volkswagen Polo sedan, announced that it was preparing a car exclusively for the Russian market. Already in 2010, Russian motorists saw the new Volkswagen Polo and had the opportunity to purchase it.

Volkswagen Polo sedan- This perfect car for the Russian market. It has excellent cross-country ability, is resistant to the changing harsh climate of the country and, most importantly, behaves very balanced and “Smooth” in bad conditions. road surface. The Polo's body is resistant to corrosion, the engine is quite powerful and completely unpretentious. Besides, to a Russian motorist I will also like the price of the car. Despite his modern equipment and a modern appearance, the price of the Volkswagen Polo is very pleasant.

Be that as it may, despite the fact that the machine is designed specifically for Russian conditions operation, it has gained popularity in many countries around the world.

Changing the appearance of the Volkswagen Polo sedan

At first glance, the silhouette updated Volkswagen The Polo sedan has undergone almost no changes. However, if you look closely, you will notice more aggressiveness, modernity and ergonomics. The Germans added relief to the hood and changed the shape of the bumpers and radiator grille. In addition, Volkswagen's optics have been completely redesigned. Headlights and tail lights completely changed their appearance and became more modern and stylish.

There is also an opportunity to buy a car not with 14, but with 15 inches alloy wheels. This purchase is available only in maximum Volkswagen versions Polo sedan. The updated wheels on this version are more aggressive and attractive.

Experts noted that the updated version of the Polo car has become more similar to the Passat. This is true. By borrowing some body elements from the Passat, German designers managed to make the VW Polo sedan more discreet, mature and respectable.

As for the rest, there are no more changes in the exterior of the Volkswagen Polo. Trunk volume, dimensions, ground clearance remained unchanged.

Changing the interior of the car

The interior of the car has not been altered much, but the main changes are immediately noticeable. The first thing to note is the redesigned steering wheel. The rim now has three spokes and is more “stuffed” with controls. As stated by the Volkswagen Polo manufacturers, the updated steering wheel is much more comfortable and better than the previous one. It makes it much easier to control your car.

The center console itself has also changed. Its appearance has changed a little and now, the most expensive version uses a chrome edging. In addition, many functions have been added to the standard console set that were previously installed exclusively for an additional fee.

Several variations of interior upholstery have also been added. New colors and fabrics have appeared. Otherwise there are no changes. The interior of the Volkswagen Polo has remained comfortable, ergonomic and understandable for the driver. There is nothing superfluous and the same good visibility that was present on previous Polo models remains.

Disadvantages that appeared when updating the interior:

• The rear sofa has become smaller. The developers of the Volkswagen Polo, when creating the new rear sofa, stated that it could comfortably accommodate three people. Tests show that only two people can sit there comfortably;
• IN updated version Volkswagen Polo began to use cheap materials when decorating the interior. Perhaps the interior began to look more beautiful, but cheap upholstery and plastics were used in its creation.

Be that as it may, one cannot judge these shortcomings strictly. The fact is that the update developers had to improve the car and make sure that it did not become very expensive. That is, keep it budget and affordable car. The Germans understood that by using expensive materials, the car would become unaffordable for ordinary people on the Russian market. It is worth noting that the motorists themselves were satisfied with the Volkswagen Polo update.

Engine and transmission

There are no changes to the engine and gearbox of the Volkswagen Polo. According to these parameters, the car is fully consistent with the previous model. As before, there are two motors to choose from. Both have a volume of 1.6 liters, but one has a capacity of 85 Horse power, and the other has 105.

The 85 horsepower engine is controlled via a 5-gear manual transmission. Acceleration to 100 kilometers per hour with this engine is 11.9 seconds. The unit is quite economical and consumes 6.4 liters of fuel in mixed mode.

More powerful engine in the Volkswagen Polo, it is forced and is more playful in acceleration. It can be equipped with either a 5-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic. If installed manual transmission gears, the car will accelerate to 100 km per hour in 10.5 seconds. Automatic transmission will allow for a similar acceleration in 12.1 seconds. A forced engine consumes 7 liters of fuel per 100 km in mixed mode.
