The new-generation 2018 VW Polo will debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show this fall. The digital artist Kleber Silva has come up with a more distinctively styled proposal for the next Polo.

The rendered 2018 model draws inspiration from the Arteon. The sub-compact hatch gets a dynamic front end, highlighted by LED headlights, chrome trim, large air intakes, and muscular bonnet, along with a clean looking rear featuring a different taillight pattern.


The new Polo will utilize the VW Group's new MQB-A0 platform, shared with the latest Seat Ibiza. It will get an engine upgrade, as the 1.5-ltier TSI petrol units will replace the current 1.4-liter TSI. These will be joined by the 1-liter 3-cylinder petrol and probably by an updated 1.6-liter TDI diesel.

The VW Polo GTI will live on into the new generation, and it's believed to adopt the 2.0-liter TSI from the fifth-gen Golf GTI, with 197 hp available on tap.
