Volkswagen Polo (spyshot)
There's a new-gen Polo coming our way and all things
point to be being more interesting than ever. The German
supermini will be much larger, according to a report published by AutoPista,
adding 20 cm to its total length.
The next-gen Polo will stand at
roughly 4.17 meters long, significantly more than the Golf Mk1, Mk2, Mk3 and
even Mk4, as the latter currently sits at 4.15 meters long.
Underpinned by the MQB platform, which is used by
numerous models made under the close watch of the Volkswagen Group, the 2018
Polo is believed to drop about 70 kg from its total weight.
The engine lineup will apparently kick off with a
1.0-liter TSI rated at 70 PS and will also include a new 1.5-liter TDI
diesel, which will replace the 1.6-liter TDI. Chances are the small hatch will
add a plug-in hybrid version too, while the most potent member of the family,
the Polo GTI, will apparently be powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged unit,
developing approximately 200 PS.
An adaptive suspension with electric control is
expected to be found on the options list, while inside, the subcompact model
should add a digital instrument cluster and a fresh infotainment system.
Volkswagen has yet to release the official reveal
date, but we could expect the next-gen Polo at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show.
