2017 VW Polo (render)
Volkswagen is developing the sixth gen model due for launch next year.
Based on the latest information, auto-moto has created a rendering of the 2017
VW Polo.
The sixth generation VW Polo will be based on the Volkswagen
Group’s MQB A0 platform that will be utilised for the next-gen Seat Ibiza,
Skoda Fabia and Audi A1. The new Polo will be the smallest and least expensive
car from the Volkswagen Group to be underpinned by the MQB platform, and it
will be 20 cm longer and be 70 kg lighter.
It will be available only in 5-door form; the 3-door version is not
going to be renewed due to low sales. Even the GTi variant will be available
only in 5-door form. The all-new Polo, which will be bigger in length than the
current model, should be offered with an array of three- and four-cylinder
petrol and diesel engines with displacements ranging from 1.0- to 1.5-litre. It
remains to be seen if the GTI variant will continue offering the 1.8L TSI unit
or move back to a smaller 1.4L TSI unit with equivalent figures. Plug-in hybrid
and pure electric variants could also be offered.
Previous reports stated that the next-gen VW Polo will make its
world premiere at the 2017 Geneva Motor show, while auto motors speculated that
it would break cover at the 2017 IAA in September.
