VW Polo Vivo Xpress and Vivo GTS
VW South Africa has introduced an exclusive variant
of VW Polo Vivo. Dubbed as the VW
Polo Vivo Xpress, it targets the commercial segment and people looking for a
small, half ton delivery vehicle.
Based on the 1.4 Conceptline variant, the Vivo
Xpress was designed and developed locally by the Engineering Division in
Uitenhage. It gets steel wheels, remote central locking with alarm, air
conditioner, ABS, 15 mm raised suspension, load partitioning between driver and
cargo, and hard wood flooring in the loading area.
Customers can also opt for more premium features
such as cruise control, CD/Radio, 14-inch alloy wheels and rough road package
(front underbody guard and heavy duty shocks).
Based on the 1.4 Conceptline variant, the Xpress was
designed and developed locally by the Engineering Division in Uitenhage.
The Polo Vivo Xpress is powered by a 1.4-liter MPI
engine with 73 hp and 132 Nm of torque, which is sent to the front
wheels via a 5-speed manual gearbox. It has a 519 kg payload and 1,060 liters
of loading capacity.
Another new introduction in the 2016 model line is
the VW Polo Vivo GTS, which replaces the Polo Vivo GT. It features a back
painted roof and ORVM caps, 16-inch Rivazza wheels in grey metallic gloss
finish, sport pedal cluster, two-tone GTS side decals, carpets with black
piping and red contrast stitching.
