June 19, 2017: Volkswagen has showcased the 2018 Polo. It's the next generation car with new MQB A0 platform that's longer, wider and has a bigger wheelbase. The 94mm of extra wheelbase should bless the new Polo with more legroom. Power output for the new Polo will range from 65PS to 150PS while the GTI will get a 2.0-litre TSI motor with 200PS on tap. A new 90PS turbocharged 1.0-litre CNG engine will also come with the car and it may become the base engine for the car in India. new features of the Polo include LED headlights, adaptive cruise control, blind spot monitoring, rear cross traffic alert, LCD instrument control, panoramic sunroof and semi-autonomous park assist. However, many of these may not make it to India.

German cars have enticed me always for the highly impressive build, simple designs and flawless performance. The ergonomics and driving comfort in the car is at par. The only downside of the car is its high maintenance nature. Read More

The new Polo is a very fine example of how to move forward and yet not lose yourself in the crowd. The car has been updated regularly to keep it in contention and improve its desirability.
The Polo now comes with a 1.2 litre petrol motor and 1.5 litre diesel. The 1.2 litre petrol motor pumps 75 PS of power and 110 Nm of torque. It promises a fuel economy of 16.47 km/l. The 1.5 litre diesel engine is a brand new motor developed by VW. It has a peak power output of 90 PS and torque of 230 Nm. It is mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox and ARAI tested mileage is at 20.14 km/l.
The Cross Polo is offered as a 'tougher' looking variant of the standard car and is powered by the same engines.
The Polo GT twins, the GT TSI and GT TDI represent the performance side of the range. Powered by a 1.2-litre turbocharged petrol motor, the GT TSI also features the critically-acclaimed 7-speed dual-clutch transmission from the VW group. It has a maximum power output of 105PS with a maximum troque figure of 175Nm, coupled to the DSG-box the GT TSI is right now the best hot-hatch anyone can buy in the country without breaking the bank. The GT TDI, powered by the 1.5-litre diesel motor developing 105PS/250Nm mated to a 5-speed manual transmission offers a good mix of power, efficiency and handling.
The Interior of the Polo is simple and rich. Quality if very good and the ends are neat and well-sculpted. The feature list is rich and the cabin feels very classy. The voice command feature is very useful. Features like the cooled glovebox also add to the premiumness of the cabin.

Diesel Polo is quite fuel efficient.
The Volkswagen Polo, take any variant, has one of the best ride-and-handling characteristics amongst its competition. It is a suspension setup that is pliant enough to smother bad roads, while also being stiff to take croners at blistering speeds. The electronic power steering and the softer suspension do dull the driving charactristics of the GT twins though.
The Volkswagen Polo is a very comfortable car
The Volkswagen Polo is fitted with McPherson strut with stabiliser bar at the front
The Volkswagen Polo gets a semi-independent trailing arm suspension setup at the rear
Good ride quality
EPS and soft suspension dull driving experience of the GT TSi and GT TDI
