New levels of fuel-efficiency, comfort and safety. All new Polo cars – including the Polo TSI BlueMotion, Polo TDI BlueMotion, Polo BlueGT and CrossPolo models – offer a range of driving, convenience and safety technologies which is unique in this class: A new electro-mechanical servo steering system improves steering properties. Volkswagen will be at the starting line with the newly developed Sport Select suspension, which uses electronically controlled dampers so that drivers can choose between two tuning characteristics at the push of a button (not available on the Polo BlueMotion or CrossPolo). In tandem with this, assistance systems have been introduced into the Polo programme such as the standard Automatic Post-Collision Braking System (automatically initiates braking after a collision) and the optional Driver Alert System, Front Assist ambient traffic monitoring system with City Emergency Braking and Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC). The view towards the rear can now be sharpened by the optional Rear Assist rear view camera as well. Also new are the controls for the climate control system.
Progressive infotainment world. The infotainment line-up was also reconfigured. It consists of three radio/CD systems (“Composition Touch,” “Composition Colour,” “Composition Media”) and a radio/CD navigation system (“Discover Media”). Depending on the version, the devices offer functions such as Bluetooth audio streaming (with a smart phone, including cover display and touchscreen control), a proximity sensor (other menu details are shown when hand approaches the screen), two-finger map zooming in navigation mode (like on a smart phone) and interfacing of the mobile phone to the vehicle’s exterior antenna by inductive coupling. All systems can be equipped with digital radio reception (DAB+). In addition, special smart phone apps can be accessed on the touchscreen via MirrorLink™
Details of the new Polo BlueMotion as TSI and TDI
World premiere of the 1.0 TSI with 95 PS. For the first time, there is an independent Volkswagen BlueMotion model with a petrol engine: the new Polo TSI BlueMotion. The drive – a 1.0-litre turbocharged petrol direct-injection engine – is a completely newly developed engine that will make its debut later this year. The three-cylinder engine outputs a powerful 70 kW / 95 PS. With a fuel consumption of 4.1 l/100 km and CO2 emissions of 94 g/km, the Polo TSI BlueMotion sets new top values in the segment of five-seaters with petrol engines.
New TDI BlueMotion The Polo TDI BlueMotion also delivers top values. Its 55 kW / 75 PS turbodiesel direct-injection engine consumes only 3.1 l/100 km (82 g/km CO2), making this Polo the most fuel-efficient five-seat diesel car in the world. Compared to its already extremely efficient predecessor that had a 1.2-litre three-cylinder engine, the fuel efficiency of the Polo has once more been increased by 0.2 l/100 km. The theoretical range of the Polo TDI BlueMotion with a 45-litre fuel tank and five-speed manual gearbox is 1,400 kilometres – a non-stop drive from Flensburg near Denmark to Venice in Italy!
Low air drag and rolling resistance. Air drag is reduced in the BlueMotion versions by the modified underbody, burnished radiator grille insert and the rear and front spoilers that have been perfected in terms of aerodynamics reduce the. Tyres optimised for low rolling resistance also contribute to the ground-breaking fuel-consumption values. The “Clearwater Blue Metallic” paint, exclusively mixed for these models, is one of the features that emphasises the sustainable talents of the Polo TSI BlueMotion and TDI BlueMotion. The 15-inch “Buenos Aires” alloy wheel is also exclusively reserved for the two Polo BlueMotion models. Individual seat covers and chrome adornments as well as leather-covered steering wheel, gear lever and parking brake lever add to a markedly high-class ambience in the interior of the BlueMotion.
