VW Polo: Stunning new look!

Picture updated!

UK's AutoExpress is reporting that the new VW Polo will receive a stunning new look which will be unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show. The look features the bold grille from VW's Concept A.

Having gained a reputation as a no-nonsense, grown-up supermini, the fifth-generation machine will build on its predecessor’s core values by introducing more distinctive styling, whilea better-quality interior and hi-tech super-turbo engines will feature.

Integrated spotlamps complete the looks at the front, while a rising waistline and multi-spoke alloy wheels mark the car out in profile. At the rear, distinctive tail-lights contribute to what is a much more confident shape – giving the Polo the style to match Fiat’s new Grande Punto and the imminent next-generation Corsa from Vauxhall.

Under the skin, the model is likely to be underpinned by a modified version of the current car’s platform. VW is understood to have a limited budget for the project, and so is keen to keep costs down as far as possible.

The shared platform means that, unlike its rivals, the Polo won’t sig-nificantly increase in length, but VW will improve interior space by making it wider.

Inside, both the three and five-door models will offer a cabin that shows big leaps forward in material quality. The firm has been criticised over falling standards, but the fifth-generation Polo will be the best-built supermini in its class, with soft-feel dashboard plastics and bright upholstery colours replacing the drab greys of previous models.
