Interior Colors Match Body When Choosing Orange or Blue
The Volkswagen Polo, a compact hatchback, underwent a full model change in March of this year, its first in eight years. The latest sixth-generation model features a revamped powertrain and platform, including the adoption of a 1.0-liter three-cylinder turbo engine that produces a maximum output of 70kW (95ps) and a maximum torque of 175 Nm (17.9kgm), excluding the sport-oriented GTI grade.
The current updates introduce new optional features and interior color settings.
Among the new options, a "Technology Package" is now available, combining an "Active Info Display" with a fully digital instrument cluster capable of showing navigation and other information, along with "Smartphone Wireless Charging." While previously an option only for the 2.0-liter turbo engine-equipped "GTI," it is now offered across all grades.
Meanwhile, the previously available Leaf Blue Metallic and Energetic Orange Metallic body colors are now offered as optional upgrades. When these colors are selected, the dash pad and center console will match the body color. Furthermore, for the "Highline" upper-grade model, the seat fabric will also feature lines designed in the same color as the body.
The price for the Technology Package is ¥702,000, and both the blue and orange body colors are priced at ¥32,400.
The vehicle prices are as follows: the entry-grade TSI Trendline is ¥2,098,000, the TSI Comfortline is ¥2,299,000, the TSI Highline is ¥2,650,000, and the sport-grade GTI is ¥3,448,000.
