Volkswagen has announced that it will reveal the new Polo in Berlin on Friday, June 16, 2017. Volkswagen says that the new Polo will make a confident, sporty and emotional impression down to the last detail.
Klaus Bischoff, Head of Design Volkswagen Brand, explains: “This Volkswagen can immediately be made out as the original of its class, but also as a completely new generation. A Polo with an expressive design which makes the compact sportier, cleaner and unique within the brand range. This is a car that fits in perfectly with our times – both visually and technologically.”
What do we know so far?
The next generation Volkswagen Polo was caught completely undisguised on a couple of occasions in the past. The upcoming hatchback will be based on the brand’s MQB A0 platform. The new model will get revised styling, all-new interiors and a range of updated engines. It will also be longer and wider than before, thus generating more interior space. The interiors, though unconfirmed, are expected to benefit from new technologies like a fully digital instrument cluster, a new infotainment system with a large touchscreen and the Park Pilot parking assistant. It is also said to feature a soft-touch dashboard and a range of new active safety systems.
