2009 VOLKWAGEN POLO BREAKS COVER IN GENEVA

The new Volkswagen Polo breaks cover today at the Geneva Motor Show. This is not a facelift but a brand new Polo. Smaller engines are the order of the day for everyone, including the small Polo. Therefore VW has decided to include a 1.2-litre TSI petrol engine that produces 77kW (105PS) and its mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox. Also a new 1.6-litre TDI good for 66kW (90PS) will be sold.

The Polo is longer and wider than the current car which has resulted in more interior space for both passengers and loads.

I have no idea as yet which of the engines will make their way to South Africa when the Polo is launched here in 2010. But both engines cannot be ruled out. Enjoy the pics.
