New Volkswagen Polo on sale in 2008

The 2009 Polo will feature sporty headlights and a neat twin-slat grille, while the whole look is finished off by Tiguan-style tail-lamps. It will have a length of almost 4 meters, being in this way larger inside. It will also have a higher roof.

Petrol engines will include a 1.2-litre three-cylinder unit developing 60bhp or 70bhp; an 85bhp 1.4 four-cylinder; and a 105bhp 1.2 super-turbo. There will also be a smooth new 1.6-litre common-rail TDI diesel, tuned to produce 75bhp, 90bhp or 105bhp. A Bluemotion model, with an 80bhp 1.4-litre TDI unit, will be offered, too, and all powerplants will meet Euro V emissions regulations. At the top of the line-up, hot hatch fans will be excited by a new flagship GTI powered by a 170bhp 1.4-litre turbocharged TSI motor.
