Distinct appearance, typical of the Polo.
With its compact dimensions and fresh design highlights, the new Polo exudes personality even at first glance. Its most striking feature is the redesigned front with optional LED light strip combined with IQ-LIGHT Matrix LED headlights between the headlamps. On closer inspection, it’s not only the choice of colour that stands out so prominently, but a whole range of features through which each of the four Polo, Polo Life, Polo Style, or Polo R-Line equipment lines come into their own. Examples include decorative chrome highlights and other optional features such as a colour-contrasting roof or fog lights.

Panoramic/tilting and sliding roof

IQ.Drive
IQ.Drive Travel Assist
Stay within your lane and keep others at a distance
The new Polo includes a capacitive steering wheel when you opt for Travel Assist1: thanks to a touch-sensitive surface, it can detect whether you physically have your hands on the wheel. Travel Assist puts the comfort into driving by providing assistance in monotonous and tiring situations2. Travel Assist also helps keep you in lane and maintain your speed while taking into account the distance from vehicles in front, especially on motorways like the M50 and major roads2.
1 Standard on Polo Style and R-Line.
2 Within system limits. The driver must be prepared at all times to override the assistance system. These systems do not absolve drivers of their responsibility to drive with due care and attention
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
Keep your distance and stay within speed limits.
Adaptive cruise control (ACC)1 can help you keep within your pre-set maximum speed (up to 210 km/h) and maintain your distance to the vehicle in front of you. It also helps your new Polo to automatically stop and start moving in rush-hour traffic jams (if the DSG automatic gearbox option is installed). Predictive cruise control and cornering assist is added to the ACC in combination with the optional navigation system.3 This helps you avoid surpassing the speed limits by recognizing the limits along you're route.2 The system also uses route data from the navigation system to adapt the vehicle’s own speed to corners, junctions (exits), and roundabouts.2
1 Standard on Style and R-Line.
2 Within the system limits.
3 Only available from a later date.
Side Assist land change assist system
Change lanes systematically
The Side Assist lane change assist system uses an LED light in the side mirrors to indicate that there are other vehicles in your blind spot or driving up to 50 m behind you.1 When you indicate to change lanes, the system calculates whether one of these vehicles could pose a hazard based on position and speed, and then flashes to make you aware to this.
1 Within system limits. The driver must be prepared at all times to override the assistance system. These systems do not absolve drivers of their responsibility to drive with due care and attention.
2 Optional as part of Driver Assistance Package
Park Assist including parking distance warning system
Driving into a parking space made easy
The new Polo with optional Park Assist1 including parking distance warning system not only tells you whether a parking space is large enough when driving past, but can also drive into the parking spot for you2. You control the clutch, accelerator, and brake, and observe your surroundings,2 and the system does the rest.
Sensors scan suitable parking spaces (up to a maximum of 40 km/h).
Parallel parking spaces must have one vehicle length plus 80 cm manoeuvring distance for parking, and at least 25 cm in front of and behind the vehicle for driving out of a parking space.
Parking bays must have at least 35 cm clearance on both sides.
