Sales market: Russia.
Volkswagen Polo Sedan is a model created on the basis of the Polo hatchback specifically for Russia and emerging markets. The Polo Sedan made its world debut on June 2 at the 2010 Moscow Motor Show. In 2015, the company introduced an updated version to the Russian market. Changes in the exterior distinguish it from the previous sedan (new front and rear bumpers, new optics, a modified radiator grille, a changed design of rims, new body colors). There are also differences in the interior: new upholstery and trim options are available, a new steering wheel has been installed. A number of features have also been added to the updated model, for example, folding mirrors and front parking sensors, bi-xenon headlights, headlight washers and other equipment have become available. Initially, the sedan was offered with the same powertrains, but at the end of 2015, the engine range was updated.
The Polo Sedan has many trim options, with the standard set of versions (Trendline, Comfortline, Highline) adding the budget Conceptline, the more advanced Life and the sporty GT variant. Conceptline's lowest priced trim includes body-coloured bumpers, daytime running lights, 14" steel wheels, rear LED license plate light, height-adjustable driver's seat, reach and tilt steering column, power windows front and rear, central locking, multifunction display and trip computer, audio preparation and fabric interior.In more expensive versions, the owner of the Polo Sedan gets larger wheels (steel R15, light alloy R15, R16), side mirrors with turn signal, heating, electric adjustment and electric folding, heated washer nozzles, heating seats, air conditioning or climate control and many other features.Particularly noteworthy is the GT package, in which the Polo is distinguished by sports elements of the exterior (sports grille, sports bumpers, dual exhaust pipes, rear spoiler) and interior (sports seats with exclusive upholstery, sports steering wheel).
Volkswagen Polo Sedan is only available in front-wheel drive. The updated line of engines includes modifications with a 1.6-liter engine in 90 hp output options. and 110 hp (the previous 1.6-liter engines, which were installed until 2015, had a power of 85 hp and 105 hp). The 90-horsepower engine is offered with a 5-speed manual transmission (11.4 seconds of acceleration to 100 km / h and an average consumption of 5.8 l / 100 km). 110-horsepower - with a 5-speed “mechanics” or a 6-speed automatic transmission (acceleration to “hundreds” in 10.5 seconds and 12.1 seconds, average fuel consumption 6.4 l / 100 km and 7 l / 100 km). The new 1.4 TSI turbocharged engine has a return of 125 hp. It is equipped with either a 6-speed "mechanics" or a 7-speed "robot" DSG. For both modifications, the 0-100 km / h acceleration time is 9 seconds, the average consumption is 5.7 l / 100 km.
Volkswagen Polo Sedan is perfectly adapted to Russian conditions, which means the presence of reinforced suspension elements. In addition, the standard equipment of even the most inexpensive version includes power steering with variable efficiency depending on the speed. According to the manufacturer, the body of the Polo Sedan is protected from corrosion using special enamels that are resistant to aggressive external factors. The wheelbase of the sedan is 2552 mm (versus 2470 for the hatchback), which provides it with a fairly spacious interior for its class and a roomy luggage compartment (the minimum volume is 460 liters).
Of the security systems, the basic equipment of the Polo Sedan (Conceptline) includes 3-point belts for all seats, frontal airbags, ABS, Isofix mounts in the rear seat, daytime running lights, headlight range adjustment. For Trendline and above, rear disc brakes are offered (for all versions with a 90 hp engine - drum brakes at the rear), and with the Safety package, side airbags, ESP stabilization system are available (standard for Highline and GT with 7- step automatic transmission). In addition, expensive versions can offer front fog lights with cornering light function, front and rear parking sensors, light and rain sensors, daytime running lights with low beam assistant and the “Coming home” function.

The time when designers tried to make cars in the minimum configuration, thereby significantly reducing the cost of them, is long gone. Now many car manufacturers are trying to justify the rather high prices for their products with good interior design and quality parts. The Polo Sedan is also one of those cars. After restyling, he got more chrome in the cabin and on the body, bi-xenon headlights were added. The car warranty has been extended to three years.
Polo Sedan is a car that is the sales leader of the Volkswagen brand in our country. Since 2010, its production has been established in Kaluga. Since then, more than 300,000 vehicles have been produced. This car is among the ten most popular in Russia, second only to Hyundai Solaris and Kia Rio in sales.
Appearance Polo Sedan Restyling 2015-2016
Kia, when modernizing the Rio model, slightly changed the appearance of the car - now it looks German restrained, and the Polo Sedan has a front fender lining, peeped from Korean manufacturers. The pad does not copy the air intake - it's just a plate with the brand name of the model name. In some ways, the sedan has become similar to its counterparts - Passat and Jetta. The headlights became more intricate and complex in design, sharp lines appeared on the bumper and hood, and the fog lamps acquired a rectangular shape. The radiator grille has one more, third bar. Chrome strips appeared on the lower part of the bumper, trunk lid and on the door handles.
Before the upgrade, the Polo Sedan was outwardly friendly, as expressed by the head of the compact car brand Martine Binet. According to her, the innovations are designed to make the appearance of the car more expensive, to increase its status. To do this, they even increased the clearance by 1.5 cm.
Interior View Polo Sedan Restyling 2015-2016
As for internal changes, the main thing is that the steering wheel has become with a hub in the form of an inverted trapezoid. Additional buttons appeared on the right side of the steering wheel to control the on-board computer and voice communication. Interior trim can now be made not only in one black color, but also in two additional ones - beige bottom and seats. There were also additional details of chrome: a wide trim on the center console. The steering wheel is trimmed with leather, leather trim for the gear lever and parking brake began to be included as standard.
The Polo Comfortline variation was left without the windshield heating function; after upgrades, this option is available only for cars with the additional Comfort package.
The trunk lid has got an opening button. The body is now available in nine different colors. Of the latest "gadgets" include cruise control, front parking sensors, mirrors, folding automatically with the help of an electric drive and fog lights that turn with the steering wheel. At one of the presentations there was a version of the car, which has bi-xenon headlights with LED running lights. But this feature will not be implemented in production right away.
Within a few months, it is planned to install a multimedia system in the new Polo Sedan, which will display data received from the smartphone owner of the car. When compared with other brands, it can be noted that many competitors have acquired a multimedia system, but no one has got bi-xenon headlights with washers. This is their main advantage.
Characteristics Polo Sedan Restyling 2015-2016
Technical innovations are also planned for the end of this year: the sedan will have a 1.6-liter engine with a capacity of 81 and 110 hp. These engines fully comply with Euro-5 standards.
The concern also released a special version of its bestseller Polo Sedan.
Manufacturers and designers offered a large number of ideas in order to release a special version of the sedan. Previously, this has already been implemented in the Sochi, Style, Club versions. VAG does not intend to change its actions in the future. In 2017, it is planned to release and launch a version of the GT sedan, which will be equipped with a 1.4 turbo engine with a power of 125 hp. The model will have 16-inch alloy wheels and disc brakes on each wheel. It is planned to test a DSG robotic gearbox instead of a conventional automatic transmission. Cars with such a transmission have already been sold by Skoda.
Options And Prices Polo Sedan Restyling 2015-2016
The price of the new Polo Sedan is at a minimum of 554,900 rubles. Before the changes, the price was about 50 thousand lower. At first glance, it seems that the price has increased significantly. But it is worth noting that now the minimum cost is indicated for the car in the basic configuration. In the restyled version, this is not yet provided. The Polo Sedan is currently on the market in the Trendline configuration, which has air conditioning,
and the cost of such a car is 523,000 rubles. When calculating, it turns out that the sedan has fallen in price, and at the same time the guarantee for it has increased.
The option with an automatic transmission will cost 673,900 rubles. When compared to competitors, the price is very competitive.
It is planned to launch the production of Polo Sedan and to work in a taxi. The car will have a reinforced gearbox and a more powerful suspension. The body, of course, will be painted yellow.
History of Polo Sedan in Russia
In our country, the Volkswagen concern decided to produce cheaper cars from the end of 2009. At that time, the fifth generation Polo was the first car produced in Russia. For production, a whole plant was built in Kaluga. At first, a third of the car was assembled in our country. The plant in Kaluga produced most of the body parts. After that, Skoda Rapid began to be produced in Russia, designed on the same platform as the Polo Sedan.
After the Koreans updated their Hyundai Solaris and Kia Rio budget sedans, it became clear that we would soon see a modernized Volkswagen Polo, which by this time had already lost the Sedan prefix. And so it happened. The restyled folk sedan was not long in coming. How much has changed in the course of modernization? Let's look for differences.
The appearance of the German sedan has not changed dramatically. The updated Polo received a new front bumper, front optics and grille, as a result of which it began to resemble the older Jetta model. The rear is much less different. It all came down to installing a new bumper and taillights with slightly modified graphics. And the most expensive versions of the Polo sedan can now be recognized by the chrome bar on the trunk lid.
There are also few changes in the cabin. Only the steering wheel truncated at the bottom and the instrument cluster with modified graphics are striking. Although the changes are actually a little more. During the restyling, the upholstery of the seats was improved, and the material from which the inserts on the front panel are made was also changed. In addition, now the interior of the Polo can be two-tone. At the request of the buyer, the seat upholstery can be not black, but beige.
Expanded in the course of restyling and the list of options offered. For a surcharge, Polo can be equipped with electric folding side mirrors and bi-xenon headlights. It is impossible not to take into account the improved sound insulation. Not without reason, during restyling, additional soundproofing elements appeared in the area of \u200b\u200bthe wheel arches and the engine compartment.
But in technical terms, there are no changes, alas. As before, the Polo sedan is offered with two 1.6-liter petrol engines, the power of which is 85 and 105 horsepower. With a less powerful engine, only a manual gearbox is combined, and for the 105-horsepower version, you can order an “automatic”. For those who want a more powerful engine, it makes sense to wait until next year. It was then that the Polo will begin to install a 1.4 TSI gasoline paired with a DSG “robot”. The related model Skoda Rapid, by the way, is equipped with this power unit from the first days of its production.
Particular attention during the update was given to special versions of the Polo. So, for example, for cars that will work in the taxi service, a reinforced manual gearbox and more abrasion-resistant upholstery materials will be offered. Revised "Volkswagenovtsy" in the course of restyling and the list of suppliers of parts and equipment. As a result, it was decided to abandon Kama tires. They will be replaced by tires of one of the foreign brands.
And a three-year factory warranty (or 100 thousand kilometers) began to operate on the restyled Polo. But, as is often the case, updated cars have slightly increased in price. So the upgraded sedan has become not only better, but also more expensive. And about whether the prettier Volkswagen Polo will be able to compete on equal terms with numerous competitors, we will find out very soon.
Five years ago, when the Kaluga Volkswagen Polo was just entering the market, Volkswagen marketers were hard at work accustoming us to the Polo-sedan combination. But now the clarification "sedan" has been dropped. From now on, it’s just Polo, because sales of hatchbacks in Russia were stopped a year ago, when restyled three-door and five-door cars entered the European market. Now our sedan has undergone an update. What changed?
The turn signal repeaters have moved from the front fenders to the mirrors, so there are now plugs on the body
The car now has a different front end design in the style of the recently upgraded Jetta: with a new bumper, grille, lighting and hood. At the back, there are fewer differences: a bumper, a different graphics of the lights, and the expensive versions have two chrome strips - on the bumper and trunk lid.
The updated display appeared a year ago, and now the graphics of the instrument scales have been slightly changed
The main new thing in the cabin is a new steering wheel with a truncated rim, like the “large” Jetta and Golf models. The materials from which the inserts on the front panel are made, as well as the seat upholstery, have been changed. The Highline version has a new interior lighting.
In addition to the black interior, you can now order a two-tone one - with beige seats and inserts
0 / 0
Noise isolation has been improved: additional noise-absorbing materials are installed on the engine shield, in wheel arches, doors and front pillars. The list of options has been expanded: bi-xenon headlights, front parking sensors and electric folding mirrors are now available for a surcharge. Neither Solaris with Rio nor the new Logan have such options, although conventional xenon headlights are offered for Rapid.
On the left - basic halogen headlights, on the right - optional bi-xenon with a luminous flux of 3400 lumens, washers and LED running lights
Alas, there are no changes in technology yet: the updated Polo sedan enters the market with the same 1.6 engine of the EA111 family in two boost levels (85 or 105 hp). The gearbox is a five-speed "mechanics", and for the 105-horsepower version, a six-speed "automatic" is offered.
Meanwhile, related Skoda Rapid liftbacks, which are produced at the same plant near Kaluga, will start installing 1.6 engines of the new EA211 family (90 or 110 hp) from mid-June that meet Euro-5 standards instead of Euro-4. At first, new engines will be imported from Germany, but a motor plant has already been built near Kaluga, where mass production of such aspirated engines will begin in the fall (production volume is up to 150,000 per year). The leadership of the Volkswagen brand decided not to install new-generation imported engines on the Polo sedan, but to wait for the start of their local production. Therefore, by the end of the year, Polo will still have new engines.
An electromagnetic lock button finally appeared on the trunk lid - before the lid could only be opened from the passenger compartment or with a key
The updated Polo has risen in price by about 30-45 thousand rubles. The basic configuration of the Conceptline without air conditioning, which cost 505 thousand rubles, is no more. The gamut is opened by the Trendline version with an 85-horsepower engine for 554,900 rubles - against 523 thousand for a similar pre-styling version. The same sedan with a 105 hp engine. will cost 587,900 rubles, but there will be no more “trendline” with an automatic transmission: now the two-pedal Polo is at least 673,900 rubles for the Comfortline version.
But Polo became the first Volkswagen car, which has a three-year factory warranty (or 100,000 km) instead of the previous two-year (without mileage limit), and a 12-year warranty against through-corrosion of the body. Soon such conditions may appear for other Russian-assembled Volkswagens (these are Jetta and Tiguan).
Exhaust pipe now on display
The modernization of the Polo sedan will not end there. Next year, the GT modification will enter the market: with a 1.4 TSI turbo engine (125 hp), preselective DSG “robot”, 16-inch wheels, disc rear brakes and “sporty” touches in the design. By the way, the related Skoda Rapid is equipped with such a power unit from the very beginning of production.
The rear brakes are still drum brakes, discs will appear next year on the GT version.
A special version for a taxi is also being prepared: with a modified interior trim and a reinforced manual transmission. In addition, the plant in Kaluga plans to change some suppliers. For example, Volkswagen is not averse to abandoning Kama tires - most likely, they will be replaced by Continental tires.
According to the results of five months, Polo sales fell even more than the market: by 40% (to 16,143 cars). During the same time, Kia Rio sank by 13% (33,700 cars, including hatchbacks), Renault Logan - by 15% (16,493 cars of two generations), and the demand for Hyundai Solaris did not change at all (44,455 cars). In addition, the Ford Fiesta enters the market. The upgrades, coupled with an extended warranty, can help Polo edge out the competition, but all these measures should have been taken at least a year ago when the new Logan and updated Solaris entered the market. Now Volkswagen is in the role of catching up - and the Polo will not have an easy life for sure.
