Pulman Volkswagen play the generation game with their brand new arrival
The sixth generation of the Volkswagen Polo has arrived at Pulman Volkswagen. The first Polo arrived in this country over 40 years ago. As with every new generation of any model, the latest Volkswagen Polo is slightly longer and slightly wider than the outgoing model. It also sits slightly lower. Volkswagen has succeeded in keeping a familiar look whilst also giving the new Polo a sufficient makeover to make it look bang up-to- date. It’s only when you park the new model against a 5 th generation Polo that you spot the differences. As with every Volkswagen, it feels solid. The soft-touch fascia has panel inserts which can be personalised depending on which trim you go for, allowing you to choose from a variety of colours. In terms of goodies, every version of the new Volkswagen Polo comes with air conditioning, front powered windows, a touchscreen colour display which helps you use the audio system (DAB comes as standard), play MP3 files, CDs and connect your ‘phone via Bluetooth. The level of safety equipment is impressive. You are surrounded by air bags. There is emergency assist braking and pedestrian monitoring. Prices for the new Polo start at £13,855. This gets you into the Polo S with a 64bhp 1.0 litre TSi petrol engine. Add £775 and move up to the Polo SE which means you now get powered and heated door mirrors, powered front and rear windows, really smart alloy wheels, and a leather trimmed multi-function steering wheel. You also have the choice of 5-speed manual or 7-speed automatic gearbox. The engine choice is also broad with a selection of TSi petrol engines with varying power outputs or an incredibly economical 1.6 litre TDi diesel engine. You‘ll manage 76mpg yet still achieve a 0-60 mph time in a shade over 12 seconds. Between May 18 and June 4, there is a Polo event, which means you could save up to £1,140 off list price, have £500 towards your deposit contribution, get a year’s free insurance and 2 free services with Volkswagen PCP finance at 6.3% APR Representative. So, give them a call or drop into one of the Pulman Volkswagen retailers, boasting more than 20 years experience, and they’ll soon get you sorted.
