Volkswagen Polo ( 2022 )

Volkswagen polo.

The Polo: built in Pamplona, Spain and Uitenhage in South Africa, it will soon be on its way to countless markets across the world. With more than 18 million units built, the Polo is one of the world's most successful compact cars. The Polo may be small in size, but it is one of the greats of the Volkswagen brand: for years, it has been regularly claiming a place among the top three best-selling model series. Now the Volkswagen Polo has evolved once again. The design, technologies and specification matrix of the bestseller have had a comprehensive update, as is immediately obvious when you see the vehicle's new front and rear. The bumpers and boot lid have been given a new look, as have the headlights and tail light clusters, which now come with LED technology as standard. Thanks to the new lighting design, this Polo has a particularly charismatic daytime and nighttime signature. And for the first time, this striking signature includes an LED light strip along the radiator grille crossbar - this is in conjunction with the IQ.LIGHT LED matrix headlights (optional/dependent on specification package), which are also new for the Polo. In this regard, the new VW Polo takes its cue from the ID models as well as the new Golf and Arteon - these were the first Volkswagens to have an LED crossbar at the front. Moving to the interior, the Polo boasts the Digital Cockpit, now fitted as standard, a redesigned multifunction steering wheel which likewise comes as standard, and new-generation infotainment systems including the online control unit (eSIM) and App-Connect Wireless (both dependent on specification). Customers who opt for Climatronic in their Polo will now be able to operate the automatic air conditioner via touchscreen, as is also the case in larger models like the Tiguan, Passat and Arteon.

2022 Volkswagen Polo

IQ.DRIVE Travel Assist is optional, Lane Assist comes as standard

From a technical perspective, too, this compact four-door model has strong similarities to Volkswagens in the higher segments. An example: the new Volkswagen Polo is the first vehicle in its class to be offered with the optional IQ.DRIVE Travel Assist feature. This brings together functions including the new predictive ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control) and Lane Assist to create a new assist system enabling partly automated driving at speeds of up to 210 km/h. In vehicles equipped with Travel Assist, the new multifunction steering wheel (which comes as standard) is fitted with touch-sensitive surfaces. These register that the driver's hands are touching the steering wheel when IQ.DRIVE Travel Assist is activated, thus meeting the requirements for Level 2 on the scale of driving automation within the EU. What's more, every Polo comes equipped with various assist systems as standard, such as Autonomous Emergency Braking Front Assist, which includes the City Emergency Braking System and now also Lane Assist. The fact is: you'd struggle to find another car in the Polo's class that offers such an innovative spectrum of assist systems.

Polo, Life, Style, R-Line and GTI

The specification packages have been newly designed and reconfigured. Previously, the VW Polo was available in the Trendline (basic model), Comfortline (mid-level) and Highline (premium) versions. Volkswagen has done things differently this time, creating a more user-friendly range of versions and integrating the equipment that was most popular with customers into the standard model. The configurator now starts with the Polo version, and continues with Life, Style and R-Line. These versions are set to be launched this spring. And the Polo will be available as a GTI, too: its world premiere is set to take place this summer.

Polo is anything but basic

Kicking things off in terms of equipment is the Polo version. As mentioned above, it now boasts LED headlights, LED tail light clusters, the new multifunction steering wheel and Lane Assist. Another new addition is the centre airbag. Located on the driver side on the side of the rear seat backrest, this airbag opens toward the centre in the event of an accident; it prevents the driver and front passenger from knocking into one another during a crash and thus sustaining injuries. Another new safety feature: a lap belt tensioner that also tensions the seat belt around the pelvis. In addition, Volkswagen has now incorporated the Digital Cockpit (digital instruments with an 8.0-inch display) into the basic equipment. And there is a range of other features that are now fitted as standard: the air conditioning system, the Composition Media audio system with 6.5-inch monitor, a Bluetooth mobile phone interface and exterior mirrors that can be electrically adjusted and heated, electric windows throughout the vehicle, door handles and exterior mirror caps in the main vehicle colour and, last but not least, the highest quality version of the dash panel (with foam inserts). Fresh: the seat covers in Polo design Elegant: the dark interior décor Licorice Black. As you can see - anything but basic.

"Life" is the new golden mean

The next level up is the specification package "Life". This includes additional standard features such as 15-inch rather than 14-inch wheels, App-Connect, a centre armrest with an additional USB-C port in the middle of the passenger compartment and leather trim on the steering wheel and gear knob. The seats in the Volkswagen Polo Life are upholstered in the high-quality Life fabric; the matching interior décor is known as Lava Stone Black.

Style and R-Line are the premium equipment packages

Like the Life, the two new premium equipment packages, Style and R-Line, follow the nomenclature that was introduced with the current Golf. Style and R-Line have different emphases, but are at a similar level in terms of their specifications. With the Style equipment package, the focus is on visual elegance, whilst the R-Line is clearly all about the sporty side of life.

Style includes IQ.LIGHT LED matrix headlights

The expanded range of equipment for the Polo Style includes the IQ.LIGHT LED matrix headlights, newly developed and available in this product line for the first time. Originally featured in the luxury SUV Touareg, this interactive headlight technology is a typical example of how Volkswagen makes high-tech systems available in all vehicle classes, thereby democratising both safety and comfort. Other exterior features of the Polo Style include the distinctive front end with chrome-look crossbars, LED fog lights and 15-inch Ronda alloy wheels. The expanded range of functions also includes Park Assist at the front and rear. Inside, there are a range of additional details such as the 10.25-inch Digital Cockpit Pro (including image of caller, Coverflow, map view and Slide Show), background lighting and the 8-inch Infotainment system Ready2Discover, which includes App-Connect Wireless. With Ready2Discover, customers have the option of retrofitting the navigation system as a feature on demand. Stylish: the seat covers in the Style design and the high-gloss décor in Deep Iron. There is also the option to order the seats with exclusive ArtVelours covers.

R-Line with bumpers in R design

Just one look at the new Polo R-Line's highly individual exterior and you'll be in no doubt of its sporty character. The bumpers are distinguished from those of all other Polo versions by their striking R design. In the front bumper, the high-gloss black cross and longitudinal bars of the air intakes and their surround convey a unique and charismatic sense of dynamism. Here too, IQ.LIGHT LED matrix headlights and LED fog lights are fitted as standard. A diffuser - once again in high-gloss black - with chrome-look integrated exhaust panels in the lower part of the vehicle rear distinguishes this area from the Polo, Life and Style equipment versions. And the 16-inch Valencia alloy wheels are fitted on the Polo R-Line as standard. Like the Polo Style, the Polo R-Line comes equipped with the Ready2Discover Infotainment system. The Polo R-Line's seats are upholstered with Karoso fabric in ArtVelours, sporty and exclusive in equal measure; this coordinates perfectly with the interior décor in Dark Grey.

Four new colours

The new Volkswagen Polo is available in eight colours: the single-colour Ascot Grey (new) and Pure White, the metallics Reflex Silver, Smoke Grey (new) and Reef Blue, the sporty Kings Red (new), the strikingly fresh Vibrant Violet (new), and finally, the pearl-effect Deep Black. In addition, the body colours Kings Red, Pure White, Reflex Silver and Reef Blue can be combined with a roof in the colour Black (roof package).

Everything from a sound system to sports running gear

As in the predecessor, the new Polo will be available with a range of optional features, allowing customers to create a Polo that is exactly to their tastes. These include a large tilting and sliding panoramic sunroof, up to 17-inch alloy wheels, a ball coupling, the beatsAudio sound system with a total output of 300 watts, the keyless locking and starting system Keyless Access, voice control, tinted rear windows and a sports package (for Style and R-Line) including sports running gear (vehicle body set 15 mm lower) with electronic differential lock (XDS) and driving profile selection.

Four petrol engines and a natural gas drive

Volkswagen is launching the latest evolutionary stage of the Polo, which is generally front-wheel-drive, with a range of five different highly efficient petrol engines. The petrol engines available as of the launch date deliver 59 kW (80 PS), 70 kW (95 PS) and 81 kW (110 PS). The 70 kW engine will be offered with an optional 7-speed dual clutch gearbox (DSG), while this will be standard for the 81 kW engine. Additionally, the Volkswagen Polo will once again be available as a 1.0 TGI with a monovalent natural gas/petrol drive. The 1.0 TGI generates 66 kW (90 PS). All engines available as of the launch are high-tech three-cylinder engines with a capacity of 999 cm; at 70 kW and above, they are equipped with a turbocharger.

Modular transverse matrix

The technical basis for the current Polo is provided by the state-of-the-art modular transverse matrix (MQB). But unlike the larger models such as the Golf, Tiguan and Arteon, the Polo is based on the MQB A0, which has been perfected for particularly compact Volkswagen vehicles. The MQB offers a range of advantages: an obvious one being the crisp proportions that characterise the look of the new Polo. Underneath the shell, so to speak, we discover the technical advantages of the MQB, including an optimised package (351-litre luggage compartment volume), a high level of body stiffness, excellent crash characteristics and a low body weight.

Long wheelbase

The new evolutionary stage of the Polo measures 4,053 mm in length. A large wheelbase of 2,564 mm stretches between the newly designed front and rear bumpers. This measurement shortens the overhangs, making the car appear powerful and sporty. The Polo is 1,751 mm wide and 1,446 mm high.

The current Volkswagen Polo is a confident compact car, with expressive design that oozes a unique charisma from whichever angle you look at it. From the side, this Volkswagen is characterised by a long and elegant roof line, which flows into a roof spoiler at the rear. A fine line in the side section runs parallel to the roof, serving to visually lower the centre of gravity. Among the iconic Polo details are the long band of side windows, including the rear side window which is integrated into the C-pillar. The precisely cut C-pillar slants forwards, giving the Polo a dynamism that appears to be propelling it forward even as it stands still. Underneath the window line, you'll find other key design elements: the arrow-shaped double line - known as the tornado line - is a design feature that defines the look of the Polo. The surface of this three-dimensional tornado line projects out slightly in the style of a shoulder section, before finishing with a sharp undercut at the bottom. The upper of these two double lines begins at the C-pillar and extends forward to the wings. The second, lower line forms the undercut; it begins in the three-dimensional LED tail light cluster and likewise runs to the front wings, where it rises slightly to meet the upper line.

The combination of the radiator grille and the LED headlights - fitted as standard - make up the "face" of the Polo, which extends across the entire vehicle width. And the optional new IQ.LIGHT LED matrix headlights create an especially striking effect. If these are selected, the LED dual headlights combine with the LED daytime running lights to form a unique signature. Two LED strips border each headlight along the lower edge; the upper and longer of these two LED strips is also optically connected with the LED crossbar on the radiator grille, now offered for the first time in the Polo. Strong contours: as for the Arteon, the bonnet runs right down into the radiator grille. Also striking: the new-look bumper, which is likewise designed to emphasise width. In the Volkswagen Polo Style, the two cross pieces in the bumper have a chrome look, and span almost the entire width of the vehicle. Meanwhile, the bumpers belonging to the Polo R-Line in the "R" design are markedly different from those of the other Polo versions: In the front bumper, the high-gloss black cross and longitudinal bars of the air intakes and their surround convey a unique and charismatic sense of dynamism. What's more, the Polo R-Line and Polo Style are fitted with new LED fog lights as standard.

The new Volkswagen Polo comes with newly designed LED tail light clusters as standard. For the first time, these are made up of two sections: as well as the outer main element, there is now a second segment that is integrated into the rear lid. The three-dimensional design of the tail light clusters gives a more distinctive appearance to the rear section and an enhanced sense of quality to the Volkswagen Polo as a whole. In addition, the premium version of the LED tail light clusters includes a dynamic turn signal ("wiping" effect) and a switch function for the LEDs when braking ("click-clack" effect); this function enables the brake lights to be even more visible to other road users. The new Polo R-Line has a unique look at the rear, too: a high-gloss black diffuser with chrome-look integrated exhaust panels in the lower part of the vehicle rear distinguishes this area from the Polo, Life and Style equipment versions.

Digital Cockpit as standard

The entire dash panel of the Volkswagen Polo is characterised by a horizontal design. This design is largely defined by the modules that the dash panel contains: the Digital Cockpit, now fitted as standard, with an 8.0-inch screen and the new generation of infotainment systems. Additionally, the Polo Style boasts the Digital Cockpit Pro as standard, with a cockpit measuring 10.25 inches. Using the View button in the right-hand spoke of the multifunction steering wheel, the VW Polo driver can switch quickly and easily between the three basic layouts of the Digital Cockpit. Together, the digital instrument and Infotainment system displays make up one unit; positioned at the same high level, they form a visual axis that is highly ergonomic. What's more: all important modules apart from the air conditioning are integrated into the dash panel's upper crossbar. This crossbar continues on into the front doors and is trimmed in different finishes depending on the equipment: three of these are new. The Infotainment system screen is located in a high-gloss black "island" at the centre. The only additional button in this area is the hazard warning light switch. To the left, the high-gloss black user control island merges into the level of the instruments. In conjunction with the Digital Cockpit or Digital Cockpit Pro and the Infotainment system, this creates a coherent digital cockpit landscape. The air conditioning functions are located centrally on the next level down.

Digital operation of Climatronic

If the new VW Polo is equipped with the optional Climatronic feature, the automatic air conditioner will now have a completely new, digitalised mode of operation: touch panels and sliders now perform the functions of rotary knobs and buttons. Everything is self-explanatory thanks to the use of direct-access controls positioned ideally in the driver's field of view. All functions are also illuminated. The module itself is located below the Infotainment system, is finished in elegant high-gloss black, and is clearly divided into three levels. On the top level are the direct-access buttons for the windscreen defrost function, the rear window heating, the air recirculation function and the digital displays (temperature on driver and front passenger sides, air conditioning mode). The second level contains the touch panels for seat heating, automatic mode ("Auto") and synchronisation ("Sync") of the two climate zones, and a slider for operating the blower speed. Integrated into the third level are illuminated sliders for setting the temperature and touch panels for switching the Climatronic on or off and selecting the air flow direction (head, middle, footwell). Located below the air conditioning module: two illuminated USB-C ports and a compartment for optional inductive smartphone charging.

New infotainment systems

The new Polo will be available with a choice of four different infotainment systems: Composition Media with a 6.5-inch display (comes as standard in Polo and Life), Ready2Discover with an 8.0-inch display (comes as standard in Style and R-Line), Discover Media with an 8.0-inch display, and Discover Pro, offered in 9.2-inch format for the first time. Composition Media is part of the second-generation modular Infotainment matrix (MIB2), whilst the 8.0-inch and 9.2-inch devices are systems from the third-generation modular Infotainment matrix (MIB3). With the Ready2Discover radio system, the user has the option to retroactively activate the navigation function (features on demand). Discover Media and Discover Pro come with these features as standard. Thanks to an Online Connectivity Unit (OCU) with integrated eSIM, the enhanced functions of the MIB3 systems include the online services of We Connect (set up for an unlimited usage period) and We Connect Plus (set up for free use for one or three years in Europe). Depending on the equipment, MIB3 systems also offer new features including access to streaming services such as Apple Music™. Users can also personalise a wide range of settings and save them to the Cloud via Volkswagen ID for use in other Volkswagen vehicles. Already familiar from the predecessor model is the wireless integration of apps via App-Connect Wireless (comes as standard in Style and R-Line) for Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™.

Volkswagen is launching the latest evolutionary stage of the Polo, generally with front-wheel-drive, with a range of five different petrol engines. The petrol engines available as of the launch date deliver 59 kW (80 PS), 70 kW (95 PS) and 81 kW (110 PS). The 70 kW engine will be offered with an optional 7-speed dual clutch gearbox (DSG), whilst this will be standard for the 81 kW engine. Additionally, Volkswagen will once again offer the Polo as a 1.0 TGI with a bivalent natural gas/petrol drive. The 1.0 TGI delivers 66 kW (90 PS). All four engines are three-cylinder with a capacity of 999 cm3.

1.0 MPI with 59 kW / 80 PS

The Polo is fitted with a 1.0-litre petrol engine as standard: the 1.0 MPI. The engine delivers 59 kW (80 PS) and a maximum torque of 93 Nm, and is paired with a 5-speed gearbox.

1.0 TSI with 70 kW / 95 PS

The Polo's smallest turbocharged direct injection engine (TSI) provides an output of 70 kW / 95 PS. The TSI is as efficient as it is agile. This engine can also optionally be combined with a 7-speed DSG as an alternative to the 5-speed manual gearbox.

1.0 TSI with 81 kW / 110 PS

The most powerful TSI available in the Volkswagen Polo at its launch is likewise a three-cylinder model: the 1.0 TSI, which delivers 81 kW (110 PS). This petrol engine will be launched in conjunction with a 7-speed DSG as standard. The maximum torque is 200 Nm.

1.0 TGI with 66 kW / 90 PS

Like the two pure petrol engines, the 1.0 TGI - an especially sustainable natural gas engine - is three-cylinder. It has an output of 66 kW (90 PS). Even at very low engine speeds, this efficient natural gas engine provides its maximum torque of 160 Nm. The engine starts in natural gas mode, provided there is enough compressed natural gas (CNG) on board. If the CNG in the secure high pressure tank has been used up, the engine switches to petrol.

IQ.LIGHT LED matrix headlights

Polo drivers will now be able to benefit from a new evolutionary stage of vehicle lighting: the IQ.LIGHT LED matrix headlights. Volkswagen first used this headlight system in a similar form in the Touareg, a much larger car. Following in the tracks of the Touareg, Passat, Golf and Tiguan, the new Polo is the fifth Volkswagen to feature this LED lighting system. Using a matrix of eight LEDs in each headlight module, different light functions - some of which are interactive - are activated and projected onto the road surface.

IQ.DRIVE Travel Assist

Volkswagen is bundling its systems for assisted driving under the umbrella brand IQ.DRIVE. The new Polo takes assisted driving one step further with IQ.DRIVE Travel Assist - the first time that this system has been available in the product line. The system can take over steering, braking and acceleration of the compact Volkswagen at speeds starting from 0 km/h (with dual clutch gearbox) or 30 km/h (manual gearbox) and going up to the car's maximum speed (the driver remains responsible for control of the Polo at all times). To do this, the system relies on functions including Adaptive Cruise Control (longitudinal guidance) and Lane Assist (lateral guidance). The driver activates the system by pressing a separate Travel Assist button on the new multifunction steering wheel. The driver has to keep their hands on the steering wheel even when IQ.DRIVE Travel Assist is active. The Volkswagen Polo's electronics detect this via new touch-sensitive surfaces on the steering wheel. This touch detection is a great deal more reliable than the steering angle-based system of the predecessor even on long and very flat stretches of road.

Predictive ACC

The latest generation of Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) works together with the DSG and navigation system to proactively take into account local speed limit information, town boundary signs, junctions and roundabouts. To do this, the assist system uses the signals from the front camera as well as GPS and map data. The ACC is an example of how even familiar assist systems are constantly evolving and becoming more intelligent. Moreover, when the system is combined with DSG, the Polo with ACC can be automatically slowed to a standstill behind a stopping vehicle. ACC operation will resume automatically in the Polo once the driver re-enables it.

Side Assist plus Lane Assist and Rear Traffic Alert

The new Polo is offered with the Lane Assist lane keeping system as standard. If the Volkswagen is ordered with the optional driver assist system package including Side Assist, these two systems merge. Also on board in this case are the Rear Traffic Alert, the proactive occupant protection system and Front Assist including Cyclist Monitoring. The driver assist system package can help to prevent serious accidents, particularly in the following two situations: Firstly: on the motorway, where it is able to detect vehicles overtaking quickly as well as slow vehicles in the blind spot. It then warns the driver and, using Lane Assist, will even actively countersteer. Secondly: when reversing out of a parking space, as the sensors are even able to detect vehicles that are approaching from the side and are not yet visible to the driver.

Autonomous Emergency Braking Front Assist

Front Assist, which is fitted as standard, uses a radar sensor integrated into the front of the vehicle to continuously monitor the distance to the vehicles ahead. The system assists the driver in critical situations by preconditioning the brake system, alerting the driver to the need to react by visual and audible warnings and, in a second stage, by a brief warning jolt of the brake pedal. If the driver does not brake hard enough, the system automatically generates the necessary amount of brake pressure to prevent a collision. If the driver does not react at all, Front Assist automatically applies the brakes to give the driver more reaction time. In addition, the system assists by informing the driver if the distance to the vehicle ahead is too short. The latest version of Front Assist being offered in the Polo not only detects other vehicles, but also pedestrians and cyclists who are moving across the driving lane - and not only during the day, but in darkness too. As soon as a pedestrian or cyclist is at risk, the system warns the driver and, in a final stage, applies the brakes to slow down the VW Polo within system limits. The Front Assist system also includes the City Emergency Braking function.

City Emergency Braking System

The City Emergency Braking System is a system enhancement of Front Assist and monitors the area in front of the Polo using a radar sensor. The system operates at speeds below 30 km/h. If the driver does not react to an impending collision with a vehicle ahead or a stationary vehicle, the brake system is preconditioned as in Front Assist. If necessary, the City Emergency Braking System then automatically initiates hard braking within system limits to reduce the severity of the impact. In addition, if the pedal force applied by the driver is insufficient, the system intervenes by applying maximum braking force.

Driver Alert System

The Driver Alert System, which comes as standard, detects if the driver has lost concentration and sends them an acoustic warning lasting five seconds. In addition, a break recommendation is displayed in the instrument cluster. If the driver does not take a break within the next 15 minutes, the warning is repeated.

Automatic Post-Collision Braking System

Around a quarter of all accidents that result in personal injury involve multiple collisions. The Polo's Automatic Post-Collision Braking System can help to avoid secondary collisions or reduce their severity. After an initial collision, the Automatic Post-Collision Braking System automatically initiates a braking action - within system limits - even before the driver can react. This can reduce the severity of the accident and ideally prevent secondary collisions.

Proactive occupant protection system

If the proactive occupant protection system detects a potential accident situation - such as when hard braking is initiated by an activated brake assist system - the seatbelts for the driver and front-seat passenger are automatically pre-tensioned to ensure the best possible protection via the airbag and belt systems. If a highly critical and unstable driving situation is detected - such as severe oversteer or understeer with ESC intervention - the side windows are closed (except for a small gap), as is the sliding sunroof. Background: with the windows and roof nearly closed, the head and side airbags are able to provide optimum support and thus be as effective as possible. As this system is offered in the Polo in conjunction with the standard Front Assist function, the proactive occupant protection system also detects situations in which the distance to the vehicle ahead is critical, and it helps to shorten the vehicle's stopping distance. In hazardous situations, the driver is given a visual and an audible warning and is also warned with a preventative braking jolt.

Park Assist

Park Assist automatically guides the Volkswagen Polo into perpendicular or parallel parking spaces and can reverse the car out of the latter as well. The system is activated by pressing a button on the centre console. Using the indicators, the driver selects the side on which the vehicle is to be parked. Once Park Assist finds a sufficiently large parking space using the ultrasound sensors (40 cm of manoeuvring room at front and rear will suffice), assisted parking can begin. The driver engages reverse gear and only needs to accelerate and brake (an automatic braking function assists in case of insufficient space). The car handles the steering.

Tyre Pressure Loss Indicator

The Tyre Pressure Loss Indicator utilises the wheel speed sensors of the anti-lock brake system (ABS). In case of tyre pressure loss, the rolling radius of the affected wheel decreases, and the wheel turns faster at the same vehicle speed. This allows the system to detect insufficient air pressure, and warns the driver. However, the Tyre Pressure Loss Indicator does not relieve the driver of the obligation to check tyre pressures.

2022 Volkswagen Polo GTI Review

As the Golf GTI is the most iconic hot hatch in the Volkswagen stable and the Golf R the best-performing, the Polo GTI is rather an overlooked member of the German brand’s hot hatch fraternity. However, when you look at the current Polo GTI, you do have to wonder just why it’s so overlooked, especially at a time when the price of cars and the price of fuel is rising.

Certainly, the Volkswagen Polo is a prime example of how much vehicle prices have risen, with the facelifted 2022 model now costing nearly $6000 more than the pre-facelift model did last year. That means the Polo GTI here sits at $38,750 before on-road costs – hardly cheap, but far less than the $53,100 Mk8 Golf GTI. However, it also promises fuel consumption of just 6.5L/100km, which is important when fuel is regularly trading for more than $2 per litre.

Plus, with Volkswagen Australia having ditched the manual gearbox for all Mk8 Golf variants, it means you now aren’t missing out on three-pedal availability by going for the cheaper Polo GTI. Could this then be all the GTI you need in 2022? We grabbed the keys to it to find out.

With no Polo badges visible on the outside of the GTI model, there’s every chance that people will think you’ve opted for the larger Golf. Of course, there are plenty of details such as the wheels, exhausts, headlights, and overall dimensions that will give it away when parked up, but blasting past someone there’s every chance you’ll have them fooled. It even sounds like you’d expect a GTI to – a four-pot rasp with inimitable upshift blips from its DSG transmission.

Having mentioned the dimensions, though, it must be said that if you’d woken up from a coma you entered 20 years ago, you’d also be fooled into thinking this was the new Golf. I myself own an ageing Mk4 Golf GTI which this Polo feels very much identical in size to. If that doesn’t tell you how much bigger even subcompacts have gotten these days, I don’t know what will.

What is unquestionably better than it was back then is packaging, as where an old Golf feels like a small car inside, the Polo is positively spacious considering what it is. Even at 6’2″, I can easily fit in the back with the front seat positioned where I’d have it, which can’t be said for hatchbacks in this class in years prior. There are, of course, some small compromises to be made in a subcompact – the centre console storage cubby is tiny, and there’s no rear centre armrest – but really the mix of maximal interior space in a small exterior package is one that’s just brilliant.

As ever, Volkswagen’s array of technology is great. The new 10.25-inch Digital Cockpit Pro instrument cluster is brilliantly clear and customisable, while the $1500 Sound and Tech Package fitted to my tester is a must-have, with it adding a slick 9.2-inch infotainment touchscreen with sat nav and wireless Apple CarPlay (up from an 8.0-inch screen without nav and wired CarPlay) and a rather brilliant six-speaker 300-watt Beats audio system.

The only worrisome feature in the new Polo – and a few other new Volkswagens – is the capacitive touch sliders in place of traditional buttons and knobs. In practical terms, to change the temperature or radio volume, you slide a finger over these panels to go up or down quickly, or tap them in a specific spot to go up a smaller amount. While I can see the thinking behind them, I can also see why in October, the company announced it will be ditching them after so many complaints. Simply, they’re just not easy enough to use while driving as they’re so much fiddlier.

Otherwise, though, it’s the usual GTI fare inside the Polo, with tartan cloth seats a vibrant and distinctive centrepoint of a cockpit that certainly feels premium enough for a subcompact – although you’d hope it would in one nudging $40k. It’s also worth noting that if you opt for the $300 red paint of my tester, you lose the typical red trim on the dashboard and centre console for a more subtle grey.

Thankfully, there’s a big step up in less obvious tech that helps justify the price hike as well. A centre airbag is one of the key 2022 upgrades, taking the total airbag count to seven. All variants also now score autonomous emergency braking with cyclist detection, lane-keep assist, and front and rear parking sensors.

Style and GTI models also add matrix LED headlights with adaptive high beam for the first time, while adaptive cruise control has become standard and the 18-inch wheels the Polo GTI rides on are also now standard fit – previously, these were only optional. Boot space has also grown to 351 litres, up from 305. Factor in all these less obvious features and you can see where the money has gone.

What remains unchanged in all 2022 Volkswagen Polo models, however, is the powertrains on offer, including the 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder found under the bonnet of the GTI. Developing 147kW and 320Nm, it’s a touch less powerful but torquier than its only real rival at this point, the Hyundai i20 N . However, the Polo GTI is offered exclusively with a six-speed ‘DSG’ dual-clutch automatic transmission, while the i20 N is a manual-only proposition.

As a result, the heavier Polo is a fraction slower, completing the 0-100km/h sprint in a claimed 6.8 seconds. At that rate, it’s hardly an explosive performer, but the breadth of torque on offer means it delivers its power incredibly smoothly and progressively. If there’s anything here that feels particularly premium, it’s the engine.

But the transmission is what reminds you it’s a hot hatch, with the older and more reliable six-speed DSG delivering crisp shifts as it proficiently alternates between its perfectly-spaced ratios. With an automatic this good, even a die-hard manual purist like myself has to concede that it’s simply the better option.

Tight, twisting backroads are where the Polo GTI shines, its front-wheel drive layout and short footprint making it a dream to duck and weave around hairpin bends. With suspension that feels controlled but forgiving and a steering rack that’s responsive and perfectly weighted, it’s an easy car to drive hard, which is precisely what you’d expect from a hot hatch made by Volkswagen.

What it does lack, though, is drama, which again is to be expected. With all the smoothness and refinement and premium touches, it doesn’t have that raw edge that you’d expect from something like a Renault Clio R.S. (which no longer exists), Peugeot 208 GTI (which also no longer exists), Ford Fiesta ST (which is no longer sold in Australia), Toyota GR Yaris (which is a lot more expensive and impossible to get your hands on at the moment), or the aforementioned Hyundai i20 N (which is all that’s really left at this point).

While you’d likely choose one of these options for a backroad blast – at least, if you still could – those who are rational will see that the Polo is the one you’d choose to live with. I even managed to match the 6.5L/100km claim on daily driving duties, although a lot of time spent pushing it as hard as I could saw the final figure increase to a still very reasonable 7.9L/100km after 550km of driving.

Really, it’s this or the Hyundai if you’re after a sporty subcompact, and that makes the decision as easy as choosing between hard cheddar and brie. If you want something more refined, subtle, and easy to live with that has a slick automatic transmission, the Polo GTI is the way to go; if you’d rather row your own gears and let everyone know you’re an enthusiast, go for the i20 N.

For what it’s worth, the i20 N does present a big initial saving, but there’s no denying that the Polo is the more mature hot hatch – as a GTI-badged Volkswagen always has been. The real story here, though, is that the Polo GTI will now do just about everything a Golf GTI will in the real world, short of the outright speed. With a $14k saving on the table and money consciousness at an all-time high, there’s no shame in going for the smaller GTI – it’s arguably now all the GTI you really need.

2022 Volkswagen Polo GTI List Price: $38,750 | As Tested: $40,550

• 8/10 Performance - 8/10
• 8.5/10 Ride & Handling - 8.5/10
• 8/10 Tech & Features - 8/10
• 8/10 Practicality - 8/10
• 7.5/10 Value for Money - 7.5/10

Pros:  Balanced yet forgiving suspension, slick engine and DSG combo, packs a premium array of interior and safety technology Cons: Not the fastest nor the most thrilling hot hatch, massive price hike compared to the pre-facelift model, no manual gearbox on offer

In a nutshell: It might not offer much in the way of drama, but the 2022 Volkswagen Polo GTI is an utterly solid hot hatch that’s just as good on the daily drive as it is on the tightest backroad you can find. Even more impressively, with a vast array of standard tech and enough interior space, it does everything a Golf GTI does – sans outright pace – for over $14k less. That’s a win in my books.

Full Disclosure: The vehicle tested here was provided by Volkswagen Australia for a week with a full tank of fuel. All additional fuel expenses were covered by the author.

The mph figures given in brackets in the table relate exclusively to instrument clusters with mile readings.

Driving downhill with CCS

If the CCS cannot maintain the vehicle speed when driving downhill, brake the vehicle with the foot brake and shift down gear if necessary.

Automatic switch-off

The control will be switched off automatically or switched off temporarily:

• If the system detects a fault that could impair the function of the CCS.
• If the vehicle speed is higher than the stored speed for an extended period with the accelerator pedal depressed.
• If the brake pedal or clutch pedal is depressed.
• If you change gear on a manual gearbox.
• If the airbag is triggered.

Cruise control

Automatically keeps your car moving at a safe, constant speed..

Our cruise control system 1 works electronically to help regulate your car's speed. It reduces the stress on drivers and offers you more comfort on long journeys by keeping the vehicle at a constant speed. It's particularly effective when you have to stay within speed limits for a long way - when driving through miles of roadworks on the motorway, for example - and cuts the risk of your speed creeping up by accident.

The system works by memorising and maintaining the speed you select. It's very flexible, too. You can increase or reduce speed manually - to a defined value - and you also have the option of returning to the speed most recently memorised.

The cruise control system can be turned off simply by pressing a button or by pressing the brake or clutch pedals. For safety reasons, the cruise control system should not be used in heavy traffic or in difficult road conditions, such as heavy rain or ice.

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)

Volkswagen ’s safe distance technology ..

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) helps to avoid accidents by always keeping your car at a safe distance from the traffic ahead.

Working together with the radar-controlled Front Assist traffic monitoring system, our adaptive cruise control system keeps you at a safe distance from the vehicle in front, making driving much easier - whether on motor way journeys or in slow and moving traffic.

As with cruise control, you set the speed at which you want your car to maintain. This is then further enhanced by being equipped with the safe-distance technology using a radar sensor, which modulates your speed based on traffic conditions. The system detects traffic slowing ahead and automatically reduces your speed to match and maintain an appropriate gap to the car in front. If necessary, the system will bring your car to a complete stop.

It does this with the help of the Front Assist system which primes the brakes if it senses a collision is likely, shortening the stopping distance when the driver hits the brake pedal.

How it works

The safe-distance technology 's radar sensor has a range of up to 200 metres and a beam angle of 12 degrees. The radar sensor and control unit are combined into a single unit which is located at the front of the car.

Using the signals from the radar sensor, the control unit computes the distance to the vehicle ahead and your car's speed relative to it. It also works out its lateral position on multi-lane roads. If there are several vehicles within the sensor's field of coverage at the same time, this information is used to select which of the vehicles the system should track. The radar sensor is not capable of detecting stationary obstructions, such as the end of a tailback or crash barriers, however.

If approaching a slower vehicle ahead or if another vehicle cuts in front of you, the adaptive cruise control slows down the car by initiating corrective controls in the engine management and, if necessary, in the braking system too. If the required rate of deceleration exceeds 30% of the vehicle's maximum stopping power, visual and audible warning signals will prompt the driver to apply the brakes manually.

Adaptive Cruise Control V1.5

In addition to the standard Adaptive Cruise Control, this version has a greater operating range of speeds between 0 -130mph.

Adaptive Cruise Control with Predictive Cruise Control

In addition to the above, this updated version of ACC includes:

Road recognition - using information from front and rear cameras and route information, your vehicle will predictively adjust its speed prior to junctions and bends.

Speed Assist - using both the front camera and route information identifies changes in the posted speed limit and automatically adjusts the vehicles speed.

Volkswagen Cars w/ Adaptive Cruise Control (All 11 Models)

Adaptive cruise control has been available mostly in luxury vehicles but is now common in many mainstream cars, including Volkswagens.

The Volkswagen cars, SUVs, and EVs in this post have adaptive cruise control or conventional cruise control system.

Check the corresponding tables to see the relevant model years when the system became available.

Adaptive Cruise Control vs. Cruise Control

The more-basic cruise control in older Volkswagen cars helps the vehicle maintain a steady cruising speed.

Adaptive cruise control (ACC) enhances the conventional cruise control system by adjusting the car’s speed to match the vehicle ahead, slowing or accelerating to the set speed when appropriate.

Newer Volkswagens have the IQ Drive technology that automatically maintains a set distance from the vehicle ahead, with the ability to brake on its own to avoid a potential collision.

Rival mainstream car makers that produce popular models with adaptive cruise control (ACC) include:

• Toyota vehicles with ACC .
• Kia vehicles with ACC .
• Honda vehicles with ACC .
• Hyundai vehicles with ACC .
• Nissan vehicles with ACC .
• Ford vehicles with ACC .

Volkswagen Cars with Adaptive Cruise Control

#1 volkswagen golf.

Although it’s no longer in production after 2021, the Golf hatchback remains a compelling purchase as a used car, with its excellent ride quality and versatile body – even the more-powerful Golf R is a competent daily driver .

All Volkswagen Golf models from 2003 to 2021 had standard cruise control that enabled a steady highway cruising speed.

Only in 2002 when the system first became available was cruise control not available at all trim levels.

#2 Volkswagen Polo

Although the VW Polo isn’t available on American shores, it’s a popular little car sold globally in Europe and many other countries.

Except for the latest generation that debuted in 2022, Volkwagen Polos from 2009 to 2021 had cruise control in the pricier variants, and all pre-2009 models only had the system as an optional add-on.

#3 Volkswagen Beetle

The discontinued Volkswagen Beetle had cruise control as a standard provision from 2012 to 2019.

#4 Volkswagen Jetta

In a class with all-stars like Honda Civic , Toyota Corolla , Hyundai Elantra , and Kia Forte – all with adaptive cruise control – the VW Jetta seems somewhat mediocre.

Still, from 2019 onwards, Volkswagen Jettas have had adaptive cruise control (ACC) in their higher trims and the more-basic cruise control in the lower ones.

Cruise control is standard across all Volkswagen Jettas from 2003 to 2018, with the 2001 and 2002 models only having the system in the more-expensive trims.

#5 Volkswagen Passat

2021 and 2022 Volkswagen Passat sedans have standard adaptive cruise control, while models from 2016 to 2020 only had the system in the higher trims.

Cruise control is standard across all Volkswagen Passat from 2001 to 2015, and older models before that period do not have the cruise management system.

2022 marks this midsize car’s final model year stateside.

#6 Volkswagen Arteon

This 2019 debutant is a unique large hatchback with sleek styling and sporty handling.

All Volkswagen Arteon models have at least the basic cruise control system, with the higher trims carrying the more-sophisticated adaptive cruise control (ACC) before ACC became standard from 2022 onwards.

Volkswagen SUVs with Adaptive Cruise Control

#7 volkswagen taos.

Since its introduction in 2022, the Volkswagen Taos subcompact SUV has had adaptive cruise control in the upper trims and cruise control in the lower ones.

#8 Volkswagen Tiguan

This model stands out among small SUVs with its three rows of seats.

Volkswagen Tiguans from 2018 onwards have had adaptive cruise control or cruise control, depending on the trim level.

All VW Tiguan models from 2009 to 2017 had standard cruise control.

#9 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport

This SUV is a two-row version of the VW Atlas.

Since its 2020 debut, the Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport has had adaptive cruise control in the upper trims and conventional cruise control in the lower ones.

#10 Volkswagen Atlas

This SUV is a three-row midsize, seating up to seven.

Like the two-row variant, the Volkswagen Atlas with an extra row of seats has cruise control in the base trim and the more sophisticated adaptive cruise control in the costlier ones.

Volkswagen Electric Vehicle with Adaptive Cruise Control

#11 volkswagen id.4.

As the German marque’s pioneering electric SUV, Volkswagen ID.4 models have adaptive cruise control with lane centering across all trim levels.

• Beschrijving

In elke Polo 6R (2009-2014) kan cruisecontrol worden ingebouwd. Wij kunnen soms aan de hand van uw kenteken of chassisnummer nakijken wat er benodigd is om cruisecontrol te realiseren in uw Volkswagen Polo.

Met de originele cruise control kunt u besparen op brandstofkosten en eventuele boetes voorkomen, omdat de cruisecontrol een constante snelheid handhaaft. Deze zal versnellen (gasgeven) als u een bijvoorbeeld een viaduct op rijdt en vertragen (gas los) als u hier af rijdt. Tevens zit er een geheugenknop op, dit is de RES knop. Dit staat voor RESUME. Dan versnelt de auto naar de laatst ingestelde snelheid. Wanneer u remt of de koppeling in trapt zal automatisch de cruise control afslaan. Tevens kunt u natuurlijk ook handmatig de cruise control uitzetten wanneer u deze niet wenst te gebruiken. Als de cruisecontrol in gebruikt is dan zal er een groen lampje in uw instrumentenpaneel oplichten. Enorm veel rijgemak voor een kleine prijs!

Het is van belang dat de BCM (boordnetmodule) van uw Polo toereikend is voor inbouw van een cruisecontrol in de Polo. Mocht deze niet toereikend zijn, dan kunnen wij ook de BCM vervangen. Mocht uw auto voorzien zijn van een start/stop systeem (meestal uitvoering BlueMotion) dan is de BCM sowieso geschikt.

Leveringsomvang:

– Nieuwe en originele VW stuurkolomschakelaar (hendels tbv richtingaanwijzers en ruitenwissers) incl cruise controlfunctie – Kabelboom tbv cruise control – Handleiding voor montage indien noodzakelijk

Wilt u zeker weten of uw Polo geschikt is voor het achteraf inbouwen van cruise control? Neem dan contact met ons op via 058 750 5956 of via ons contactformulier.

PRECISION CRUISE is a retrofit electronic cruise control system that provides all the functionality and convenience of Original Equipment systems, along with many enhanced features. This unit comes pre-programed for your specific vehicle and the full vehicle compatibility list can be found under the compatibility tab above.

Luxury and Convenience

Our PRECISION CRUISE Control Systems take all the stress and frustration out of long distance travelling. Simply activate the Cruise Control and remove your foot from the accelerator pedal for a much smoother and more comfortable driving experience. Should you wish to increase or decrease your speed to suit driving conditions or traffic flow speeds, the cruise control provides the option to increase or decrease your speed by pressing the respective button on the cruise control arm.

Dual Memory Settings

The PRECISION CRUISE Control System features the ability to preset two Cruise speeds in the Cruise memory. This enables you to drive at your most commonly used cruise speeds at the touch of a button, without having to drive to the desired speed first.

Original Equipment Quality Equipment

All of our Cruise Contol Equipment is OE Quality and comes complete with a 'Plug n Play' Pedal Harness to reduce Installation time and cost. Our Universal Cruise Arm (pictured) is an OE Quality Cruise Arm with all the required functionality and performance of original equipment systems. However, there is also the option on certain vehicles to incorporate the Original Equipment Cruise Control Switch for an even more professional installation.

Independent Speed Limiting

The Cruise Control also features the option of setting an Independent Speed Limit. This is controlled via the Universal Cruise Arm and can be activated to prevent the driver from speeding in areas where speed limit restrictions are enforced. The Cruise control can still be used independently below this limit. Please note that this facility is not available on vehicles where the Original Equipment Cruise Switch has been installed.

Reduces the Risk of Speeding Fines

Recently, there has been a dramatic increase in the number of speed cameras and police surveillance equipment on the roads. Using the PRECISION CRUISE enables the driver to mainatain a safe (and legal) speed limit without the worry of being penalised.

Driving Optimisation and Fuel Saving

When the Cruise Control is activated, the vehicle speed is regulated more than 50 times per second, optimising driving performance. This in turn can also reduce fuel and transportation costs without comprimising vehicle performance.

Check out Moscow’s NEW electric river trams (PHOTOS)

Water transportation has become another sector for the eco-friendly improvements the Moscow government is implementing. And it means business. On July 15, 2021, on the dock of Moscow’s ‘Zaryadye’ park, mayor Sergey Sobyanin was shown the first model of the upcoming river cruise boat.

The model of the electrical boat with panoramic windows measures 22 meters in length. The river tram - as Muscovites call them - has a passenger capacity of 42, including two disabled seats. The trams will also get cutting edge info panels, USB docking stations, Wi-Fi, spaces for scooters and bicycles, as well as chairs and desks for working on the go. The boats will be available all year round, according to ‘Mosgortrans’, the regional transport agency. 

Passengers will be able to pay with their ‘Troika’ public transport card, credit cards or bank cards. 

The main clientele targeted are people living in Moscow’s river districts - the upcoming trams will shorten their travel time in comparison to buses and other transportation by five times, Mosgortrans stated. 

As the river trams are being rolled out, Moscow docks will also see mini-stations, some of which will also be outfitted with charging docks for speed-charging the boats.  

Moscow is set to announce the start of the tender for construction and supply in September 2021. The first trams are scheduled to launch in June 2022 on two routes - from Kievskaya Station, through Moscow City, into Fili; and from ZIL to Pechatniki. 

“Two full-scale routes will be created in 2022-2023, serviced by 20 river trams and a number of river stations. We’ll continue to develop them further if they prove to be popular with the citizens,” the Moscow mayor said .

The specified fuel consumption and emission data are determined in accordance with the measurement procedures prescribed by law. 1 January 2022, the WLTP test cycle completely replaced the NEDC test cycle and therefore no NEDC values are available for new type approved vehicles after that date.

This information does not refer to a single vehicle and is not part of the offer but is only intended for comparison between different types of vehicles. Additional equipment and accessories (additional components, tyre formats, etc.) can alter relevant vehicle parameters such as weight, rolling resistance and aerodynamics, affecting the vehicle's fuel consumption, power consumption, CO 2 emissions and driving performance values in addition to weather and traffic conditions and individual driving behavior.

Due to more realistic testing conditions, fuel consumption and CO 2 emissions measured according to WLTP will in many cases be higher than the values measured according to NEDC. As a result, the taxation of vehicles may change accordingly as of 1 September 2018. For further information on the differences between WLTP and NEDC, please visit www.volkswagen.de/wltp .

Further information on official fuel consumption data and official specific CO 2 emissions for new passenger cars can be found in the "Guide to fuel economy, CO 2 emissions and power consumption for new passenger car models", which is available free of charge from all sales dealerships and from DAT Deutsche Automobil Treuhand GmbH, Hellmuth-Hirth-Str. 1, D-73760 Ostfildern, Germany and at www.dat.de/co2 .
