Auto Car | 2009 Volkswagen Polo | Volkswagen is introducing the fifth generation of the Polo at the Geneva International Motor Show (March 5 to 15) – the new edition of one of the most influential German cars of our times.
Coming to Australia early next year is the all-new Volkswagen Polo, which was officially launched at the 2009 Geneva Auto Salon.
Showing off a fresh new design that ties it in closely with the new VW Golf and Scirocco models, the new 2009 model Polo's contemporary style is expected to generate lots of discussion at the Geneva Motor Show.
The new car is lighter than it's forebear and will be a better handling vehicle thanks to revised suspension and steering.
Some of the features of the new Polo include turning lights integrated in the front fog lights, side curtain airbags (head airbag system for front and rear passengers), radio and radio-navigation systems and integrated hands-free telephone systems.
A panorama sunroof and bi-xenon headlights will also be offered and a centre armrest for the driver is also available on the small car.
This model is the fifth generation Volkswagen Polo and apart from the new design, one of the car's biggest drawcards will be its efficient engine range.
Though no models have been inked in for the Australian market, there are seven to choose to from, including four petrol and three diesel units.
Ranging from 1.2-litres to 1.6-litres in capacity, various manual transmissions and the new 7-speed dual clutch transmission (DSG) will be offered.

Fuel consumption has been lowered to hybrid-car levels. The new 1.2-litre TSI petrol engine is a turbo-charged 4-cylinder unit with 77kW (105hp) and uses just 5.5 litres of fuel per 100 kilometres (129 g/km CO2).
When the Polo 1.6 TDI diesel engine is paired with the “BlueMotion package”, its average fuel consumption of 3.8L/100 kilometres and 96g/km of CO2 output officially makes it the most fuel efficient and lowest emitting 5-seater diesel in the world.
Dr. Martin Winterkorn, Chairman of the Board of Management at the Volkswagen Group said: "Through the combination of the car’s design and technology, aligned with forthcoming market requirements, we have repeated our achievements in the recently launched new Golf in the class below.
"This takes us to an entirely new level of high customer value and efficiency among small cars and indeed at prices that are still affordable," says Dr. Winterkorn.
Along with 5-star safety ratings and new driver assistance programs, the new model will be begin making its way into European dealers throughout 2009 and will come to Australia and other international markets in 2010.
