In January, Volkswagen South Africa launched the facelift version of the Polo. 1,455 of those new cars found new homes in the first month of the year, and that was before the company even had a chance to launch all derivatives of the 2022 model line. More 1.0-litre three-cylinder turbocharged Polos with DSG automatic transmission are coming to showrooms this month.
The Polo 1.0 TSI 85kW DSG derivatives will join the Polo 1.0 TSI 70kW Manual and Polo GTI derivatives in the showrooms. The 1.0 TSI 85 kW DSG derivatives account for 40% of the sales volume of the Polo model range in SA.

The facelift Polo isn’t the cheapest B-segment car you can buy, but it’s a best-selling car thanks to its attractive design, spacious interior, bold performance and reasonable fuel economy.
The Polo Life 1.0 TSI 85kW DSG, which will be launched this month, comes standard with a digital dashboard display, park distance control (front and rear), power folding mirrors, lumbar support for the driver and front passenger and a leather-covered multifunction steering wheel with paddle shifters and 15-inch Essex alloy wheels.
