The Polo

The Blind Spot Monitor warns you about vehicles in your blind spot using an LED indicator in the exterior mirror.¹ And if you still attempt to change lanes despite the warning, it starts to flash to attract more attention. The integrated Rear Traffic Alert warn you if any vehicles start to approach when you are reversing out of a parking space. If you fail to respond to its warning, the system can "prevent" a collision by applying the brake.

The “Rear View” camera enables you to keep an eye on your surroundings when reversing: the area behind the vehicle covered by the camera is displayed on the display of your Infotainment system. “Rear View” also superimposes guidelines onto the image, which can help you to judge the distance correctly.

Adaptive Cruise Control (Exclusive to R-Line and GTI) lets you set the speed you want to travel and the gap you want to allow between you and the car in the front, making life easier on long journeys.

The Polo is German Engineered to the highest of safety standards. ANCAP (Australasian New Car Assessment Program) are the leading independent vehicle safety advocate. If you’d like more details, head to their website and read their safety report on the Polo.

With the 8" Discover Media Satellite Navigation you can stay on track and be entertained en route to your destination.

Easy to read and easy to operate. Besides looking great, the sleek glass display helps make the map more prominent, while dynamic route guidance assists you with turn by turn information.

Only want to see the speedometer and mileage display when you drive? Or more Driving Data? Or the navigation map? Or the title of the song you're listening to? Or more than one of these options? 
It’s literally in your hands: with the multi-function steering wheel, it’s easy to configure your high-resolution optional Active Info Display* yourself. Exactly the way you like it. 

• 10.25 in TFT-LCD colour display
• Choose and customise your view from navigation, driver assistance and vehicle status at your fingertips.

^{*The Active Info Display is an optional extra for the Polo R-Line and Polo GTI specifications for an additional $1,000.}

The apps from your phone in your car

Access your smartphone’s screen, selected apps, maps, and music through App-Connect on your car's touchscreen. You can do this thanks to three innovative technologies: Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™ and MirrorLink® interfaces. The App-Connect allows you to conveniently use selected apps and content right in your Volkswagen, that is easier than ever. 

Is your fellow passenger complaining about being too warm? And you’re feeling too chilly? Or maybe it’s the other way round? With the two-zone temperature control, you can adjust the temperatures for the driver and passenger sides separately. And the climatic air conditioning system can do even more than that: the slower your speed, the quieter the fans. If you operate the windscreen cleaner or engage reverse gear, it automatically switches to air recirculation mode to keep any smells outside. In short: the climate is perfect on every journey in the Polo.

A long journey in the Polo is almost more comfortable than an evening on the sofa thanks to its standard ergonomic seats. The lumbar support available as an option for the Comfortline and Highline equipment packages ensure an even higher level of comfort and extra support for your back. It relieves strain from your back, especially when your muscles can’t take any more on long journeys. The only drawback? You can't transport it to your sofa once your journey has finished.  

The LED headlights with static cornering lighting offer exceptional illumination of the road ahead when turning.
