???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Modern power plants for driving fun and environmental protection
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? New TDI engines for entry to diesel range
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? All engines meet the Euro 4 norm
The new Polo demonstrates its first-class qualities as an all-round talent in the diversity of its engines. Five petrol engines with outputs ranging from 40 kW / 55 hp to 74 kW / 100 hp and four state-of-the-art TDI engines with outputs from 51 kW / 70 hp to 96 kW / 130 hp are available ?????????????????????????????????????? this selection meets a wide range of customer needs. Whether as a particularly economic basic engine, a dynamic alternative or a high-torque and economic diesel ?????????????????????????????????????? the new Polo has the right engine for all needs. When it comes to diesel engines, which are also becoming increasingly popular in Germany, the Polo has a modern range made up exclusively of TDI power plants using modern unit injector technology.
The high level of Polo engines is also shown in the emissions figures as all petrol and diesel engines fulfil the Euro 4 emissions norm. A diesel particulate filter is being prepared for the new Polo.
The servicing intervals are another strength of the Polo engines. They are not strict, instead the driver is informed via the service interval display when servicing is necessary. Therefore the regular service is only due after up to two years or a maximum of 30,000 kilometres.
Polo 1.2 2V delivering 40 kW / 55 hp
The 1.2-litre delivering 40 kW / 55 hp is a particularly economic entry-level engine in the Polo range. The three-cylinder two-valve engine combines economy with the latest technology. Thanks to its balancer shaft, the small three cylinder is a match for any four cylinder in terms of refinement. At the same time, it makes use of the advantages of its three-cylinder construction ??????????????????????????????????????? and that means lower consumption, above all. The basic engine for the Polo consumes just 5.8 litres of Super petrol every 100 kilometres.
Polo 1.2 4V delivering 47 kW / 65 hp
The second candidate among the petrol engines available for the Polo also has three cylinders making up a capacity of 1.2 litres. An essential difference from the basic engine is in the cylinder head where the engine has four valves for each combustion chamber. This engine, which was very popular among customers in the previous Polo generation, benefits from greater performance and lower consumption. The 47 kW / 65 hp three cylinder consumes just 5.9 litres of fuel on average. Compared with a conventional four-cylinder engine, the modern four-valve power plant allows for noticeable fuel savings above all in city traffic.
Polo 1.4 4V delivering 55 kW / 75 hp
The 1.4-litre engine starts off the group of four cylinders in the latest Polo range. This power plant has also been conceived as a four-valve engine and, delivering 55kW / 75hp, provides enough potential for dynamic driving. From 2,200 rpm, the engine supplies 90 percent of its maximum torque that peaks at 126 Nm. In addition to the lively performance, the 1.4-litre engine has an impressive low consumption at partial load and the total average consumption of 6.4 litres of Super every 100 kilometres does not effect the running costs of the new Polo when equipped with this engine.
In addition to its dynamic properties, the 1.4-litre engine can also contribute to convenience ??????????????????????????????????????? i.e. when it is combined with the optional four-speed automatic gearbox in the Polo.
Polo 16V delivering 74 kW / 100 hp
Fancy a bit more power? If you look for three-digit output figures when choosing an engine, the second of the 1.4-litre engines will be for you. This power plant is closely related to the 55-kW engine, but has been optimised in a few areas to gain more power. The whole intake system has been modified and been given expanded inlet and outlet channels. Together with a different cam shaft, it allows a higher air throughput contributing to a higher performance level. Accordingly, a top speed of 188 km/h is the dynamic result.
Polo 1.4 FSI delivering 63 kW / 86 hp
The modern alternative among the petrol engines in the Polo range is provided by the 1.4-litre petrol engine with direct injection (FSI). Delivering 63 kW / 86 hp, it successfully unites dynamics and economy. As usual with the FSI engines from Volkswagen, this power plant also features extremely low consumption values. The Polo FSI consumes just 5.8 litres of Super every 100 kilometres on average. The consumption advantage compared with a petrol engine with conventional mixture preparation is noticeable above all in city traffic. The Polo FSI consumes 13 percent less fuel than a conventional four-cylinder engine in the city.
Polo 1.4 TDI delivering 51 kW / 70 hp
The new Polo also sees the addition of two more TDIs to the engine range. Like the TDI engines that have already been used, they easily meet the limit values of the Euro 4 emissions norm and are thus among the most environmentally friendly diesel engines ever.
The Polo diesel range will start with a 1.4-litre delivering 51 kW / 70 hp. The three-cylinder engine equipped with unit injectors, usual for this type, supplies powerful torque at low revs: At 1,600 rpm, the three-cylinder produces an impressive 155 Nm. This powerful performance is combined with a great reserve when it comes to fuel consumption. The new diesel consumes just 4.5 litres every 100 kilometres on average.
Polo 1.4 TDI delivering 59 kW / 80 hp
This is another new TDI in the current Polo range, which also has three cylinders and a capacity of 1.4 litres. However, delivering 59 kW / 80 hp, it offers noticeable additional performance compared with the basic diesel. Modifications to the electronic engine control as well as adaptation of the fuel flow quantity boost the power and torque of the three-cylinder diesel. Supplying a maximum torque of 195 Nm at 2,200 rpm, the three-cylinder pulls away swiftly and delivers impressive power. When equipped with this engine, the Polo reaches a top speed of 174 km/h and remains exceedingly efficient ??????????????????????????????????????? one of the typical TDI virtues. On average, this TDI is happy with a mere 4.4 litres of diesel every 100 kilometres.
Polo 1.9 TDI delivering 74 kW / 100 hp
The economy of a diesel engine and the dynamics of a sports power plant ??????????????????????????????????????? combining these two qualities is a matter of course today for the modern diesel engines from Volkswagen. The two four-cylinder TDIs available for the Polo easily fulfil these criteria. The 74 kW / 100 hp 1.9-litre diesel guarantees extremely lively performance with low consumption. A top speed of 188 km/h is possible with this engine as is an average consumption of just 4.9 litres of diesel every 100 kilometres. Equipped with this engine, the Polo features impressive acceleration values thanks to the maximum torque of 240 Nm.
Polo 1.9 TDI delivering 96 kW / 130 hp
This 1.9-litre, 96 kW / 130 hp TDI also turns the Polo into a real sports car. The extremely powerful maximum torque of 310 Nm at just 1900 rpm also contributes to the impressive performance of the Polo. The compact diesel sports car accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 9.2 seconds and can reach a top speed of 206 km/h. The six-speed manual gearbox, which comes as standard with the Polo??????????????????????????????????????s most powerful diesel, fits in with the sporty character of this engine.
Three gearboxes available
Four, five or six gears define the current gearbox range for the new Polo. Most of the models use a manual five-speed gearbox, while the high-torque TDI engines are combined with a transmission that has been specially adapted to the requirements.
If you are looking for convenience in the Polo and hate having to constantly push down the clutch in slow-moving traffic, the automatic version of the Polo is ideal for you. Volkswagen is offering an optional four-speed automatic gearbox for the 55 kW / 75 hp, 1.4-litre petrol engine.
Sporty drivers definitely do not mind gear changes and the sporty Polo TDI with the 96 kW / 130 hp, 1.9-litre TDI engine comes with a six-speed gearbox as standard. It reliably transfers the extremely high torque of this power plant to the driven wheels and allows fast gear shifts for any driving situation.
