Volkswagen is adding even more style to its popular supermini, with the launch of the Polo R-Line in the U.K.
On the outside, the R-Line is distinguished by a unique styling pack that consists of deeper, sportier R-Line front and rear bumpers, a black gloss radiator grille with R-Line badging, deeper side sills and 16-inch ‘Mallory’ alloy wheels. Inside, the Polo R-Line features sports seats with ‘Kyalami’ cloth upholstery and an R-Line logo on the headrests, along with a leather-trimmed three-spoke steering wheel with R-Line logo and aluminium-capped pedals, while the roof lining is finished in black cloth.
Standard equipment features include an audio system with six speakers and multi-device interface, for plugging in an iPod or other compatible device, semi-automatic air conditioning and all the usual electronic comforts.
The R-Line is available with just one engine, the existing 1.2-litre 77 kW TSI petrol unit, with a six-speed manual gearbox. This engine propels the Polo R-Line from zero to 100 km/h in 9.7 seconds and on to a top speed of 188 km/h. Fuel consumption is 5.2 L/100km on the combined cycle and CO2 emissions are 124 g/km.
