Comfort At An Affordable Price

Comfort At An Affordable Price

Date: 2013-10-18
When it comes to quality, technology, design and safety, there's only one way to express the Polo: big thinking. But it's not just evident in the car. It's an attitude, a state of mind. It's no longer just business as usual. Things are going to be better than you ever expected. So get ready to get even more than you bargained for. 

The Polo was awarded the 2011 South African Car of the Year and the 2010 World Car of the Year. With dynamic lines and striking angles, the Polo is designed to make an impression. With precision engineering, cutting-edge technology, sporty performance, world-class build quality and a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating, it sets a whole new standard. All of which makes the Polo a compact car with big ambitions.

With crisp, arresting angles and a distinctive, aggressive stance, the Polo's eye-catching lines will stop traffic. With a length of 3,970 mm and a width of 1,682 mm, the proportions of the Polo give it a more upmarket and cosmopolitan appearance. Showing off the bold design DNA of Volkswagen, the Polo makes a more powerful impression, exuding a sporty and athletic appeal.

A compact car doesn't have to mean compromised standards. Featuring a new seating concept, in the Polo both driver and passengers will sit in greater comfort. White, back-lit instruments, a three-spoke steering-wheel and vanity mirrors complement the interior aesthetics, while the height-adjustable driver's seat, front and rear reading lights and remote central locking enhance ergonomics and the overall enjoyment of the vehicle. The ergonomically designed cockpit and cabin architecture, constructed from the highest-quality materials, gives the Polo a sophisticated premium car feel.

The Polo is robust and refined, oozing confidence and style. From headlight to taillight, it's a car that's been German engineered to world-class standards. The exceptional build quality is evident not just in the car as a whole, but in every little facet, from the precision of the gaps and shut lines, to the quality of the finishes, to the opening and closing mechanism of the doors - all underpinned by sheer solidity and remarkable attention-to-detail. In every way, it's the embodiment of Volkswagen quality at its very best.

The Polo is one of the safest compact cars in the world. It punches above its weight with a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating, thanks to safety features like its improved impact resistance, crumple zones, optional ESP, rear fog light, high level rear brake light and ISOFIX child seat mountings. In addition, the Polo features an advanced airbag system with four airbags (a driver and front passenger airbag, and two side airbags) and improved ABS with EBD (Electronic Brake-force Distribution).

Exhilaration overcomes you as you push down on the accelerator of the Polo. From the sculpted, aerodynamic lines on the exterior to the sporty, three-spoke steering wheel on the interior and the new generation engines under the bonnet, every aspect of the Polo seems custom-designed to elicit a sensational driving experience. Get behind the wheel and you'll never want to stop driving.

So come down to McCarthy Volkswagen Umhlanga at 6 - 8 Sunset Crescent, Umhlanga Ridge and drive away in a brand new Polo. Call them on 031 566 9700 for more information.
