The Polo Pedigree

The Polo Pedigree

Date: 2013-10-25
At the top of the pile of Polo models you will find the formidable Polo GTI. A powerful 132 kW hatch that lives up to its legendary name with superior handling properties combined with uncompromising engine dynamics and a maximum of safety. The list of high-tech features runs through the Polo GTI like a common theme. Take the engine: This Polo is powered by a 1.4-litre TSI with petrol direct injection plus turbo and supercharging. The combination of direct injection, supercharger and turbocharger will generate plenty of excitement. The 132 kW 16-valve four-cylinder engine reaches its maximum power at 6,200 rpm. Its maximum torque of 250 Newton metres is also impressive for an engine of this size.

Power is transferred to the front wheels via a 7-speed DSG. An electronic transverse differential lock (XDS) reduces understeer and improves handling in fast driving through curves.

The Polo GTI is extremely agile and super efficient. Weighing 1,269 kg, the Polo GTI accelerates to 100 km/h in just 6.9 seconds and reaches a top speed of 229 km/h. At the same time, it is the most fuel-efficient and lowest emitting GTI of all time. Combined fuel consumption is just 5.9 litres per 100 kilometres. 

It is no wonder that the Polo won South African Car of The Year and World Car of The Year amongst other titles. Get down to McCarthy Volkswagen Umhlanga and take a Polo for a test drive. Their offer on a 1.4 Polo Comfortline is really hard to beat and represents exceptional value for money. 

Pop in at 6 - 8 Sunset Crescent Umhlanga Ridge and get behind the wheel. Call them on 031 566 9700 for more information.
