Apparently remembering the success of the first people's car, Volkswagen company decided to release its cheap and mass-produced car on the Russian market - Volkswagen polo. The new car has a traditional German quality, and reliability, and is designed for the widest consumer. And although this is not, its price is quite low. Assembly will be carried out at the company's new plant in Kaluga.

The appearance of this model was preceded by various tests and tests in various geographical regions of Russia, as well as fuel quality control. Therefore the car has reliable engine, good anti-corrosion treatment of the body and, of course, a suspension adapted to our roads. Enamels and chrome-plated body elements are also resistant to natural influences.

Reviews from Volkswagen Polo sedan owners

The car is equipped with a reliable and unpretentious gasoline engine with a displacement of 1.6 liters and a power of 105 horsepower. Thanks to this volume, the engine perfectly combines traction and economical characteristics, but it will be far from small.

Since the popularity of automatic transmissions in Russia is growing, the Volkswagen Polo sedan has both manual and automatic gearboxes. The automatic transmission has a manual shift function “Tiptronic”, which provides the driver with excellent dynamics and comfort.

The dimensions of the Volkswagen Polo are the largest in this class. Its width is 1699 mm, length - 4384 mm, height - 1465 mm, which is not far from the dimensions. The wide wheelbase allows rear seat passengers to feel quite cozy and comfortable. Volume luggage compartment is 460 liters.

IN positive reviews owners can often be heard about high level car safety. So, in the basic version, the Volkswagen Polo has two airbags for the passenger. front seat and for the driver.

Top versions additionally offer other safety systems that are often unavailable in other budget-class cars, in particular, side airbags and ESP system.

For a full-fledged spare wheel in the trunk and foldable rear seats it is clear that the car was designed for Russian motorist. The packages were also selected taking into account our needs. For example, the Comforline version has seat heating and electric heating windshield.

The basic equipment for the Volkswagen Polo sedan is called Trendline and includes:

Airbags for front passenger and driver;

Height-adjustable driver's seat;

Steering column adjustable for reach and height;

Electromechanical power steering;

Electric windows for all doors;

Electronic immobilizer;

When testing the sedan, we were pleasantly surprised by the car's handling: it confidently holds on a high-speed straight line, quickly and easily dives into turns. Like any front-wheel drive car with a properly tuned chassis, the “Russian German” straightens its trajectory as expected and immediately returns to it when the gas is released. There are absolutely no surprises or provocations - everything is in accordance with the strict rules of German decency. There is no racing excitement or sharpness in his behavior, but on our roads this is perhaps more positive quality than a disadvantage.

To be honest, our team expected more discomfort from the Polo’s tight suspension on the uneven surfaces of our tracks. But quite quickly we found out that Volkswagen springs and shock absorbers regularly filter out all sorts of road trifles, but also protect the body from impacts and shocks when hitting speed bumps or when a wheel gets into deep and dangerous potholes. Surprisingly, in terms of the energy intensity of its suspension, the German sedan is in no way inferior to its closest competitor, the Logan. And the Polo's noise insulation is all right: the hum from the tires becomes audible in the cabin only at speeds above 140 km/h. The only thing that may irritate you is the sound of the engine: barely audible idle speed The rumble under load quickly develops into an annoying and loud growl.

Price for Volkswagen Polo sedan

As for the price, at first glance, Volkswagen prices are very attractive. And this is true. Look - a modern European car with a displacement engine, electric windows, central locking, two airbags and a trip computer - you can buy a Volkswagen Polo sedan for 399 thousand rubles. The only thing missing here is ABS, and possibly air conditioning. But these benefits are available in Comfortline, and the cost will be 501,000 rubles.

Therefore, with such pricing policy, and its excellent characteristics, the Volkswagen Polo sedan can truly become the most people's car in Russia.

Today we'll be reviewing an excellent budget sedan from the German concern Volkswagen, which decided to please Russians with its people's car back in 2009.

You waiting for photos and prices for Polo sedan, as well as detailed technical specifications a car that has become very successful in its short existence on our market. In 2013 alone, sold in Russia more than 72 thousand auto Polo sedan. The car is confidently among the top 5 best-selling passenger cars Russia. Actually, which is not surprising, the price-quality ratio is at a good level.

The history of the creation of the Polo sedan is quite typical for cars of this class. Volkswagen engineers took the ready-made Polo hatchback, which was very successful in Europe, and added a trunk to it. At the same time, removing expensive finishing materials from the interior, replacing them with cheaper and more practical ones. In addition, options power units the resulting sedan has only one, this gasoline engine volume of 1.6 liters (recently a Style version has appeared with a 1.6 liter engine, but with a power of 85 horses). And a couple of transmissions: a 5-speed manual and a 6-speed automatic. In general, nothing superfluous, budget car Volkswagen is not supposed to.

Another success factor Polo sedan became domestic assembly. If you ask where the Volkswagen Polo sedan is made, the answer is Kaluga region. By the way, the success of this car forced the Skoda company to make another car based on the Polo sedan, which will also be made in Kaluga, this is Skoda Rapid. Assembly of Rapid has already begun. The car will soon appear in showrooms. In addition to minor changes in the interior and appearance Skoda Rapid although it looks like a sedan, it is actually a liftback, since the trunk lid opens along with the rear window, a la Octavia. But that’s not all, another car is being prepared on the basis of the Polo sedan, called the Seat Toledo, which may also soon appear in Russia.

Today, the main competitors of the Polo sedan are Solaris from Hyundai, Kia Rio, which are assembled on the same platform and a single production site in St. Petersburg, and the French Peugeot 301. All these cars are approximately in the same price niche. Sedans have similar dimensions. Actually, buyers choose between the Korean approach to building a car and the German one. At the dawn of its appearance, the practical and roomy German caused such a stir that the queues for the car stretched for many months. But today everything is not so scary; buying a Polo sedan will not be difficult.

Appearance VW Polo sedan very strict and laconic, in line with the general trend of corporate style. Although the car looks like its predecessor hatchback, they are completely different cars. For example, few people know, but the suspension of the Polo sedan is from the 4th generation Golf. According to the designers, it is she who is able to withstand not very good Russian roads. The car body is completely galvanized, since the climatic conditions in our country are very specific.

Video Volkswagen Polo sedan

Quite interesting, although not fresh video review and test drive Polo sedan.

Crash test video EuroNcap There is no Polo sedan, since the car is not intended for Western Europe, for which they tested its fellow hatchback. In tests in 2009, when, by the way, the sedan version of the Volkswagen Polo hatchback appeared, it received 5 stars.

By the way, it is interesting to compare the Polo sedan with its competitors; there is also a video on this subject where the German sedan is compared with the Korean Solaris and the French Logan.

Part two of this video comparative test Polo Sedan, Logan and Solaris.

To summarize everything that has been written, I would like to note that Volkswagen has correctly chosen its budget niche with this model. I would like to believe that recent fluctuations in the euro exchange rate will not increase the price of this wonderful car too much.

Reading time: 6 minutes.

Newly beautiful and still reliable - this is how the Kaluga “state employee” Volkswagen Polo sedan is advertised today. Before the honest working class had time to acquire fresh versions of the car, released in as many as 4 trim levels - from the inexpensive Conceptline and Trendline to the stuffed Comfortline and Highline, how German manufacturer dealt another blow to Russian market. The model range at domestic Volkswagen dealer showrooms has been replenished with a new “star” - the Allstar version.

Available car versions

But let's start with the analysis in order. For true “Spartans”, the Kaluga plant assembles Conceptline. This is the basic package with the current price tag of 579,500 rubles. If you join the program for recycling old “utensils”, then you can remove the “ballast” of 50,000 rubles from the price. You won't find anything remarkable in the equipment package here.

All equipment corresponds to the standard equipment of any modern car. Conventional 14-inch steel wheels, electronic ABS, rear window heater, electric windows, simple acoustics with 4 speakers, fabric seat upholstery and small elements of artificial leather - nothing extra.

Additionally, future owners of the Volkswagen Polo sedan can choose various metallic shades for the body, as well as a couple of colors for the interior.

Before the “pumping” of the engine compartment, which occurred in November 2015, the manufacturer installed an internal combustion engine with a volume of 1.6 liters and an output of 85 hp on the “base”. After restyling, car enthusiasts had the opportunity to purchase a new basic Volkswagen Polo with a 90-horsepower engine. There have been no changes to the transmission - next to the naturally aspirated engine under the hood there is still a 5-speed manual transmission.

The Trendline package looks a little more interesting. Without a recycling discount, the Kaluga sedan can be picked up from official dealer for 613,500 rub. Perhaps the only difference between the Trendline and the basic version in the equipment package is the presence of the Climatic air conditioning system in the former. But this is the case with the 90-horsepower Kaluga driver.

There are also plenty of innovations in the cabin: climate control, electrically heated windshield, high-quality Livon fabric on the seats in black or beige, a central armrest, central locking with remote control, anti-theft and an upgraded RCD320 radio - all this complements the already tight "state employee" technical equipment package.

In the pre-restyling version, the consumer could get a 105-horsepower naturally aspirated engine with a volume of 1.6 liters. Now happy owners Kaluga sedan in the Highline configuration they are driven by an engine with 110 hp. True, some choose a 5-speed manual transmission, others prefer an automatic transmission with 6 gears.

Finally, the last Kaluga “fighter”, who recently joined model range manufacturer - Allstar equipment. A “brazen” car with a daring Copper Orange color burst into dealer showrooms recently. Essentially new option Russian sedan released into the wild for those who appreciate fashion and style. As an incentive (and, of course, to stimulate sales), the “officials” launched a March promotion for “state employees.” The discount reaches as much as 90,000 rubles, and the price tag is now 599,500 rubles.

"Maximum speed" new configuration Ol Star has practically nothing to add. Side mirrors, in addition to being heated and electrically adjustable, have electric drive for folding. The electric windows have a comfort opening function. Instead of a conventional steering wheel, there is a multifunctional “steering wheel”, a touch screen and telephone calls. On this technical advantages are probably ending.

But how the developers decorated the interior of Ol Star! The lever handles were covered with high-quality leather and stitched with fine stitching. All chairs have expensive Anthracite Pentastripe fabric upholstery, which is highly wear-resistant. The Ol Star pedals feature stylish aluminum pads. You won't notice it right away.

The star “hero” of the German concern never knew about the 105-horsepower engine. So, among the engine compartment equipment, both modified engines with outputs of 90 and 110 hp are offered. and standard manual and automatic transmissions.

Thus, all configurations of Kaluga cars can be divided into three camps. The first includes the “base” and Trendline with minimal differences from each other. In the second - top-end Comfortline and Highline with a rich package of technical equipment. Finally, the last group can include the bright and emotional Ol Star with an abundance of chrome and decorative ornaments both in the exterior and in the interior of the car.

| Species Volkswagen trim levels Polo

If we look for an analogy of the Volkswagen Polo car that is close and understandable to the domestic reader, then best comparison there will be a Lada “Six”, which was produced between 1976 and 2001. Only Polo, after several restylings and generations, is still produced today and will continue to be produced for quite a long time.
