2018 Volkswagen Polo drive-away deals announced
All-new not-so-light hatch to kick off from $17,990
Volkswagen Australia has today confirmed drive-away pricing for the 2018 Polo, set to start at $17,990
The base 70TSI Trendline is priced from $17,990 drive-away with a manual, identical to the previous list price. It's the same story for the dual-clutch model, priced from $20,490 drive-away.
Power comes from a 1.0-litre turbo three-cylinder petrol engine, making 70kW of power and 175Nm of torque. The base model rides on steel wheels, but you get city-speed autonomous-emergency braking, tyre-pressure monitoring, a leather steering wheel and an 8.0-inch infotainment screen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
You also get Bluetooth phone connectivity, dual USB ports, cruise control and manual air-conditioning.
Jumping to the 85TSI Comfortline bumps the price to $20,490 in manual guise, or $22,990 with a dual-clutch transmission. Both those prices are just $1000 above the manufacturer's list price.
Buyers get a more powerful 85kW engine, along with alloy wheels, automatic headlights and wipers, an auto-dimming mirror and cloth armrests.
The Launch Edition will cost $21,490 as a manual, or $23,990 with a DSG. Once again, they're both $1000 increases over the list price.
Launch cars get 16-inch wheels, wireless phone charging, rear privacy glass, fog-lights and tinted LED tail-lights.
Metallic paint is a $500 option, as is a $1500 Assistance Package on the Comfortline and Launch Edition – the latter adding adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert and power-folding door mirrors.
Volkswagen Australia has confirmed a sporty R-Line Package will be offered later this year, along with the Active Info Display.
