Volkswagen has not confirmed renewal of the VW Cross Polo for the global market. With the VW T-Cross concept-based B-SUV arriving next year, the off-road-styled adventure variant could ride into the sunset when sales of the Polo Mk5 cease.
The 2017 VW Polo comes in Trendline, Comfortline and Highline grades and the Beats special edition model. Optional packages are in the form of R-Line, Black and Style. Atop the range is the GTI variant with the sportiest styling. Noteworthy features of the sixth-gen VW Polo are Full-LED headlights, LED daytime running lights, 18-inch alloy wheels, LED tail lamps, LED tail lights, panoramic roof, second generation Active Info Display fully-digital instrument cluster, 8.0-inch glass-encased infotainment system with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and MirrorLink, wireless charging and 300-watt Beats sound system. Availability of the features depend on the grade, optional package and variant.
