Volkswagen has unveiled its Polo three-door model ahead of the car’s Frankfurt Motor Show debut next month. The Polo three-door is based on the standard five-door version of the hatch, but offers buyers a slightly sportier option.
The new Polo three-door will be available with six different engine options (three gas, three diesel) – ranging from 60 horsepower to 105 horsepower – including a highly-efficient BlueMotion diesel. The Polo BlueMotion churns up a rather pedestrian 75 horsepower, but more than makes up for any lack of power with fuel economy topping 70 mpg.
Buyers can choose between a traditional manual or VW’s seven-speed duel-clutch DSG gearbox.
The Polo three-door will be available in three trim lines — Trendline, Comfortline and Highline. The Trendline is the cheapest Polo three-door model at 12,150 euros, but offers buyers standard stability control, power windows and day-time running lights.
Stepping up to the mid-level Comfortline (14,150 euros) adds color-matched side mirrors and door handles, chrome trim, 15-inch wheels, air conditioning, remote unlock and split-folding rear seats. Buyers opting for the 15,900 euro Highline will be rewarded with integrated fog lights, leather wrapped steering wheel, hand brake and gear knob, center armrest, a multi-function display and a tire pressure monitoring system.
The Polo three-door is slated to hit the European market before the end of the year.
