Beautiful in a new way and still reliable - this is how the Kaluga “state employee” Volkswagen Polo in a sedan is advertised today. The honest working class did not have time to acquire fresh versions of the car, produced in as many as 4 trim levels - from the inexpensive Concept Line and Trendline to the stuffed Comfortline and Highline, as German manufacturer dealt another blow to the Russian market. The model range in domestic Volkswagen dealerships has been replenished with a new “star” - the Allstar version (Ol Star).

Available vehicle versions

But let's start the analysis in order. For true "Spartans" the Kaluga plant assembles Conceptline. This is the basic equipment with the current price tag of 579,500 rubles. If you join the program for the disposal of old "utensils", then you can drop the "ballast" of 50,000 rubles from the price. Nothing remarkable in the equipment package can be found here.

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

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

Before "pumping" engine compartment, which occurred in November 2015, the manufacturer installed an internal combustion engine with a volume of 1.6 liters and a return of 85 hp on the “base”. After restyling, motorists got the opportunity to purchase a new base Volkswagen Polo with a 90-horsepower engine. No changes have happened to the transmission - next to the "aspirated" under the hood, there is still a 5-speed "mechanics".

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 rubles. Perhaps the only difference between the Trendline and the basic version in the equipment package is the presence of the first Climatic air conditioning system. But this is with the 90-strong "Kaluga".

There are also enough innovations in the cabin: climate control, electric windshield heating, high-quality Livon brand fabric on black or beige seats, central armrest, central locking with remote control, "anti-theft" and "pumped" radio RCD320 - all this complements the already tight package technical equipment"budget".

In the pre-styling version, the consumer could get a 105-strong “aspirated” with a volume of 1.6 liters. Now the happy owners of the Kaluga sedan in the Highline configuration drive a 110 hp engine. True, some choose a 5-speed mechanical transmission, others prefer automatic transmission with 6 gears.

Finally, the last Kaluga "fighter", who recently got into the lineup manufacturer, - Allstar equipment (Ol star). A “brazen” car with a daring Copper Orange coloring recently burst into dealerships. In fact new version The Russian sedan has been released into the wild for those who appreciate fashion and style. As an encouragement (and, of course, to stimulate sales), the "officials" launched a March promotion for the "state employees". The discount reaches as much as 90,000 rubles, and the price tag is now 599,500 rubles.

There is practically nothing to add to the “Maximum speed” of the new configuration of Ol Star. The side mirrors, apart from heating and electric adjustments, have an electric drive for folding. The power windows have a comfort opening function. Instead of a conventional steering wheel, a multifunctional "steering wheel" is installed, touch screen and phone calls. On this technical advantages are probably ending.

But how the developers decorated the interior of Ol Star! The handles of the levers were covered with high-quality leather and stitched with a thin line. All chairs are upholstered in an expensive Anthracite Pentastripe fabric, which is highly durable. The Ol Star pedals feature stylish aluminum overlays. You won't notice 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 returns of 90 and 110 hp are offered. and standard manual and automatic transmissions.

Thus, all configurations of the Kaluga car can be divided into three camps. The first includes "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 a bright and emotional Ol Star with an abundance of chrome and decorative ornaments both in the exterior and in the car.

| Kinds Volkswagen configurations Polo

If we look for an analogy of the Volkswagen Polo car that is close and understandable to the domestic reader, then the best comparison there will be Lada "six", which was produced in the period from 1976 to 2001. Only "Polo" after several restylings and generations is produced to this day and will be produced for quite a long time.

Naturally, this comparison with Lada 6 does not apply to technical characteristics and it is appropriate to cite it only to make it clear how much popularity Polo has gained in the west and around the world.

The debut of this subcompact car, developed on the basis of a successful Audi car 50, took place in 1976. After the launch of the Volkswagen Polo series, it became the third full member of the family of the German auto giant, along with the Golf and Passat. The original appearance of this car was developed under the authorship of the famous designer Marcello Gandini, which was one of the reasons for the popularity of this car.

At the moment, the Polo family is represented by fifth generation cars. They have gone far from their subcompact predecessors and are compact and stylish cars, whose interiors are equipped with many options.

The number of options, as well as the level of technology used to improve the comfort and safety of the driver and passengers, will depend on the configuration, of which there are several in the fifth generation:

Today we are reviewing a great budget sedan from German Volkswagen Group who decided to please the Russians with his people's car back in 2009.

You waiting for photos and prices for Polo sedan, as well as detailed specifications car, which for a short existence in our market has become very successful. Only in 2013 in Russia sold more than 72 thousand auto polo sedan. The car is confidently included in the top 5 best-selling cars Russia. Actually, which is not surprising, the price-quality ratio corresponds to 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 and very successful Polo hatchback in Europe and added a trunk to it. Along the way, removing expensive finishing materials from the cabin, replacing them with cheaper and more practical ones. In addition, the resulting sedan has only one powertrain option, this is a 1.6-liter gasoline engine (recently, a Style version has appeared with a 1.6-liter engine, but with a capacity of 85 horses). And a couple of transmissions, this is a 5-speed manual and a 6-speed automatic. In general, nothing more budget car from Volkswagen does not rely.

Another success factor Polo sedan became a domestic assembly. If you ask where the Volkswagen Polo sedan is made, then the answer is the 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. Rapid assembly has already begun. Soon the car will appear in showrooms. In addition to minor changes in the interior and exterior Skoda Rapid although it looks like a sedan, it is actually a liftback, since the trunk lid opens with 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 appear in Russia soon.

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 in the same price range. Sedans have similar dimensions. Actually, buyers choose between the Korean approach to building a car and the German one. The practical and roomy German at the dawn of its appearance caused such a stir that the queues for the car stretched for many months. But today, not everything is so scary, buying a Polo sedan will not be difficult.

Appearance VW Polo sedan very strict and concise, in the general trend of corporate style. The car, although it looks like a progenitor hatchback, is completely different cars. For example, few people know, but the suspension of the Polo sedan from Golf 4 generations. According to the designers, it is she who is able to withstand not very good Russian roads. The car body is completely galvanized because the climatic conditions in our country are very specific.

Video Volkswagen Polo sedan

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

Crash test video EuroNcap There is no Polo in the sedan body, since the car is not intended for Western Europe, for which its counterpart in the hatchback body was tested. On tests in 2009, when, by the way, a hatchback version of the sedan appeared Volkswagen Polo got 5 stars.

By the way, it is interesting to compare the Polo sedan with 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.

Summing up everything written, I would like to note that Volkswagen correctly chose 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.
