That much is patently clear in overtaking acceleration, where this old 1600 gives that newer turbo litre lump another significant hiding. Especially if you happen to be driving on a good old Summer Highveld afternoon. It may well be out of the Ark, but this MPI lump still does a far better job than the launch failure plagued litre turbo triple. Another good old school new Polo Sedan advantage is its 81 kW 152 Nm MPI four-pot petrol engine mated to this one’s 5-speed manual turning the front axle. It also has two airbags, ESC, and multi-collision braking assist. Polo Sedan also has tyre pressure monitoring, and a rear-view camera with park distance control in the rear.

Best of all, the good old school leather-clad multi-function steering wheel loses those useless touch pads for solid, dependable, and easy to use buttons and switches. It’s a pleasant and elegant ambient lit, dual-tone beige finished, Climatronic conditioned space. ![]() Use chrome door knobs to access a cabin that VW calls premium. Still, our metallic carbon steel sedan came with LED head and taillights, foglamps, a smiling chrome grille and window strips, and 16-inch Scimitar alloys on this Life version. Most people who need one of these prefer to go incognito. A big boot to do the businessĤ.5 meters long, 1.7 m wide and 1.5 m tall, more or less, there’s nothing too flashy about the new Polo Sedan. To as Kariga puts it, fulfilling the mobility needs of all customers, and redefine the South African A0 Sedan segment. VW happily has now solved all those dilemmas by reintroducing the Polo Sedan, complete with a massive 521 litre boot. Leaving VW without a boot to stow that stock, school bags or luggage, or maybe even the gumba’s carcass. But the Jetta, and then the Polo Sedan both quietly disappeared from the market. Volkswagen had always looked after travelling salesmen, reps, Uber and taxi drivers and maybe even mobsters by selling a reasonably priced car with a monster boot.
