The 2018 Volkswagen Polo range has seen the addition of an aggressively styled R-Line pack.
The new R-Line pack will be available as an optional extra on the range-topping Comfortline model at a cost of $1500. But for that money, buyers get plenty of additional kit. Trendline buyers can't get the R-Line pack.
The R-Line pack includes a blackened R-Line front bumper and grille, black-edged side sills, a redesigned rear bumper with black diffuser and twin chrome trim elements, an R-Line rear spoiler (you guessed correctly - in black), and new metallic grey 16-inch 'Sebring' alloy wheels (as per the Golf).
The R-Line pack also includes a tighter sports suspension set-up, tinted rear glass (side and back windows) and front fog-lights with static cornering lights.
That isn’t all for the Polo, though - the all-new GTI model is just around the corner, due here in August, and there’ll be a special edition Beats model with a beefier stereo and some interior tech and styling enhancements before the end of the year, too.

Matt Campbell has been at the forefront of automotive media for more than a decade, working not only on car reviews and news, but also helping manage automotive outputs across print, online, video and audio.
After completing his media degree at Macquarie University, Matt was an intern at a major news organisation as part of the motoring team, where he honed his skills in the online automotive reviews and news space. He did such a good job there they put him on full time, and since then he has worked across different automotive media outlets, before starting with CarsGuide in October 2017.
At CarsGuide Matt has helped shape the video output of the business, while also playing a key role in management behind the scenes, and helping in-market new car buyers make the right choice by continually evolving CarsGuide's comparison reviews. Driving more than 100 cars a year seemed like a dream to Matt when he first started out, but now it's all just part of the job - a job he loves and plans to stay in for a long time to come.
Matt is also an expert in used car values, as he's always on the hunt for a bargain - be it a project beater or a prime example of the breed. He currently owns a 2001 Audi TT quattro and a 2007 Suzuki Jimny JLX.
