Volkswagen Polo Style 2019: new variant added to light car lineup

How much does equipment matter to you in a light car?

Volkswagen has added a new Style grade to the 2019 Polo range, which is priced from $24,990 plus on-road costs. 

Sitting atop the regular Polo range - albeit below the GTI but above the Comfortline - the Style occupies the positioning of the former Polo Beats

The Polo Style includes the brand's digital dials.

Adding more standard equipment to the Comfortline model, the Style is only available with the same 85kW/200Nm 1.0-litre turbocharged three-cylinder petrol engine mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. Fuel consumption is rated at 4.9L/100km on the combined cycle. 

The Style adds dual-zone climate control, inbuilt satellite navigation through the same 8.0-inch screen as the Comfortline, digital instruments with an inbuilt map, wireless phone charging, a 300W Beats audio system, tinted tailights, privacy glass and 16-inch alloy wheels over the Comfortline.  

This is on top of the Comfortline's automatic headlights and wipers, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, an auto-dimming rear view mirror, AEB with pedestrian detection, a leather steering wheel, four USB ports, a reversing camera, cruise control, driver fatigue monitoring and heated mirrors.

The Style also includes a 300W Beats audio system.

Two options are available for the Polo Style: $700 metallic paint, and a $1500 Driver Assist Pack that includes blind-spot monitoring (BSM) with rear cross-traffic alert (RCTA), automated parking, adaptive cruise control, auto-folding mirrors and a predictive occupant protection system.
