MK6 Supermini revealed, and it's grown-up, with more space, more tech and even more upmarket feel
-Evolutionary look but advanced new platform for small car star
-Larger, more mature VW model will go on sale in UK in October
VOLKSWAGEN has revealed its sixth-generation Polo, the largest and most advanced version of the supermini in its 42-year history.
Featuring a more mature design and a range of new engines – and benefiting from a considerable increase in dimensions – the Polo will take on the latest Ford Fiesta, SEAT Ibiza (driven on Page 38) and Vauxhall Corsa when it goes on sale in October.
It’s a full eight years since the current Polo first arrived on the scene, so big changes hide behind the modest exterior update. The sixth-generation Polo sits on a brand new VW Group small car platform, called MQB A0, which is shared with the new Ibiza. It’s a platform that will go on to underpin future versions of the Audi A1 and Skoda Fabia, along with a Polo-based SUV.
