Turn a corner on traction
When cornering, it responds to the load relief at the front wheel on the inside of a corner. This improves traction and reduces the tendency to understeer.
Whether you’re after a better route to dodge the traffic, or just want to listen to your own music, the Polo GTI has you covered. The Infotainment system gives you access to all these features and more, with a brilliant 8†high resolution touchscreen display.
Transform your dash.
The Active Info display lets you customize 3 different personalised dash views to suit your driving preference. The high-resolution screen sits behind the steering wheel, keeping tabs on your Polo GT’s performance and efficiency. You can choose a configuration of gauges, or even display full screen navigation and maps.
1Active Info Display is available with the optional Sound and Vision Package.
The apps from your phone, in your car.
Access your smartphone’s screen, selected apps, maps, and music through App-Connect on your car’s touchscreen and Voice Activation. This is possible thanks to three innovative technologies: Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto ™ and MirrorLink® interfaces. There’s also an additional 2x USB ports for extra power to accessories.
2App-Connect is compatible for selected apps with the latest smartphone versions of iOS and Android, active data service, and connection cable (sold separately).
The days of clicking the button on your key fob to get into your Volkswagen are over. Simply approach your Polo GTI with your key fob and the car will unlock automatically when you reach to open the door. Once inside, fire up this turbocharged beast with a simple push of a button.
Cruise on through.
The cruise control system with Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), available with the optional Driver Assistance package, lets you set the speed you want to travel and the gap you want to allow between you and the car in front. Using a radar sensor, the car then maintains your speed and your distance.

Keep an extra eye out.
The Blind Spot Monitor, available with the optional Driver Assistance package, uses an LED display in the exterior mirror to alert you to potential dangers in your blind spot. It works in conjunction with the Rear Traffic Alert system, which monitors traffic passing at the rear of the vehicle. If your car comes too close to another vehicle, you will be alerted by audible and visual warnings.

Take the drama out of a parking
The Park Assist system, available with the optional Driver Assistance package, in the new Polo lets you park like a machine. When parking, it scans the side of the road for the perfect spot, and once engaged, it automatically steers itself into parallel parking spaces or parking bays and even out of parallel spaces again.

Be prepared for emergencies.
The proactive occupant protection system, available with the optional Driver Assistance package, detects dangerous situations and automatically takes precautionary actions. The windows and the sunroof are closed to a small gap to optimise the effect of the head and side airbags, and the front seat belts are tensioned. Once the danger passes, the belts are loosened and the side windows and sunroof can be opened again.
The power to move.
The Polo GTI’s 2.0 litre turbocharged TSI engine really packs a punch, pumping out 147kW of power and 320Nm of torque. And all that performance doesn’t come at the cost of fuel efficiency, with the Polo GTI consuming a modest 6.1L/100km4.
4Fuel consumption figures according to Australia Design Rule (ADR) 81/02 derived from laboratory testing. Factors including but not limited to driving style, road and traffic conditions, environmental influences, vehicle condition, and accessories fitted, will in practice in the real world lead to figures, which generally differ, from those advertised. Advertised figures are meant for comparison amongst vehicles only.
The badge that started it all.
Since 1976, the original hot hatch has carried a distinct visual look that has famously become its identity amongst the hot hatches. Outside, the red grille strip and GTI badging let you know this is no ordinary Polo. Step inside and you’ll feel the ’Clark’ tartan upholstered sports seats hold you in position, preparing you for the burst of power the moment you plant your foot.
From handling the everyday drive to the times you may want to liven things up even more. With Sport Select Suspension, you can alter the tuning to a firmer ride, as the dampers take on the characteristics of true sports suspension.
This is all done through the Driving Profile Selection, where the driver can choose from Normal, Sport, Eco and also Individual for a truly personal feel.
