All the controversy surrounding the Volkswagen Polo in recent days has also served the German brand in an attempt to stifle information that has emerged about the restyled model. But the mistake made by two units of Polo 2023 during The launch of the new Chevrolet Equinox 2023 test drive That was enough to reveal some secrets.
With me at the wheel, Renato Maya from talking about the car in pictures and Information obtained by Engine1We now exclusively reveal the strategy behind the Volkswagen Polo 2023. It all starts with the end of one of the model’s main rumors: there will be no Polo Hybrid. However, the hatch will be used even! TSI has become the most economical 1.0 in Brazil.
The eTSI engine tested on the Golf MK8 and running throughout Brazil is 1.5 and will only be used by larger models of the brand. Taos is likely largely responsible for the debut of the electrified range, which uses an electric motor instead of an alternator. It’s not really a hybrid, but a small hybrid.
Information from inside Volkswagen revealed that the eTSI was finding it a bit difficult to be compatible with ethanol – which is perfectly normal at this early stage of development when the engine is. So much so that small hybrid mechanization should take two to three years to appear in Brazil.
The most economical car in Brazil?
But what is the Volkswagen Polo 2023 with pneumatic wheels and thin tires? Simply the new version of the form. It’s not exactly the Polo Track, which will replace the Gol and will use the 1.0 MPI engine. In fact, this new Polo version will be a successor to the top! TSI with the spirit of BlueMotion.
Volkswagen will use the 170 TSI hit from the top! TSI at the input electrode. When the sub-disc died, it delivered 105 hp and 16.8 Nm of torque. It’s a relatively big drop compared to today’s 128 hp and 20.6 kg/m Polo TSI. But this one has a clear goal: Volkswagen wants this Polo up high! TSI is the most economical 1.0 in Brazil.
Today this title belongs to Renault Kwid This makes 10.3 km/l in the city and 10.8 km/l on the highway with ethanol. Gasoline-filled has 14.9 km/l and 15.6 km/l. Volkswagen will have to do some tricks to improve performance! The TSI was 9.6 km / l in the city and 11.1 km / l on the highway with ethanol, while on gasoline it was 13.8 km / l and 16.1 km / l, respectively.
For this purpose, the Polo 170 TSI will receive thinner tires with lower rolling resistance, as well as aerodynamic tricks. The photo shows that the front grille is more closed to reduce airflow. In addition, the wheels will have a more lockable design, but they may not be of the caught model. Finally, it will be full! To reduce weight (and cost).
repetitive style
In addition to the new entry-level Polo 2023, the photo also reveals a more advanced version. Unlike the top engine model! TSI, that will keep the 200 TSI beating the 1.0 three-cylinder turbo. That’s 128 hp and 20.4 kg m of torque. Another change is that the 170 TSI will have a five-speed manual transmission, while the most powerful will only have a six-speed automatic.
The most noticeable thing, in addition to the wide tires and various wheels, is the presence of radars on the windshield. Coincidentally, the Nivus spotted right next door shows that there isn’t much of a mystery. The part is the same on both models, which indicates that the Polo 2023 will have independent emergency braking and adaptive cruise control just like the SUV coupe.
In this variant, the front grille has a full hatch for better engine cooling. However, all 2023 Polo cars will have full LED headlights. The solution will be through mirrors as in Nivus and Taos Comfortline. A better variant (or GTS) could be an IQ.Light system with sophisticated lenses, projectors and adaptive lighting.
Forget about the idea of continuous lanterns like Happened with the European pole. The Brazilian Model 2023 will keep the lanterns in their current form, but there will be changes to the lighting scheme and lens, which should be darkened. The good news is that the lighting is all LEDs, even at 170 TSI.
New releases?
Although not adopting a global look, the Polo 2023 can be sold with the new designations for the versions that Volkswagen already uses in Europe. The basic version remains unnamed, while Comfortline is changed to Life, and Highline is renamed Style.
This change is still popular, with Volkswagen adopting different designations in specific situations. However, this new designation is still recent in Europe. However, in the US, the S brand is used for the unnamed versions in Brazil, the SE for the Comfortline and the SEL for the Highline – it’s exactly the same system that Ford used here before the Ka and EcoSport deaths.
