The sixth generation of the Volkswagen Polo has reached the middle of its life and gets the required facelift.
As in many generations and other updates of the Polo it can be summed up in two words: small golf.
It seems that this definition is becoming more and more appropriate for polo.

Like the whole automotive world, it too has swelled over the generations when its dimensions are already completely useful today.
There is a perfectly reasonable trunk here and an efficient rear seat for two adults for example.
Also in terms of appearance it is very similar to golf especially after this facelift.
The front, the rear view and other touches really create an imagination here on the verge of confusion.
Inside the cabin the differences are a little clearer, since here too the Polo showers its drivers from other segments.
The equipment list is also very long in the base version.
Among other things, you can find here a climate control system, a charging pad for the smartphone, a full digital dashboard, sensors, adaptive LED lighting and more.
The price is high compared to the competition, but so is the feeling in the booth.
Whether these are the materials, the padding or the assembly, the feel is better quality and elevated from the segment.
Upstairs supermini if you will.
It has always been that way.
What is not here, is a brawl, everything is made very efficiently, very impressive, but also a little gray.
And so she also feels on the road.
There is an option here to choose between different driving modes, all the human-machine contact interfaces feel technological and quality but there is nothing here to wave at.
The comfort is very good, the paddle system does a great job, the behavior is super-safe.
No naughty spark.
There is a small machine that does a respectable, serious job, like a big one.
The advanced safety systems are also very impressive from the base version.
Beyond adaptive cruise control, lane departure correction and independent braking capability, there is also automatic braking to detect cross-traffic while reversing.
there's more.
Even in places like this, the Polo gives the feel of a car from a higher and mostly more mature segment.
So the polo will continue to appeal to those who want golf but do not really need its size, or are not interested in paying the required premium for it.
Those who are willing to settle for a little less tin but no less quality, efficiency and safety.
This polo, too, stretched in the face, will give those a very accurate answer, as she looks and feels closer to her bigger sister than ever.
