The Polo.

Depending on your driving style you can choose between four high-performance petrol engines ranging from 44 kW (60 hp) to 77 kW (105 hp) (fuel consumption: 5.8 – 6-9 l/100 km; CO2 emissions: 138 – 176 g/km**) and four economical TDI engines ranging from 51 kW (70 hp) to 96 kW (130 hp) (fuel consumption: 4.5 – 5.2 l/100 km; CO2 emissions: 119 – 137 g/km**). These are available with a particle filter as an option (exception: 96 kW/130 hp). The 59 kW (75 hp) and 77 kW (105 hp) engines are also available in conjunction with an automatic transmission (fuel consumption: 6.9 and 7.5 l/100 km; CO2 emissions: 179 and 176 g/km**).

The ParkPilot provides assistance when you have to manoeuvre into tricky parking spaces. When you reverse, the system emits an acoustic warning which signals the distance to obstacles that are out of view behind you, thus helping you to park more easily in small spaces.

You can master critical driving situations a lot better with ABS and the Hydraulic Brake Assist (HBA). ABS prevents the wheels from locking even under severe braking whilst the Hydraulic Brake Assist (HBA) increases braking pressure should it detect an emergency braking situation.
