Volkswagen South Africa introduces entry-level R242,300 Polo Conceptline
Volkswagen South Africa has added a new Conceptline entry-level model to its local Polo range. Sitting above the fifth-generation Polo-based Vivo and the turbocharged sixth-generation models, the Conceptline is priced from R242,300 (including CO2 tax and VAT).
Only available with five doors – as are all sixth-generation Polos – the Conceptline is powered by an 89bhp (66kW), 1.6-litre naturally-aspirated four-cylinder engine allied to a five-speed manual gearbox. Despite being the cheapest entry point into new Polo ownership, the Conceptline does feature technology and a reasonable standard of equipment.
A four-speaker, 6.6-inch ’Composition Colour’ infotainment system comes as standard, with USB type C/Bluetooth/Apple iPod and iPhone connectivity, along with electronic stability control, LED daytime running lights, remote central locking, as well as side front and curtain front/rear airbags. Front electric windows are also fitted, and the Conceptline rolls on 5J x 14-inch steel wheels with 175/50 R14 tyres.
Core Package
Options include Convenience, Lights and Vision, and Park Distance Control packages. Priced at R3,750, the Core Package includes a leather multifunction steering wheel, front fog lamps, and the rest assist function. Metallic and pearlescent paint can be specified at no extra cost, and 15-inch ‘Sassari’ alloy wheels are priced at R4,700.
Despite being R10,100 cheaper than the 94bhp (70kW) Polo Trendline Manual TSI, the Polo Conceptine comes with Volkswagen South Africa’s three-year/120,000km warranty, 12-year anti-corrosion warranty, 15,000km service intervals, and a three-year, 45,000km service plan.
