0.1 -> When the Dutch bestseller is renewed, we have to drive it.

8.195 -> This is the new Volkswagen Polo.

10.765 -> The Polo has 6 generations. That's a long time. Over 14 million were sold.

18.235 -> The new Polo has grown up in a number of areas. First, the size.

24.345 -> It's 8 cm longer than the previous generation. It's over 4 meters long now.

28.605 -> It has a 9 cm longer wheelbase, which means there's more room inside; in the front and in the back.

37.185 -> Especially the rear seats have more leg room and you can sit down there more easily.

44.495 -> There's more trunk space as well.

49.135 -> It has 75 liters extra; 355 liters in total.

61.115 -> The new Volkswagen Polo has grown up in features too because it's built on the MQB platform.

68.6 -> We know this platform from the Volkswagen Golf, Passat, etc. Bigger and more luxurious cars.

74.08 -> Because they used this platform for the Polo, they could use the technology of the bigger cars.

80.94 -> You can get pre-collision safety things. It'll close the windows in the event of an accident

89.25 -> and the brakes will be at the ready. There's also after-collision braking.

95.92 -> After a collision or accident, it makes sure to stop as quickly as possible.

100.58 -> You won't roll into oncoming traffic. Things like that.

106.675 -> This is smart technology you wouldn't expect to see in a car like this. The Polo is a small car.

115.555 -> You don't expect adaptive cruise control in here, but everything's available on this Volkswagen Polo.

121.58 -> What makes this car unique in its segment is the Active Info Display.

131.88 -> This means you can display the satnav in your dashboard and you can change views.

140.375 -> It's fully digital. This option costs 361 euros if I'm not mistaken.

146.97 -> It's really cool for this class.

152.74 -> We get to choose from 3 different engines. Of course there are gasoline engines.

158.54 -> These start with a 1.0 MPI with 64 hp and go up to the 148 hp 1.0 TSI.

167.62 -> Sorry, a 1.5 TSI. That one will be available with cylinder deactivation.

172.93 -> There will also be a 2.0 GTI. That's remarkable, because the previous one was a 1.8.

178.4 -> Volkswagen isn't downsizing but upsizing. I think 200 hp in this car is great.

185.86 -> There's one natural gas engine and a diesel engine.

192.025 -> That one has only one variety, with 94 hp.

195.08 -> All engines with 94 hp and up are available with a DSG automatic transmission.

204.165 -> Because the Polo has grown up, I wonder if I'd still choose a Golf.

211.56 -> It handles fine. It's comfortable and you can hoon if you want to.

217.26 -> It's good. Mature enough. It doesn't feel like a small car.

223.25 -> If I had a lease budget and got to choose between a base model Golf or a Polo with a stronger engine

231.495 -> and maybe a Beats package, I would know. I think the interior is cool.

238.87 -> It's not frugal or barren. I get it. This car has more features because of the Beats package.

246.48 -> It looks really good. I don't know if I'd choose red accents, but it's a good car.

256.48 -> I wonder if I'd choose a Golf. I don't think so. I think I'd drive a Polo with some options.

268.41 -> I hear you think I should complain about the Polo as well. Of course I can.

276.32 -> I think the design is rather boring. It's not very exciting.

282.64 -> That's Volkswagen's strategy. I get it, but I think it's a shame.

287.735 -> I don't like the headlights of the car we're driving.

293.135 -> When you choose the halogen headlights, the standard choice for this car,

299.265 -> the unit has a different shape. It doesn't have the weird squiggle.

304.855 -> It's straighter and I think it looks better than this one.

308.45 -> That is my complaint, along with the boring design.

314.095 -> That's not true for the interior, because I think it's cool.

325.24 -> The new Polo starts at 15,550 euros. We're driving the Beats edition.

332.645 -> The price for this one isn't available yet.

334.68 -> It's a Comfort Line with stickers, the sound system, and a sexier interior.

343.65 -> When ordering the 113 hp engine in the Comfort Line, you'll have to pay a little over 20,000 euros.

352.165 -> I want to point out a fun option besides the Active Info Display I told you about.

357.245 -> That'd be the XDS differential lock.

360.1 -> That's an electronically controlled differential lock.

364.315 -> It distributes the power over the wheels using the brakes, just like a differential lock tries to do.

373.105 -> That makes for sportier acceleration out of a corner. That's fun.

381.005 -> Do you have to choose a Polo over a Golf?

384.935 -> That may be a bit extreme, but I think a Polo is plenty.

396.75 -> Subtitles - Maru's Text Support
