(continued from above)
The Polo R-Line is fully in keeping with the agile character of the current
generation of the Polo model. The Polo R-Line can be ordered with nearly any
engine variant. Market launch of the Polo with the new equipment pack will be at
the end of this year.
Exterior: New Bumpers and Roof Edge Spoiler
Outside, the extended standard equipment of the Polo R-Line includes 16-inch
"Mallory" alloy wheels, a radiator grille painted in high-gloss black (with
R-Line badge), a specially designed sporty R-line bumper (in the specific body
color; rear bumper has a distinctive diffuser), chrome tailpipes for the exhaust
system, body-colored roof edge spoiler, R-line side sills also in body color,
daytime running lights (integrated under a chrome band in the main headlights),
fog lights (in the front spoiler) and LED license plate illumination. Available
upon request: a sports chassis, which lowers the car into the dampers by 0.6
inches (15 mm).
Interior Has Sport Seats and Black Roofliner
Inside, the Polo R-Line resembles the GTI with its sport seats. The rear and
front seats are upholstered with high-end "Kyalami" fabric (or optional
Alcantara/leather look); the inner surfaces of the lateral seat supports (front)
are made of "San Remo" microfiber fabric. Worked into the front head restraints
is the R-Line logo. Also standard: the black roofliner, leather steering wheel
with aluminum decor and R-Line badge (chrome signature on black background),
accents in high-gloss black, pedal caps with aluminum look and door sill plates
with R-Line signature.
