European Auto Major Volkswagen has launched its premium hatchback Polo in India on 5th Jan at the Auto Expo 2010. The Volkswagen Polo is fresh new design in compact car segment and looks absolutely beautiful. The curves of Polo are not very rounded and not very sharp too. The styling is excellent and gives it a cosmopolitan look.

Despite being compact from outside, it feels like a comfortable and spacious car on the inside with high quality interiors. The three spokes steering wheel, sporty instrument panel with tachometer and digital display in the middle gives it a techno look. The steering wheel has driver side safety airbag.
The A/C and music system knobs at the middle look well placed and go well with the interior tone. The small round gear knob gives a sport feeling.
The rear of the car elegant curves with big round logo of Volkswagen which looks good. The tail lamps and turn-indicator signals are at the rear edges extending slightly by the sides. The styling is very beautiful and has European touch in it.

The Volkswagen Polo will be manufactures in India at Chakan Plant near Pune. Manufacturing in India will give Volkswagen low cost advantage in manufacturing. The car is expected to be priced between Rs. 4 Lakh to Rs. 5 Lakh. This mid-segment car space is getting lots of real competitors and consumers are getting more and more choices.
I really want to test-drive or maybe own the race model of Polo. Stay tuned for more updates on Volkswagen Polo. Please subscribe to our email newsletter for free email updates.
