Many young people who don't have much demand for space are eager to have a "small steel cannon" so that they can experience pure performance and handling pleasure without compromising on comfort and "big space". This kind of "small steel cannon" can often become their own "heart meat", although their chassis suspension is harder and less comfortable, but the strength in power and handling makes up for the lack of space and comfort, and is a pure driver's car. However, the real "small steel cannon" is often not cheap, such as ford focus RS, Volkswagen Golf GTI and other models, the average young person can not afford their high price, at this time may be confused, what to do?
You can look at saicide Volkswagen Polo, although its power output is not as surging as the Golf GTI, but the 1.5L naturally aspirated engine matches the Aisin 6AT transmission also has a good power output, although it is not abundant, but it is not "meat". In terms of performance, it can not be compared with the real "small steel cannon", can not stand the price is cheap, 9.99-12.39 million yuan price range plus a large discount, even if the car purchase budget is not very abundant young people can also start, more than 90,000 German "steel cannon", to be cost-effective, provided that you do not pay much attention to the body size and interior space, these two aspects can be said to be the disadvantages of volkswagen Polo.
The advantage of Volkswagen Polo is that the small size is very easy to drive, the basic handling is still there, the seat is also very comfortable, the chassis is hard, the sense of road is strong, the design of the hatchback is also in line with the visual sense of "small steel gun", although the power output is not its plus, but the fuel consumption performance is ideal, 5.5L/100km NEDC comprehensive fuel consumption is very fuel economy, can save part of the fuel cost. The disadvantage is that it inherits the fine tradition of "small steel cannon", the sound insulation effect in the car is not very good, the tire noise is very large, the interior material is also cheaper, the rear space is still very small, if you want to buy a family car, it is not recommended to choose the Volkswagen Polo, if you plan to use it yourself, the rear seat utilization rate is not high, but it is OK.
Mention of the Volkswagen Polo chassis hard, in addition to the adjustment of the reason, and its chassis structure is also closely related, it uses the front McPherson type independent suspension + rear torque beam type non-independent suspension structure, its own shock absorption effect is not as good as the rear multi-link independent suspension, feel hard is very normal. In the interior, although its center console is mostly hard plastic, it can still make people shine in color matching, such as its use of contrast seats and colorful center console trim, which is intended to attract young people who pursue personality and fashion. In terms of configuration, the Volkswagen Polo series does not provide LCD dashboards, the central control screen size is 8 inches (optional 9.2 inches), support for car networking, voice recognition control, CarPlay, CarLife, etc., but does not support satellite navigation and OTA upgrades, restricting its scalability.
In terms of price, we learned from Jinan, Shandong, that the entire Volkswagen Polo series has a discount of 18,000 yuan, for a 100,000-level "steel cannon", this discount has been very large, its standard model has fallen from 99,900 to 81,900, it seems very cheap, in fact, the competitive pressure is very large, more than 80,000 is enough to buy Buick Yinglang, Volkswagen Bora, Volkswagen Langyi and other large space models, and the size of the Volkswagen Polo is small, it is doomed to be unable to "become popular", can only become a part of the people" Bad Taste". Sometimes, "price for volume" doesn't work very well.
Sales, Volkswagen Polo sold 36326 units in January to November this year, compared to last year's annual sales of 45071 units, a difference of 8745 units, and its December sales are difficult to reach more than 8,000 units of results, which means that its sales are down year-on-year, if you take into account the "lack of core" factor, this sales performance and last year's difference is not large, therefore, its sales are still very stable, although it is impossible to "big red purple", but win in stability, This shows that volkswagen Polo has a fixed consumer group, with this point, this car can not be discontinued. So, what do you think about Volkswagen Polo?
