Volkswagen unveils the Polo sedan

The Volkswagen Polo sedan will be officially launched at the Moscow Motor Show in August, and will be built at the Volkswagen Group's factory in Kaluga, Russia. Volkswagen currently only plans to market the car in Russia, but has not ruled out selling the Polo sedan in other markets.

The Polo sedan measures 4380mm long, 1700mm wide, and 1460mm high, and has a wheelbase of 2550mm, which gives it more cabin and storage space than the hatchback. Ride height has also been increased by 15mm. Volkswagen has only announced one engine option for the Polo sedan, a 1.6-litre petrol that produces 104bhp and is available with either a 5-speed manual or 6-speed Tiptronic sequential shift gearbox.

Three trim levels are available, the Trendline, Comfortline and the top-of-the-range Highline which comes with side airbags and ESP. Standard features on the Polo sedan include a height-adjustable driver's seat, an onboard computer, immobiliser and power windows, as well as an immobiliser and twin airbags.
