Volkswagen is expanding its supermini range for the UK with the addition of the Polo R Line. This version builds on the Polo Match trim grade and adds unique styling inside and out.
The exterior styling pack consists of sportier looking front and rear bumpers, a black gloss radiator grille with the R Line badging, new side sills, 16 inch ‘Mallory; alloys, dark tinted and 65-percent light-absorbing windows at the back plus front fog-lights that have been enhanced with a static cornering function.
On the inside the R line features scuff plates with the R Line logos, sports seats with ‘Kyalami’ cloth and logoed headrests, a three-spoke steering wheel wrapped in leather, aluminium pedals, and black cloth roof lining.
