Volkswagen R offers a new tuning package for the Polo R-Line, and a beautiful interior makeover.
The latest such cosmetic upgrade comes from Volkswagen and its R GmbH division, which have given the Polo a bit of a makeover. The Polo R Line benefits from sportier bumpers front and rear, side sills, a gloss-black grille, tinted windows, upgraded fog lights and an interior with sports buckets, leather-wrapped three-spoke steering wheel, aluminum pedals and black headliner. Of course, the requisite R badges appear throughout so buyers can at least pretend they got the performance model when all they're packing is a 1.2-litre four with 105 metric horsepower that'll takes nearly ten seconds to get them up to 100 km/h from a standstill.
Outside, the R Line sports new bumpers, deeper side sills, 16-inch alloy wheels with 215/45 R16 tyres (up 1 inch from the base car), foglamps, tinted side windows and the all-important R Line badging. It's what the cool kids are wearing these days.
R-Line logo is integrated into the head restraints of the front seats. There is a standard black lining (trim) on the roof, and a leather steering wheel with chrome logo that says R-Line. Attached are the aluminum pedals with a shiny black trim. The R-Line logo can be seen at the front of the car.
