Styling wise, the new Polo is endowed with the brand's latest styling DNA. The new hatchback is longer and wider than its predecessor. As expected, the Polo offers a cabin that is high in the build quality department.

For now, the only engine option available is a tweaked version of the previous car's 1.4-litre four-pot. Output numbers are 85bhp at 5000rpm and 132Nm at 3800rpm. A 1.2-litre turbo option will be available late in 2010.

mated to the engine is a seven-speed DSG twin clutch gearbox - the first time such a transmission is offered in the class. The 1.4 Polo will accelerate to 100km/h from rest in 11.9 seconds with top speed rated at 177km/h.

Volkswagen Centre Singapore will be organising a host of activities and events to herald the polo's arrival this weekend. Visitors to the showroom can expect complimentary German pastries to feast on, take a gyrotron challenge and so on.
