大众PoloGTI近日亮相法兰克福车展，由于大众已经推出了up!GTI，因此Polo不再是大众家族中最小，价格最低的GTI车型。该车搭载一台2.0升涡轮汽油引擎，功率147千瓦/200马力，比上代车型搭载的1.8TSI功率提升8马力，扭矩320牛米@1500转/分。大众在法兰克福车展发布了该车的一些细节，在上市之初，PoloGTI只提供六速双离合器变速箱，车辆百公里加速时间6.7秒，最高时速237公里。大众明年将提供六速手动变速器，这将进一步降低车价。大众表示，该车是同级别车型中唯一标配运动悬挂的车型，该悬挂不仅高度降低了15毫米，而且调整了弹簧，减震，辅助弹簧和防倾杆设置。如果愿意多掏钱，消费者还可选择SportSelect悬挂，它可提供可调主动减震并带有正常和运动驾驶模式。该车还提供了取自高尔夫的LED前大灯，驾驶员数字显示器和最新一代信息娱乐系统。该车专属配置包括侵略性车身，17英寸轮圈，车厢内红色装饰件，XDS差速器锁等。
147-MPH VW Polo GTI Flexes Its Hot Hatch Muscles In Frankfurt
It’s a good week for sporty superminis as after checking out the supercharged Toyota Yaris GRMN and the turbocharged Suzuki Swift Sport, now time has come to have a look at the new VW Polo GTI. With the introduction of the up! GTI, the Polo is no longer the smallest and most affordable Grand Tourer Injection model in the company’s range.
In order to make sure it will put up a good fight, VW’s engineers have installed a turbocharged 2.0-liter gasoline engine that delivers a solid 200 horsepower (147 kilowatts) or 8 hp more than the 1.8 TSI engine of the previous-generation model. With a generous amount of torque rated at 236 lb-ft (320 Nm) from 1,500 rpm.
On the occasion of the Frankfurt Motor Show, VW has decided to release some details about the car’s performances. Initially, only a six-speed, dual-clutch gearbox will be offered and that will enable the Polo GTI to complete the 0-62 mph (0-100 kph) sprint in 6.7 seconds before reaching a top speed of 147 mph (237 kph). Those who would rather change gears themselves the old fashioned way will have to wait until next year when a six-speed manual ‘box will be introduced. That should lower the model’s starting price.
VW is happy to remind us the Polo GTI is the only model in its class to come with a sport suspension as standard. It includes not only a ride height lowered by 15 millimeters (0.6 inches), but also tweaked settings for the springs, shock absorbers, auxiliary springs, and anti-roll bars. At an additional cost, buyers can opt for the Sport Select suspension bringing configurable active dampers together with Normal and Sport driving modes.
Needless to say, the GTI gets all the goodies available for the normal Polo, such as LED headlights, digital driver’s display and the latest infotainment systems inherited from the bigger Golf. GTI-exclusive kit includes the more aggressive body, red accents inside and out, 17-inch wheels, and an XDS differential lock, just to name a few.
