That's right, VW will be getting into the ultra-competitive sub-compact segment in North America with the new VW Polo.
There is no word on which engine options will be offered but we wouldn't be surprised to see one of the TDI engines (of which VW will produce three) offered. TDI models will range in power from 60 to 105 hp.
As for gasoline engines, the Polo will be offered worldwide with four different FSI engines. The U.S.-market is likely to see just one of these but possibly two. The most likely is the 1.2TSI, a turbocharged four-cylinder that makes 105hp.
The next engine down from that is a naturally aspirated 1.4-liter four-cylinder with 90hp.
VW is planning to offer some of the higher-performance Polos with its new 7-speed DSG gearbox. Some models will also be offered with 17-inch wheels.
Look out Honda Fit!
