The Volkswagen Polo may have suffered very discreet styling changes for its first facelift, but the supermini’s traditional shape hides many mechanical and technological updates.

The restyled Polo features new Euro6 engines, as well as infotainment and assistance systems trickled down from the larger VW Golf. The Automatic Post-Collision Braking System is offered as standard, while other technologies, including the Driver Alert System, Front Assist with City Emergency Braking and Automatic Cruise Control are offered optionally.

There’s also the optional Sport Select suspension and the new electro-mechanical steering system and the modular infotainment system.
