New panoramic sunroof “comfort” makes a big difference
The new generation of Polo Plus has a large jump in body size, and the wheelbase has been extended by 94mm, bringing a seating space comparable to that of an A-class car; the driving comfort has also been simultaneously upgraded through multiple configurations. The whole series is equipped with a large panoramic sunroof of 0.83m2, which is the same model as the new Lingdu, and its size is far larger than that of the same class, so that passengers in the front and rear rows can enjoy a transparent environment.
At the same time, the standard volume of the luggage compartment reaches 310L, which can easily accommodate a 30-inch trolley case and a 28-inch trolley case; it can also be expanded to 1,003L by folding the rear seats, fully meeting the loading needs. The interior of the car is also designed with humanized details such as the front center channel with cup holders, glove box compartments, front and rear door storage compartments, B-pillar coat hooks, and interior reading lights to create convenience for multiple people using the car.
Optimize performance and break through “flying driving control”

The multifunctional dynamic steering wheel has been upgraded to be adjustable in length and height, providing more convenience for operation. Coupled with the Drive-focus cockpit design and the new one-piece covered sports seats, driving is even more handy.

The XDS+ electronic differential lock system equipped in the whole series brings smooth cornering performance like a racing car. The application proportion of high-strength and above steel in the new car is as high as 78%, and the hot-formed steel has increased significantly compared with the previous model. Together with the high-rigidity chassis, it creates a racing-level driving quality.
