1 Answers
The differences between Volkswagen POLO and Golf: 1. Different powertrain systems: The POLO is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine paired with either a 5-speed manual or Aisin 6AT transmission. The Golf comes with a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine or a 1.4T engine with high and low power options. In reality, the best-selling Golf model is the 1.4T variant, which uses a 5-speed manual or dual-clutch transmission. 2. Different brands: Although both are Volkswagen models, the POLO is produced by Shanghai Volkswagen, while the Golf is manufactured by FAW-Volkswagen. 3. Different platforms: The POLO is based on the PQ24 platform, whereas the Golf is built on the MQB platform. The MQB is Volkswagen's latest transverse engine modular platform, which is more advanced in terms of technology. 4. Different configuration levels: The Golf meets the standards of an A-segment car, with side airbags, ESP, and aluminum alloy wheels as standard across all models. The POLO, being an A0-segment car, lacks ESP in all models. The base model, Zhi Le, does not include side airbags, aluminum alloy wheels, trip computer display, front fog lights, passenger seatbelt warning, door ajar warning, heated mirrors, adjustable driver seat height, split-folding rear seats, CD player, rear reading lights, etc. 5. Different dimensions and space: In terms of wheelbase and width, the Golf significantly surpasses the new POLO. The Golf has a width of 1786mm, which is 104mm more than the new POLO's 1682mm. The Golf's wheelbase of 2578mm is also 108mm longer than the new POLO's 2470mm.
