Where is the spare tire of the Volkswagen Polo located?
2 Answers
The spare tire of the Volkswagen Polo is located in the trunk. Open the trunk, lift the cover plate, and unscrew the black screw to remove the spare tire. Taking the 2019 Volkswagen Polo as an example, it is a compact car with body dimensions of 4053mm in length, 1740mm in width, and 1449mm in height, a wheelbase of 2564mm, a fuel tank capacity of 42.5 liters, and a curb weight of 1145kg. The 2019 Volkswagen Polo features a front MacPherson independent suspension and a rear torsion beam non-independent suspension. It is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 113ps, a maximum power of 83kw, and a maximum torque of 145nm, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.
I've been driving my Volkswagen Polo for almost three years, and the spare tire has always been securely tucked away in the spacious trunk beneath the floor. You need to open the tailgate and gently lift the thick carpet or panel to reveal a specially designed recess where the spare tire is stored. There's also a tool kit strapped beside it, including a jack and wrench, ready for immediate use in case of a flat tire on the road. The design is quite clever—it saves space without getting in the way, though sometimes you have to move heavy boxes around to access it. The spare is a T-type compact size, not meant for long-term use; it's rated for a maximum of 80 kilometers. I tried it once before, and the car felt bumpy, so I had to switch back to the original tire quickly. It's a good idea to check the tire pressure every quarter—don't just rely on appearances, as insufficient pressure won't help in a real blowout. In short, the location is easy to find, but don't take it for granted. Pay attention to tire wear during daily driving.
