Volkswagen South Africa has unveiled the new look of its range-topping Polo Vivo GT. The refreshed model boasts a sleeker and sportier appearance with a number of exterior and interior updates.

According to Volkswagen, the Polo Vivo GT’s redesign is aimed at enhancing the car’s athletic performance and dynamic character. The changes include a new black honeycomb grille, LED daytime running lights, and a revised front bumper that gives the car a more aggressive stance.
The Polo Vivo GT also receives a new set of 16-inch alloy wheels, finished in glossy black, and a black roof that adds to the car’s sporty profile. At the back, the car gets a new bumper with a diffuser insert and a sporty exhaust tip.

Inside the cabin, the Polo Vivo GT has been updated with a new multifunction steering wheel wrapped in leather, GT-branded sport seats with red stitching, and a black headliner. The car’s infotainment system has also been upgraded with a new 6.5-inch touchscreen display that features App-Connect, Bluetooth, and USB connectivity.

Under the hood, the Polo Vivo GT retains its 1.0-liter three-cylinder turbocharged engine that delivers 81 kW and 200 Nm of torque. The engine is mated to a six-speed manual transmission, and Volkswagen claims a fuel consumption figure of 5.6 liters per 100 km.
The Polo Vivo GT has always been a popular choice for South African drivers who are looking for a small, fun-to-drive car that offers good value for money. With the new updates, Volkswagen is hoping to attract even more customers to the Polo Vivo GT.

“The Polo Vivo GT is a key model in our range, and we are excited to introduce the refreshed version to the South African market,” said Mike Glendinning, Director of Volkswagen South Africa. “The new design and features enhance the car’s already impressive performance and value proposition.”
The new Polo Vivo GT is available in four colors: Reef Blue Metallic, Pure White, Reflex Silver Metallic, and Limestone Grey Metallic. Prices start at R307,400 (excluding delivery and related fees).
