on sale in China, India and South America. The next generation of the popular models of the beginning of March, with Brazil. However, there is the novelty bears the name of Volkswagen Virtus.

The good news is that the Polo sedan is built on the same platform MQB-A0
that and the eponymous hatchback. This means that in the body has increased the share of high strength steels. The car has increased in almost all dimensions: length increased to 4 480 mm
(+90 mm), width up to 1 171 mm (+52 mm), wheelbase up to 2 650 mm (+97 mm). The last parameter is the novelty on par with the Jetta model, which is a step up.

Significantly affected the appearance of the "people's car". The front of the Polo sedan indistinguishable from the platform of the hatch, then feed conjures up associations with older cars of concern. The interior is notable for the presence of a large coloured lining
on the front panel and the ability to install a fully digital dashboard.

As has been announced only Brazilian sedan Virtus, and the technical stuffing is made in accordance with the characteristics of the local market. The new version of the TSI 200 (can not deceive ourselves, the number did not signal the volume of the motor or its power) is equipped with a three-cylinder engine
The 1.0 TSI, whose impact will depend on the selected types of fuel: 116 HP on petrol
and 129 in the ethanol (it is widely distributed in South America). In the second case, the acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h takes 9.9 seconds. This engine is aggregated only
with a six-speed automatic transmission.

In Brazil, Volkswagen Virtus will be possible by January 2018. How long have to wait for Polo sedan in Russia? The exact answer to this question yet. Most likely, the main engine for our country will remain a 1.6-liter "aspirated".
