Soon-to-be Volkswagen Polo owners in the UK have another trim to consider. The Polo R Line builds on the Polo Match trim, which replaced the SE and Moda trims in the UK.
The R Line gives the Polo a sportier styling pack. It consists of a deeper, more aggressive R Line front and rear bumpers, a black gloss radiator grille with R Line badging, deeper side sills and 16-inch ‘Mallory’ alloy wheels. The rear windows are dark-tinted with a 65% light-absorbing material. As for the foglights, it gets the static cornering function.
The R Line also extends inside beginning with the aluminium scuff plates with R Line logos. Sports seats are wrapped in ‘Kyalami’ cloth and the R Line logo are displayed into the headrests. The three-spoke steering is wrapped in leather, again with the R Line logo incorporated into it. Two more changes come in the form of aluminium-capped pedals and the roof is finished in black cloth lining.
Not to be confused with Volkswagen R cars, which are the hottest versions of its respective range, the R Line only tweaks the trim and styling. Which is why only one engine will be getting the R Line treatment: the 1.2-litre 105 PS TSI paired with a six-speed manual gearbox.
Prices on the road start at £15,195 for the three-door model and £15,815 for the five-door versions. Volkswagen UK has opened orders for the car with first deliveries expected in July.

AI-generated Summary ✨
The comments reflect a mix of admiration and criticism towards Volkswagen Polo R Line and VW cars in general. Enthusiasts praise VW's engineering, performance, and value, citing awards like engine of the year and the technology shared with luxury brands like Porsche. Many defend VW owners against accusations of arrogance or pretentiousness, emphasizing that owners have valid reasons for choosing VW, such as reliability and engineering quality. Critics, however, point out concerns over gearbox problems, overpricing in Malaysia due to import duties, and question whether VW truly competes with luxury brands like BMW and Mercedes. Some remind others not to compare VW globally with local perceptions, while a few comments dismiss the entire brand or express boredom with the "R" branding and styling updates. Overall, sentiments range from proud loyalty to skepticism about VW's reliability and value in Malaysia.
