2014 Volkswagen Polo Sedan detailed, est. RM86,888

2014_Volkswagen_Polo_Sedan_16

An upgraded 2014 Volkswagen Polo Sedan has turned up unannounced at the carmaker’s local website. It’s quite an interesting one, this, as it has been enhanced with new features, yet carry a much lower estimated price of RM86,888. The existing Polo Sedan’s RM99,888 pricetag was unaffected by VGM’s recent range-wide price revision.

UPDATE: The locally-assembled 2014 VW Polo Sedan has been officially launched – click here for the launch report.

Most of the updates are found inside. A new RCD 320 Radio system with USB, iPod and Bluetooth connectivity replaces the basic RCD 210 head unit in the outgoing car. Climatronic auto air con with new rear vents is added into the standard equipment list, and a height-adjustable centre armrest now resides between the two front seats.

The 2014 model gets a few cosmetic changes too. The halogen headlamps have a different design; now with bright white surrounds instead of the current car’s black finish. Rear badge placement has been revised: there’s now a prominent Volkswagen lettering by the left light cluster, and the Polo insignia has been moved to the opposite side of the boot lid.

2014_Volkswagen_Polo_Sedan_05

Elsewhere, the new Polo Sedan is identical to the one before. The 1.6 litre MPI engine with 105 PS and 153 Nm stays, as do the six-speed automatic transmission. Its performance figures remain: 0-100 km/h takes 12.3 seconds, and top speed is 183 km/h. Claimed fuel consumption is 6.5 litres per 100 km (15.3 km/L). Four airbags and ISOFIX mounts are standard items.

This could very well be the locally-assembled model that had been reported earlier in the year. Presumably it will replace the current fully-imported Polo Sedan that is manufactured in Pune, India, and join the Passat 1.8 TSI as the second CKD Volkswagen model to be assembled in DRB-Hicom’s Pekan plant.

Officially, the 2014 Volkswagen Polo Sedan is not readily available for purchase just yet (hence the estimated price tag), but the pre-order books have now been opened.

            Don’t be fooled. Its not the DSG cars that breakdown non stop. Their Polo with non DSG is also known as kaki breakdown. Go to facebook and read yourself. And customers have to wait 3 months to get anything fixed especially normal parts. See facebook, all fuming mad. And don’t get excited with their warranty. Its ONLY 2 years. 3 years is insurance based. That takes months. Adjuster must come and see, approval takes weeks, and most of the time, not covered. Don’t believe? Go to facebook and see yourself. VW customers are fuming mad. Even to service the car also must make appointment few weeks beforehand. And when you cross over the required mileage because you waiting weeks for your appointment. VW will tell you, sorry, cannot claim warranty. Because you have crossed over the service interval mileage. You tell them but my appointment given 4 weeks later, they tell you, you should plan in advance. So, their DSG cars can only drive at night but their non DSG cars like the Polo stinks in service.

          • VW no principles on Oct 21, 2013 at 1:56 pm

            Now that DSG is openly known as defective and faulty, I would not buy a car from a company who for years denied that there was anything wrong with their DSG. It is a matter of principal. Yes, all car companies got defects and have issued recalls but VW is an exception. They did not recall. They just plainly denied anything wrong with their DSG. For years they denied. In the meantime, so many people suffered with breakdowns, power failure while overtaking and serious accidents. You think it is fun trying to overtake a lorry and suddenly your DSG loses power?

            On principal basis, I would not buy from VW as they got no ethics and principals.

          That’s why it have more pricey maintenance.

      I agree, it’s the VW equivalent of a Saga and that’s really the polo sedan’s main issue. Looks like they haven’t done much to the styling either. RM87k is probably w/o insurance, so it’ll end up RM90K on the road, which is nothing great because VW dealers have been giving >RM10K discount on the Polo sedan. Good luck!

      • kadajawi on Oct 20, 2013 at 5:06 am

        But most normal consumers don’t know about the 10k discounts, so they never bothered to even consider the Polo. If you see the car is over your budget, will you go to the showroom to testdrive it and ask for discounts?

        90k is pretty much on par with the competitors… the conti/Korean competitors that are a bit better in terms of safety only offer hatchbacks (Ford had a safe sedan in that price segment, but they removed all the safety features and increased the price), Japanese competitors lack the safety features and refinement. Besides this is the second biggest B segment car on the market in Malaysia (only the Almera offers more space), so it is practical too. And don’t forget, it doesn’t have DSG.

        Actually, my VW is easier and cheaper to maintain compared to my wife’s persona and 8th gen honda Civic.

        My golf is now at 35k km and serviced twice at RM700 +- from authorised dealer. No problems so far. So RM1.4K all together.

        My wifes Persona varies, but usually every 5-10km. Its already at 54K KM and already over RM2.5K serviced. Problems which we ended up paying extra was a faulty window button and sagging rear bumpers which came at about RM300 to service at Proton.

        Similar to my Civic, the regular service intervals is time consuming and expensive at about RM300-800 per service. Its currently at 45k KM. no probs except for AC leakage at 5000km which was covered under waranty.

        Honestly, i still believe its cheaper to maintain a Euro marque compared to the japs (in malaysia that is). But ofcourse, spare parts are more expensive. I still service all cars at their respective authorised centres for waranty purposes.

        All prices were inclusive of taxes and labour.

            Nope. Typically overseas contis have a 30-35k interval, Japanese cars around 20k. 15k should be perfectly fine then, and the 5k that Honda requires is outright ridiculous and sounds more like an attempt to give their SC more work/money.

          Yes its true. The service interval is every 15k. However, I would prefer to service it every 10k instead even though fully synthetic oil is used. For me, I think it over stretched the oil usability and my decision for doing so is because our country is hot and humid whole year. It put a lot of stress on the engine and lubricant

          But the disadvantage is that the engine fails prematurely, along with the transmission.

    And finally they actually priced the Polo Sedan at a more realistic 87k. The previous 100k was an insult considering the FIesta Sedan (Then) had more kit.

        1. City DOES have ESC. Check before you write.

        2. Of course. And here is the reason. You see, the Polo Sedan is not that fantastically spacious, unlike the Almera. It’s styling is well, so-so. Safety is a big meh too. The old Fiesta Sedan had better safety and more tech for 81k. This one? Rip off 99888. (Mind you, the 99888 was while the old Fiesta was still on sale)

        Yes the govt hentam us kaw kaw with tax. but don’t think your distributor is one big angel too. Go look at a Toyota and you will see how much the distributor takes. VW is emulating the bad habits of Toyota, but not taking Toyota’s good habits… ie good aftersales service.

      Not saying it’s the deal of the century, but looking at the specs and price, it does seems like a serious contender in the 80-90k B segment market now.

      Will you go for..
      A slightly more refined 6 speed Polo?
      A matured, decent City?
      A good RV (lol) Vios?
      A fun to drive Fiesta?
      A slightly cheaper, well-spec Rio?
      A funky dashboard Sonic?
      An under-the-radar Mazda 2?
      A controversial looking Almera?

      Disclaimer: Apologize if I offend anyone with the description, it is impossible to be totally not biased. But in the end, we’re spoilt for choices.

      I am the owner of polo sedan first version. My mileage has clocked 70,000 km already. Yes the car have no special gadgets like kia, hyundai or what so ever…. but you can feel the difference of quality when you drive it. I don’t really require all those techs into my ride… but VW compensate it with good quality and reliable car.
      Comparing preve, kia, hyundai, toyota,honda all high tech with polo sedan low tech… same like comparing kancil installed with gadgets to simple old type merc that still widely used as taxi nowdays at rural area.
      Test drive it for you to believe it…
