Despite the fact that the Polo model belongs to the budget class of cars, some of its parameters are impressive and surprising. For example: the volume of the luggage compartment, which is slightly less than 500 liters. Not expected, but it's a fact.
The maximum that they expected was 350 - 380 liters. The rear row of seats will comfortably accommodate two passengers in the 80+ weight category, or three, but with smaller parameters. Ideal for those who want to travel with family and friends.
Sedan 2015 and up luggage compartment dimensions are 460 liters. Engineers did not develop anything new and "placed" identical trunks on different body modifications. Competitors of the Kia, Hyundai, Lada models are 475, 500, 525 liters, respectively. Not the best indicator for Polo.
The lack of a compartment for suitcases is compensated by the convenience for passengers in the rear row of seats. You can increase the usable space by installing an additional box for things on the roof. These are plastic products for transportation. On sale modifications with a lock, a code and without limiters.
If necessary, the back row is folded, increasing the volume by 37%. Convenient and practical when transporting oversized cargo, a large number of duffel suitcases.

Causes of a malfunctioning trunk lock
- damage to electrical wiring;
- fuse failure;
- negative consequences of an accident, accident, collision;
- the presence of dust, dirt, moisture inside the lock, as a result of which it cannot fully function;
- natural wear of the internal connecting parts of the lock, drive.
Before replacing, we diagnose what exactly has become unusable. We check the mechanism, the drive. If the lid opens with a button, but there is no reaction to the key, then the core must be replaced. When it opens the other way around, you need to replace the button or troubleshoot the electrical cable. The third option is to replace the fuse.
It often happens that the breakdown lurks in the ignition key or core bushings. On the center console of the Volkswagen Polo, an indicator indicates an “open” trunk lid, which is actually not true.
Volkswagen Polo trunk button replacement
The button - the activator of the Volkswagen Polo trunk lid is installed on the left door (driver's) in the lower part. This is not the only way to open the suitcase compartment. The manufacturer has provided a classic version - the key. The keyhole (core) is installed on the cover on the right side. To open, you will need to insert the key, turn it 90 °.
Preparatory stage: a set of automotive tools, a multimeter, electrical wires, insulation, contacts, terminals, a new mechanical button.
Replacement sequence
- Volkswagen Polo is in transport position, free access around the perimeter;
- open the hood, reset both terminals from the battery to avoid a short circuit;
- in the front, driver's door, we proceed to dismantle the door card. We use a screwdriver with a flat tip;
- from the inside, disconnect the contact boards from the mechanical buttons, the control unit;
- remove the trunk lid activation button, install a new one;
- with a multimeter, we check the integrity of the electrical wiring inside the doorway. If the arrow points to infinity, we replace the wiring, as a short circuit is detected, damage to the insulating layer;
- upon completion, all components are installed in their original place, the assembly is completed.
What to do if the trunk does not open
It often happens that the trunk lid jams at the most unexpected moment when there is no key or other tools for picking at hand. Official guidelines do not exist in nature, but in practice the following techniques have developed:
- from the inside of the Volkswagen Polo, fold the upper part of the rear row of seats;
- climb into the resulting opening, open the trunk lock from the inside. The manufacturer has provided a special lever for this, by sliding which the lid opens. Emergency exit.
This method is effective for both sedan and hatchback. If it is not possible to get inside the Volkswagen Polo, while the trunk is closed, use the following method. Using a hammer or other object, try to knock out the core of the trunk lid lock. Then open it. It's more of an exception than the rule. In the event of such situations, the owners call the masters of the service center, specialists who pick up the master keys and unlock the lock without damaging the core. The only negative is the high cost of on-site car service.
The service life of the castle, the core is over 200,000 km. mileage, subject to systematic inspection, lubrication of parts and prevention.
Volkswagen Polo sedan is a German car of the European class-B, produced for the Russian market at the Volkswagen Group Rus enterprise near Kaluga since June 2010. There is an opinion that the Polo sedan was created exclusively for the market of Russia and the CIS countries, but this is not so.
Continuation review about the budget sedan VW Polo Sedan:
In India, the model is sold under the name Volkswagen Vento, in South America, South Africa and China, the car is known as the Volkswagen Polo Classic. So the hero of our review is a global project and was created for countries where sedan cars are very popular. For example, in China and India, classic sedans account for more than 80% of passenger car sales. In Russia, the indicator of sedan love is less - 60%.
Salon - ergonomics, assembly, disadvantages
saloon Volkswagen Polo sedan in highline configuration Salon Volkswagen Polo Sedan continues the severity and classics, inspired by the appearance of the car. Comfortable front seats with an excellent profile, dense padding and a wide range of adjustments, there is a driver's seat lift. The optimally sized steering wheel is adjustable for height and reach, an informative instrument panel with two dials and a trip computer screen.
Front dashboard and center console with an arrangement of buttons, knobs and switches adjusted to the centimeter. The “handle” of the gearbox is in the right place, the shifts are clear, the lever moves are not great.
In the second row, three passengers have enough space for a comfortable location, legroom and headroom with a margin, some discomfort due to the high tunnel is experienced by the person sitting in the center.
Finishing materials are budget, but their quality does not suffer from this. When getting into the car, you pay attention to the wide and powerful thresholds (an instant feeling of security arises), but when leaving the car, you need to be careful and not get your foot dirty on the same large threshold from the outside.
Trunk Polo sedan allows you to load 460 liters, with the second row seats folded down, the cargo volume is about 950 liters.
Disadvantages of interior assembly:
- - hard and resonant plastic,
- - inconvenient location of the handbrake, which, being in the working position, rests on the armrest,
- - lack of buttons for controlling the rear windows on the driver's door,
- - poor basic equipment.
Options and cost Volkswagen Polo Sedan in Russia

In addition to the most packaged version of the Volkswagen Polo Sedan, climate control, the ParkPilot system, side airbags, a stabilization system, and parking sensors are offered as an option. How much does the most fancy Polo sedan with the maximum set of options cost? Highline + Premium package costs 698,180 rubles. And for that kind of money, you can easily buy a Ford Focus Trend Sport in a far from poor configuration.
Since June 2015, an updated version of one of the flagships of the Russian B-class cars, the Volkswagen Polo sedan, has become available to motorists.
As a result of restyling, the car has undergone some changes in body design and interior, and also received technical solutions that were not available in previous versions. The updated Volkswagen Polo, like the previous versions of this car, is completely produced at the plant in Kaluga.
A bit of history
The peculiarities of the climate and the quality of the road surface have made the Russian automotive market one of the most demanding. In order to become popular in Russia, a car must be powerful, have good ground clearance, high build quality and, most importantly, be inexpensive.
Polo Sedan first appeared on Russian roads as far back as 2010. When developing this model, the peculiarities of operating conditions in our country were taken into account. Corrosion-resistant body, sufficiently powerful and unpretentious engine, German quality of materials and pleasant appearance made it the best-selling car in the b-class sedan segment in Russia. Despite the fact that the car was developed specifically for Russia, it also sells well in other countries, such as China and South Africa.
Appearance Polo sedan in 2016 year is unlikely to seriously change after last year's restyling. The exterior of the bumpers has changed, a chrome strip appeared on the rear trunk lid. And the key cylinder was removed from the trunk lid. The design of the radiator grille, foglights has changed, LED daytime running lights have appeared. Minor changes noticeably refreshed the appearance of an affordable sedan, as you can see in the photo below. 
Inside Polo 2016 you won't find much change. In the initial equipment, the same rough dark and very budget plastic. But the dull interior in expensive equipment will please you with a bright light design, you can appreciate it in the photo below. You can note the changes on the dashboard, which has become more informative and convenient. Otherwise, everything is still qualitatively assembled and does not raise any complaints about the gaps. Replacing the chain-driven engine with its belt modification and strengthening the sound insulation of the engine compartment improved the acoustic comfort in the cabin.
Equipment
As for the configuration, here potential buyers will have something to surprise and please. The list of packages will remain the same, however, some of them will receive additional equipment. For example, in the Comfortline configuration, buyers receive basic and optional: new more powerful headlights; bi-xenon head optics; LED daytime running lights; headlight washers; fog lights with cornering lights; electric folding exterior mirrors (for the first time in class B); front parking sensors (for the first time for class B).
It is also worth noting the presence in the basic configuration of such equipment as: reinforced suspension for bad roads; adaptation of the car to hot and cold weather conditions; power windows on all side windows; central locking; navigator; front airbags; Daytime Running Lights; ABS; rear LED license plate light.
Of course, as the configuration grows, the buyer will be able to receive more and more. But you will have to pay extra for it accordingly. The price of the new Volkswagen Polo Sedan 2016-2017 Sales of the updated Volkswagen Polo Sedan 2016-2017 in Russia will begin in mid-June this year. The novelty is already being assembled at the facilities of the Volkswagen Group Rus plant, located in the city of Kaluga. Here, work began in May of this year.
Specifications
If we talk about the technical characteristics, here we have not received anything new. Russian buyers will be offered two power units to choose from. Both are petrol and with the same working volume. The initial engine with a volume of 1.6 liters produces 85 horsepower and 145 Nm of torque. Equipped with a five-speed manual gearbox. This tandem provides the dynamics of acceleration from zero to hundreds in 11.9 seconds. The maximum speed is 179 kilometers per hour. 
Fuel consumption - 6.4 liters per 100 kilometers in mixed mode. The older engine is more attractive. Its volume is the same 1.6 liters, but the power has increased to 105 horsepower and torque to 153 Nm. It can work with a five-speed mechanics or a six-speed automatic. On a manual transmission, acceleration from zero to a hundred takes 10.5 seconds, on an automatic transmission - 12.1 seconds. The maximum speed in both cases is 190 kilometers per hour. The declared fuel consumption rate is 6.5 and 7.0 liters in mixed mode per 100 kilometers for mechanics and automatic, respectively.

Comparison pricesVolkswagenPolo 2016 with the main rivals shows that in the initial configuration of the Conceptline for 524,900 rubles, only Renault Logan, which is even cheaper, can create competition. True, in this case we are talking about the initial versions of both sedans with relatively weak engines with a capacity of 82-85 forces. Comparison of the "middle" version of Trendline with a 110-horsepower engine already indicates that the purchase of such Polo in a new body for 602,900 rubles is the most profitable.
After all, Logan for 540 thousand has only one airbag and is not equipped with air conditioning, the surcharge for which is 25 thousand rubles. Equipping Renault with a similar set of equipment makes it not so attractive anymore. price. The same applies to competitors such as the Nissan Almera and the updated Kia Rio (see table).

The 5th generation Volkswagen Polo compact sedan (2015 restyling) is based on the PQ25 platform from the Polo hatchback. The car's suspension is built according to the classical scheme: front MacPherson struts and rear semi-independent beam. The body dimensions of the model are as follows: length - 4390 mm, width - 1699 mm, height - 1467 mm. The wheelbase is 2553 mm, the ground clearance is 163 mm. In the segment of budget B-class cars, Polo competes with and, which have similar technical characteristics.
As a power plant, the model uses a 1.6-liter engine with distributed fuel injection. From the start of sales (May 2015), the motor had two power options: 85 and 105 hp. However, already in September, the plant in Kaluga began assembling upgraded versions of this unit. In November, improved engines with increased to 90 and 110 hp. recoil began to be installed under the hood of all cars descending from the assembly line. In addition to peak power, the torque has also grown slightly, reaching 155 Nm (available at 3800-4000 rpm).
New engines assembled in Kaluga not only increased power, but also significantly reduced the amount of harmful emissions, which allowed them to meet Euro-5 standards. The fuel consumption of the Polo sedan has also been reduced. Now the "junior" 90-horsepower engine, combined with a 5-speed manual, consumes an average of about 5.7 liters of gasoline. As for the 110-horsepower unit, it consumes not much more fuel - 5.8-5.9 liters (transmissions - 5MKPP and 6AKPP).

Motorists have no reason to doubt the high quality of this brand. The balance of the budget segment, technical characteristics brought the foreign car world-wide, well-deserved fame. The creaking of parts, the noise from the timing chain are somewhat annoying, although all the shortcomings are covered by a reliable suspension that puts the unit on its “head” higher compared to its “brothers” in the workshop from the German automobile industry. What can be said about the volume of the trunk of the Volkswagen Polo, an important factor in the purchase?
What did the designers achieve?
You will be interested:
Any person who buys a car thinks about a capacious compartment. On versions other than the Volkswagen Polo, the trunk volume is from 300 to 500 liters. By folding the rear seats, you can load a large amount of things and go on a road trip over long distances.
The trunk depends on the configuration of the vehicle. The impressive parameters of the department are not at all inherent in the budget categories of transport. If you want to travel with your family, you can fold the rear seats and increase the capacity up to 80 points.
Sedan. How is the compartment?
The trunk of the Volkswagen Polo sedan, the volume of which is 460 liters, is well designed by the developers. The manufacturer decided not to deviate from tradition and not “reinvent the wheel” by placing similar compartments on different versions of the body. The Polo, unlike the competitive Kia, Hyundai, does not have the best parameter.
It is impossible to put suitcases freely, but this makes it possible for passengers to sit more comfortably in the back row.
Solution to increase space
The best way out of a situation where you need to place a large load in a passenger car and expand the volume of the trunk of the Volkswagen Polo is to purchase a special complex for transporting things. The design is simple, it is installed on the roof of the vehicle. Boxing is made of high-quality plastic, has combination locks. The cargo is placed in it, greatly facilitating the tasks of transportation. There are a huge number of such options on the market for any model.
Design advantages
The bottom of the trunk is 999 mm. In width, the distance between the wheel arches is 1,344 mm. In height, the design is designed with a size of 452 mm, and this figure is quite coping with the placement of four standard suitcases. Mainly in the Volkswagen Polo, the trunk volume is of interest to buyers who want to buy a hatchback or other equipment from the Germans.
These values are valuable for people who have a dacha, often travel out of town or live in private homes. On hatchbacks, the capacity is 280 liters and it is endowed with a height of about 500 mm, so you can transport a folding table, for example, without problems.
Fifth generation VW POLO
In the Volkswagen Polo 2018 model, the trunk volume is much more pleasing compared to the “relatives” from this collection. Here it is equal to 520 liters, which is almost a record mark for this vehicle. The saloon of this class of sedan has hardly changed, it resembles the interior of hatchbacks. There were no special restyling changes.
Why does the trunk lock break?
Sometimes you just can’t get into the compartment due to a malfunction of the lock. Some drivers are interested not only in the trunk volume of the Volkswagen Polo in liters, but also in the reliability of the opening system. It happens that you have to contact the service to replace this important part. The reasons may lie in the following:
Secrets of replacing the activator button
