New Polo GTI

Volkswagen has announced the arrival of the Polo GTI. Although the standard version was unveiled last month, a powerful GTI car can be expected to arrive.

Like other GTI models, the Polo GTI will have a new front grille with integrated LED lights on the side, a red line between the grille and headlights like on the Golf GTI.

Although there is no information about the engine, the Polo is expected to be powered by a turbo petrol 2.0-liter engine with 197 hp and 236 lb-ft of torque. It will use a six-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and will reach 62 mph in 6.7 seconds with a top speed of 147 mph (237 km / h).

The arrival of the new Polo GTI is expected in June this year.

VW ID.Buzz Level 4

By 2025, Volkswagen intends to commercialize the electric van, ID.Buzz Level 4. The car is currently in the testing phase and will use Argo AI technology.

The presentation of the autonomous ID.Buzz vehicle will be in Qatar in 2022. It will be used in public transport on certain routes during the World Cup.

Volkswagen says that the commercial use of the van will be similar to that used by another company within the Volkswagen Group – Moia. ID.Buzz will only operate in certain areas.

Volkswagen is the first company to offer this level of automation. Honda claims that the new generation of Legend sedan will use level 3, in Japan. Late last year, General Motors began testing level 4 in San Francisco.
