Volkswagen European marketing campaign for new Polo kicks off

Volkswagen European marketing campaign for new Polo kicks off
  • Focus on assistance and convenience systems
  • Emotional father-son story at heart of campaign

Volkswagen's European marketing campaign for the market launch of the new Polo kicks off today. "As one of the world's most advanced small cars, the new Polo calls the tune in its class when it comes to safety – something that is important to people. Our campaign highlights this subject in typical Volkswagen style: emotional, authentic and humorous", Jürgen Stackmann, Volkswagen Brand Board Member for Sales, said.

The sixth generation of the Polo takes convenience and assistance technologies found in upper segments to the small car class. The TV spot, print ads and social media content in the campaign highlight how the new Polo combines safety with adventure.

The TV spot telling an emotional father-son story illustrates how assistance systems can enrich lives. In a humorous journey through time, the spot documents the father's unsuccessful attempts to assist his adventurous son. But he can finally lean back and relax when he is sitting next to him in the new Polo.

The innovative technologies in the new Polo include among other things assistance systems such as the Blind Spot Sensor Lane Change assistant or the Pedestrian Monitoring system which comes as standard; this is an extension of the Front Assist area monitoring system.

The 360° campaign kicks off simultaneously in over 30 European countries.

The print campaign focuses on modern convenience and safety technologies such as the Front Assist area monitoring system with City Emergency Braking and Pedestrian Monitoring. The new Polo is also the star of entertaining feature films for the relevant social media channels.

DDB Berlin, DDB Hamburg and Adam&Eve DDB London are the agencies responsible for the campaign.

The specified fuel consumption and emission data have been determined according to the measurement procedures prescribed by law. Since 1st September 2017, certain new vehicles are already being type-approved according to the Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP), a more realistic test procedure for measuring fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. Starting on September 1st 2018, the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC) will be replaced by the WLTP in stages. Owing to the more realistic test conditions, the fuel consumption and CO2 emissions measured according to the WLTP will, in many cases, be higher than those measured according to the NEDC. For further information on the differences between the WLTP and NEDC, please visit www.volkswagen.de/wltp.

We are currently still required by law to state the NEDC figures. In the case of new vehicles which have been type-approved according to the WLTP, the NEDC figures are derived from the WLTP data. It is possible to specify the WLTP figures voluntarily in addition until such time as this is required by law. In cases where the NEDC figures are specified as value ranges, these do not refer to a particular individual vehicle and do not constitute part of the sales offering. They are intended exclusively as a means of comparison between different vehicle types. Additional equipment and accessories (e.g. add-on parts, different tyre formats, etc.) may change the relevant vehicle parameters, such as weight, rolling resistance and aerodynamics, and, in conjunction with weather and traffic conditions and individual driving style, may affect fuel consumption, electrical power consumption, CO2 emissions and the performance figures for the vehicle.

Further information on official fuel consumption figures and the official specific CO2 emissions of new passenger cars can be found in the “Guide on the fuel economy, CO2 emissions and power consumption of new passenger car models”, which is available free of charge at all sales dealerships and from DAT Deutsche Automobil Treuhand GmbH, Hellmuth-Hirth-Str. 1, D-73760 Ostfildern, Germany and at www.dat.de.
