Sport Select suspension and Driving Mode Selection

The Polo is available with optional Sport Select suspension, which is always offered together with driving mode selection. The switchable dampers allow the driver to adjust the damping characteristic. Within Driving Mode Selection, the two modes Normal and Sport can be activated. The Driving Mode Selection system itself offers the four modes of Normal, Sport, Eco and Individual. Driving Mmode Selection makes it possible for the driver to select individual settings within a defined framework. These have a direct impact on driving behavior. In addition to the Sport Select suspension itself, the steering, engine characteristics and gearbox control are all adjusted in line with the profile selected.

The specified fuel consumption and emission data are determined in accordance with the measurement procedures prescribed by law. 1 January 2022, the WLTP test cycle completely replaced the NEDC test cycle and therefore no NEDC values are available for new type approved vehicles after that date.

This information does not refer to a single vehicle and is not part of the offer but is only intended for comparison between different types of vehicles. Additional equipment and accessories (additional components, tyre formats, etc.) can alter relevant vehicle parameters such as weight, rolling resistance and aerodynamics, affecting the vehicle's fuel consumption, power consumption, CO2 emissions and driving performance values in addition to weather and traffic conditions and individual driving behavior.

Due to more realistic testing conditions, fuel consumption and CO2 emissions measured according to WLTP will in many cases be higher than the values measured according to NEDC. As a result, the taxation of vehicles may change accordingly as of 1 September 2018. For further information on the differences between WLTP and NEDC, please visit www.volkswagen.de/wltp.

Further information on official fuel consumption data and official specific CO2 emissions for new passenger cars can be found in the "Guide to fuel economy, CO2 emissions and power consumption for new passenger car models", which is available free of charge from all sales dealerships and from DAT Deutsche Automobil Treuhand GmbH, Hellmuth-Hirth-Str. 1, D-73760 Ostfildern, Germany and at www.dat.de/co2.
