Volkswagen South Africa has launched its new Polo Vivo Maxx.<\/p>\n

According to a statement released by the company on Friday (1 June), the car will be available from local dealerships\u00a0for\u00a0R225,000.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It also follows recent trends by other car manufacturers to offer a low-end ‘crossover-hatch’ model, with Hyundai recently announcing its new i20<\/a> <\/strong>and Renault announcing its new Sandero Stepway<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Volkswagen said that the Maxx will only be offered in a hatch body version, and will boast a\u00a01.6 77kW engine that is mated to a\u00a05-speed manual transmission.<\/p>\n

“The exterior features include 15mm raised suspension, 17-inch ‘Canyon’ alloy wheels, silver coloured exterior mirrors, Maxx lettering on the tailgate and sides, sporty single-pipe exhaust system with a chrome trim, and aluminium roof rails,” it said<\/p>\n

“In the interior, Polo Vivo Maxx has sport pedal clusters, centre console in coloured trim, on-board computer, front electric windows, manual air-conditioner, 3-spoke leather multi-function steering wheel with aluminium insert, colour touch radio with SD\/USB\/Bluetooth\/App Connect and 6 speakers, as well as loose lay carpets mats.”<\/p>\n

Volkswagen said that the car\u00a0Polo Vivo Maxx comes standard with 3 year\/120 000km warranty and 6-year anti-corrosion warranty<\/p>\n

Customers can also tailor their package with the optional maintenance plan and service plan.<\/p>\n
