You referred to the headlights as xenon led in one case and just as xenon in another. The base and life models come standard with led headlights with the IQ Matrix LED's as an option on the Life

[@MuziSambo]

That's exactly the message I was trying to convey, I just didn't package it properly. I'll pin your comment so that those who are confused can get some clarity.

[@rudyardharrison4177]

The bottom line for me is that there are far too many options on today's vehicles. It is confusing for the potential buyer and in the end is a money making enterprise by the auto makers. I do not believe that most motorists are demanding all of these options. There is dishonesty involved as well. On several occasions I have asked if a basic car is available, only to be told that I would have to order one and that it will take several months for the order to be filled. This is not acceptable. Dealers are just going ahead and ordering vehicles that have either a full or a partial bunch of expensive options. Maybe these options don't add so much to the buyer's monthly payments but for those of us who can pay cash, the difference in the purchasing price is considerable. Keep up the honest reporting Muzi.

@@rudyardharrison4177 check the VW configurator and you will see the Polo has way too little options and I love that.

I've been searching the whole of KZbin for this video and I finally found it. 🙂

I hope the video was helpful

In the U.K. we have it simpler. The base is the Life spec which seems to be similar to your life although it gets the basic digital cockpit as standard and no parking sensors. You can also spec a DSG. Then style which has matrix IQ and the upgraded dash with sat nav but no option for DSG. Finally we get R line which seems like a slightly premium Style (no matrix as standard, but you do get an optional DSG). It’s a strange line up as I wanted the Style with DSG but ended up having to order a Life instead and spec DSG, driver convenience pack and a few others to get it where I wanted.

Great Review. As a Life owner coming from the 2017 GP Comfortline, I wouldn't say there's much of a difference between the 2017 model comfort and the entry Polo TSI 2022. But if you're looking to upscale, the Life is definitely the way to go.

[@tshabzin2709]

Great review as always But if money was not an issue I would go for Polo Life

[@MuziSambo]

As an owner of a polo vivo, I think the base model polo is a great offering. None of the missing features are a deal breaker to me cos performance wise they are just the same.

[@bongangombane4926]

Hi bhut Mizo, love your content as always. Please test the 85kw DSG variant if they allow you to.

[@shaunsingh5179]

Love your honest reviews, bro!

[@siyabulelamatiwana2102]

Missed the active info display on the life Vs the digital cockpit of the base model...it's the added extra that really makes the price difference

[@MuziSambo]

You are right, Thank you for pointing that out👊🏽

[@thabomahlangu8236]

No the base model also comes with the active info display as standard now. Just bought one and didn't need to pay extra.

[@MuziSambo]

@@thabomahlangu8236 On the base model you get a smaller display as standard...The 12" active info display is optional.

In as far as I know those options are only available on the GTI.

R311k for a base with many missing options? Ay ngeke

[@MuziSambo]

😂😂😂...I'm tired of complaining about prices. Now I just mention it and move on😁

[@sillimilli3802]

But it comes standard with LED lights, reasonably sized infotainment screen and a standard digital display. I think the price is reasonable considering its place in the market

[@pikolomziqaba196]

So would you advise T cross or TSI polo if a person will travel on offroads once in a while???

[@MuziSambo]

😊Mr Qaba, you sound like you already convinced yourself to get a T-cross because you will drive off-road "once in a while" and you now just want our approval😁😁and no matter what we say you'll still go for the T-cross anyway.😁 You can't make a decision on which car to buy based on the info in your question. You need to consider your lifestyle holistically. Do you have kids, do you really need an SUV, what kind of off-roading are you gonna be doing cos a T-cross is not really an off-road car. Top signs you are about to make a bad decision 👇 1. You compare cars of the same brand 2. Compare cars in different segments (SUV vs Hatchback)

Did the TSI engine not increase to 85W output with the 2022 models?

I think thats only available on the R-Line or Life DSG. The Life manual and the entry-level are both 70kw

[@mayanstegmann]

@@info_dash313 Ok, that makes sense. I got my Life DSG today and I recall the dealer mentioning 85KW output.

It's coming in March according to VW

Some dealerships are saying it might come in march and some are saying August. The issue of R-line is just confusing.

Is it possible to buy the armrest from polo for the base polo and how much is it?

[@MuziSambo]

Sadly you can't do that.

[@gcininzolosivuku3213]

I am disappointed , one can't add simple arm rest . Can I be able to add cruise control in base model ,?

[@jeffreykaturuza3159]

I'm sure you can. You retrofit those, check on KZbin just type retrofitting a center armrest in a polo tsi you will get a tutorial

[@amazingkhaz]

I would love to put one on mine

Get rid of that manual handbrake and then I'd consider one of these. Their interiors are better Than the Golf MK 8.

[@sipheleleblose2209]

Any idea how much will polo life with automatic DSG transmission cost?

No info on pricing at the moment, VW tends to share pricing info closer to the launch date of the cars.
