Volkswagen South Africa (VW SA) has released pricing and specifications for the refreshed Polo Vivo GT. See pricing below…
SPECIFICATION
VW SA says the range-topping Polo Vivo’s exterior styling has been enhanced. The Polo Vivo GT features silver mirror caps and several “GT” decals on the bodywork. The GT variant sits on a set of 18-inch Mirabeau wheels. In addition, the GT’s suspension is 15 mm lower than the standard Vivo models. The exhaust features chrome trim. Other standard features include VW’s Light and Vision package.
The cloth inserts and contrast stitching hues have been changed from blue to red “for a sportier interior look”. New grey stitching has been applied to the gear lever. “GT” is embroidered on the mats. Sports seats are standard, as are aluminium-look pedals and Anthracite headlining and cruise control.
Five exterior colour options are available. A new hue has been added to the colour palette — Wild Cherry Red metallic.
