The tested model of Volkswagen Polo was introduced in Australia and New Zealand during 2010.
The left-hand-drive European model with combo side airbags was tested by Euro NCAP. Australasian specifications may vary and therefore models sold in Australasia might provide different levels of protection to those described on this page.
Dual front airbags, side airbags and head-protecting side curtain airbags are standard equipment. Antilock brakes (ABS), electronic brakeforce distribution (EBD), emergency brake assist (EBA) and electronic stability control (ESC) are also standard. Intelligent seat belt reminders are fitted to both front seats.
Pretensioners are fitted to the front seat belts to reduce slack in the event of a crash. A three point seat belt is fitted to the centre rear seat. This provides better protection than a two point (lap) seat belt.
