Not particularly happy about this, wonder how many in VW knew this was coming......

Re MY16 Polo Gti. If RVC camera is now standard, the Driver Assistance package should be cheaper. However, if electronic dampers are now an option, that may probably be put into the DAP package, so option pricing may still be about the same? Comments?

Volkswagen Polo GTI upgraded with adjustable suspension, Sport mode – UPDATE

In the article in reference to the Polo GTI’s Sport Select system it states "while the system is available in Europe as an optional extra, it comes to the local Polo GTI as standard equipment."

The author also states "the Polo GTI’s price remains unchanged at $27,990 plus on-road costs." I thought the base MRRP was $27490?

Since the RVC in also now standard the DAP package may be less desirable to some. Just wish they package the LED with the DAP and maybe offer the adaptive cruise control.

thats pretty infuriating, thats really the one thing the car could do with

If RVC and dampers are standard on MY16, it seems like VW are raising the base price by $500 to cover these items. Packaging SAT NAV and LED as DAP would be a good option.

VW site still has current MY15 options in Build and Price area

Aww well... Sh*t happens and we move on... But hey I've had a MY15 for the last 2 months and I'm happy to have one before most people.
Can't always complain. I know atleast I was going to go down the Coilover option in a few years time so electronic dampers were one extra thing to worry about in a long list of electronics. I have LEDs already as I got the lux pack. So yes, I aint too happy about the RVC n sensors when I heard about it but I can always retro them in with OEM items. *Shrug*

I suppose it is inevitable that more "options" become standard fitments as the competition from other brands hots up with more standard equipment appearing on their vehicles at less or equal cost to previous MY models. Not so long ago, power windows and air-conditioning were optional items

In 1993 I paid $2000 extra for aircon and power steering on a lancer.

I think the 6R comfortline inclusions changed over time. Changing the 6C so early into the model run is a bit rude though I reckon.

[Hail22]

Oh dear...Volkswagen



Great for new buyers, not so great for people who purchased MY15's

You're not wrong. I'd be spewing if I was one of the early adopters.

In regards to Sports Select dampers, a number of the test reports used the wording such as "not available locally from launch" and comments "Asked if ‘Sport Select’ could be added to the sports model at a later stage, Gehling said, “It’s always a possibility”. This comment caught my eye from the Valencia launch day "a key member of the Polo GTI’s chassis development team told CarAdvice that not presenting buyers with at least the option of having Sport Select was “senseless”.

As a result I was of the view that it would be offered eventually, pleasant surprise that it's this early in the cycle. That and the CarPlay fitment have removed any doubts I had about ordering when I get back from Europe.
