Detailed analysis of the Volkswagen Polo 5p Sport 1.2 70 CV BlueMotion Technology (2011)
General description
The 2009 Volkswagen Polo, in its 5-door Sport 1.2 70 HP version with BlueMotion technology, is presented as a compact and efficient option. This model, which was marketed between 2011 and 2011, offered a balanced proposal for those looking for an urban car with Volkswagen's seal of quality.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel, the Polo 1.2 70 HP feels agile in the urban environment, thanks to its three-cylinder, 1198 cc engine that delivers 69 HP at 5400 rpm and a torque of 112 Nm at 3000 rpm. The 5-speed manual gearbox allows for smooth driving, although for overtakes on the road it may require anticipation. The suspension, McPherson type at the front and trailing arm with torsional element at the rear, offers a good compromise between comfort and stability. The electro-hydraulic steering contributes to a precise sense of control. Its acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 14.1 seconds and a top speed of 165 km/h position it as a vehicle for mostly urban and peri-urban use, where its combined consumption of 5.2 l/100km (NEDC) is very attractive.
Design and aesthetics
The design of the 2009 Volkswagen Polo is a reflection of the sobriety and functionality that characterize the brand. With its 3970 mm length, 1682 mm width, and 1462 mm height, and a wheelbase of 2470 mm, it offers a compact and well-proportioned aesthetic. The five doors facilitate access to the cabin, and its 280-liter trunk is sufficient for daily use. The 15-inch wheels with 185/60 R15 tires complement its image, adding a touch of sportiness without being flashy. The interior, although not detailed in the data, follows Volkswagen's line of offering a well-finished and ergonomic cabin.
Technology and features
This Polo incorporates efficiency-oriented technology, such as the Stop&Start system, which helps reduce consumption and CO2 emissions (119 g/km, Euro 5). The indirect injection gasoline engine, with an aluminum block and cylinder head, is an example of lightweight engineering. In terms of safety, it has 256 mm ventilated disc brakes on the front axle and 220 mm drums on the rear, a suitable configuration for its weight and performance. The electro-hydraulic power steering improves maneuverability and the sense of control.
Competition
In the utility vehicle segment, the 2009 Volkswagen Polo competed against rivals such as the Ford Fiesta, Opel Corsa, Renault Clio, and SEAT Ibiza. Compared to them, the Polo stood out for its quality finishes, its brand image, and its efficiency, especially in this BlueMotion Technology version. Although other rivals could offer more dynamic behavior or a bolder design, the Polo positioned itself as a more rational option with a generally higher residual value.
Conclusion
The 2009 Volkswagen Polo 5p Sport 1.2 70 HP BlueMotion Technology is a car that more than fulfills its purpose as a utility vehicle. It offers a remarkable balance between efficiency, build quality, and dynamic behavior suitable for most drivers. Its price of €14,580 at the time, with an official discount of €1,675, made it a competitive option in its segment. It is a vehicle that, despite its age, remains a sensible choice for those looking for a reliable and economical car to maintain.
