Volkswagen Launches Polo CityLife in Australia, With Wireless App‑Connect Standard for MY26

Volkswagen targets value‑conscious Polo buyers with a mid‑tier CityLife grade to revive showroom interest.

Overview

  • Priced at $32,790 before on‑road costs, the CityLife sits between the Life ($30,790) and Style ($34,790) variants.
  • The special edition adds 16‑inch Torsby alloys, rear privacy glass, blind‑spot monitoring, rear cross‑traffic alert, keyless entry, dual‑zone climate control and Park Assist.
  • From MY26, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard across the Polo range with no price changes reported.
  • Power comes from an 85 kW/200 Nm 1.0‑litre three‑cylinder turbo paired with a seven‑speed DSG, with a claimed 5.5 L/100 km combined consumption.
  • Australian showroom arrivals begin in November 2025, following similar CityLife editions for T‑Cross and T‑Roc, as Polo deliveries fell 50.6% year‑to‑date to 578 through August.
