Dimensions of the trunk of the Polo sedan in cm. Technical characteristics of the Volkswagen Polo sedan. Comparative characteristics of Volkswagen Polo luggage compartments

Another short article telling about a wonderful budget sedan. So, trunk size Volkswagen Polo The sedan is not big compared to other cars, less than 500 liters. It is not surprising that the trunk of the Volkswagen Polo sedan appeared in an unnatural way.

The trunk was implanted into the European Polo hatchback and sent to conquer the Russian market. And it must be admitted that it was quite successful; in 2013 alone, the Polo sedan sold 72,565 units across the country, taking fifth place in the overall ranking of passenger cars sold in Russia.

Trunk volume Volkswagen Polo sedan is 460 liters, for example Granta has 520 liters. And most competitors in this segment have larger trunks. Let's say the Hyundai Solaris has a trunk of 470 liters, and a Kia Rio has 500 liters! The new Chevrolet Aveo sedan has a total capacity of 502 liters.

And interior dimensions of the trunk of a Volkswagen Polo sedan in the picture with dimensions.

And if you fold the back seat of the Polo sedan, then it is quite possible to transport quite long loads. Since the Polo sedan trunk lid itself has a convenient design and opens wide. Some models have problems with this. When the opening into the open trunk itself is narrow and loading even a wide child seat is very problematic.

Despite the fact that the Polo model belongs to the budget class of cars, some of its parameters are impressive and surprising. For example: the volume of the luggage compartment, which is slightly less than 500 liters. It's not expected, but it's a fact.

The maximum that was expected was 350 - 380 liters. The rear row of seats will comfortably accommodate two passengers in the “80+” weight category, or three, but with smaller parameters. An ideal option for those who want to travel with family and friends.

The luggage compartment dimensions of the sedan produced in 2015 and above are 460 liters. The engineers did not develop anything new and “placed” identical trunks on different body modifications. Competitors' Kia, Hyundai, Lada models have 475, 500, 525 liters, respectively. Polo's record is not the best.

The lack of space for suitcases is compensated by the convenience for passengers in the rear row of seats. You can increase the usable space by installing an additional storage box on the roof. This plastic products for transportation. Modifications with a lock, code and without limiters are available for sale.

If necessary, the rear row folds, increasing the volume by 37%. Convenient and practical when transporting oversized cargo and a large number of duffel suitcases.

Causes of trunk lock malfunction

• damage to electrical wiring;
• fuse malfunction;
• negative consequences of an accident, traffic accident, collision;
• the presence of dust, dirt, moisture inside the lock, as a result of which it cannot fully function;
• natural wear and tear of the internal connecting parts of the lock and drive.

Before replacing, we diagnose what exactly has become unusable. We check the mechanism and drive. If the lid opens with a button, but there is no response to the key, then the core must be replaced. When it opens the other way around, the button needs to be replaced or the electrical cable needs to be troubleshooted. The third option is to replace the fuse.

It often happens that the breakdown is hidden in the ignition key or core bushings. On the center console of the Volkswagen Polo instruments, an indicator indicates an “unclosed” trunk lid, which is actually not true.

Replacing the trunk button of a Volkswagen Polo

The Volkswagen Polo trunk lid activator button is installed on the left door (driver's) in the lower part. This is not the only way to open the suitcase compartment. The manufacturer has provided a classic option - a key. The keyhole (core) is installed on the lid on the right side. To open, you will need to insert the key and turn it 90°.

Preparatory stage: a set of automotive tools, a multimeter, electric wires, insulation, contacts, terminals, new mechanical button.

Replacement sequence

• The Volkswagen Polo is in transport position, with unobstructed access around the perimeter;
• open the hood, remove both terminals from battery to avoid short circuit;
• In the front, driver's door, we begin to dismantle the door card. We use a flat-tip screwdriver;
• from the inside we disconnect the contact boards from the mechanical buttons and control unit;
• remove the trunk lid activation button and install a new one;
• Using a multimeter, we check the integrity of the electrical wiring inside the doorway. If the arrow points to infinity, we replace the wiring, since a short circuit or damage to the insulating layer is detected;
• upon completion, all components are installed in their normal place, the assembly is completed.

What to do if the trunk does not open

It often happens that the trunk lid gets jammed at the most unexpected moment, when there is no key or other tools for a master key at hand. Official methodological recommendations does not exist in nature, but in practice the following techniques have developed:

• from the interior side of the Volkswagen Polo, fold down the upper part of the rear row of seats;
• crawl through the resulting opening and open the trunk lock from the inside. The manufacturer has provided a special lever for this purpose, sliding which opens the lid. Emergency exit.

This method is effective for both sedan and hatchback. If it is not possible to get inside the Volkswagen Polo, but the trunk is closed, use the following method. Using a hammer or other object, try to knock out the core of the trunk lid lock. Then open it. This is rather an exception to the rule. When such situations arise, the owners call the service center technicians, specialists who select master keys and unlock the lock without damaging the core. The only negative is the high cost of on-site car service.

The service life of the lock and its core is over 200,000 km. mileage, subject to systematic inspection, lubrication of parts and preventive maintenance.

Reasons to doubt high quality Motorists do not have this brand. The balance of the budget segment and technical characteristics brought the foreign car worldwide, well-deserved fame. The creaking of parts and noise from the timing chain are somewhat annoying, although all the shortcomings are covered by a reliable suspension, which puts the unit a cut above compared to its “brothers” from the German automobile industry. What can you say about the trunk volume of the Volkswagen Polo, an important factor in the purchase?

What did the designers achieve?

Any person who buys a car thinks about a spacious compartment. On versions other than the Volkswagen Polo, the trunk volume ranges from 300 to 500 liters. By folding the rear seats, you can load a large number of things and go on long-distance road trips.

The trunk depends on the configuration motor vehicle. The impressive parameters of the department are not at all typical for budget categories of transport. If you want to travel with your family, you can fold the rear seats and increase the capacity by up to 80 points.

Sedan. What's the deal with the compartment?

The trunk of the Volkswagen Polo sedan, the volume of which is 460 liters, is well designed by the developers. The manufacturer decided not to deviate from tradition and not to “reinvent the wheel” by placing similar compartments on different versions of the body. Polo, unlike its competitors Kia and Hyundai, does not have the best parameters.

Suitcases cannot be placed freely, but this makes it possible for passengers in the back row to sit more comfortably.

Solution to increase space

The optimal way out of a situation where you need to place a large load in a car and expand the trunk volume of a Volkswagen Polo is to purchase a special complex for transporting things. The design is simple, it is installed on the roof of the vehicle. The box is made of high quality plastic and has combination locks. The cargo is placed in it, making transportation tasks much easier. There are a huge number of such options on the market for any model.

Design advantages

The bottom of the trunk is 999 mm. The width between the wheel arches is 1,344 mm. The height of the design is designed with a size of 452 mm, and this figure is quite capable of accommodating four standard suitcases. Mainly in the Volkswagen Polo, the trunk volume is of interest to buyers who want to buy a hatchback or another version of the car from the Germans.

These values ​​are valuable for people who have a dacha, often travel outside the city, or live in private houses. On hatchbacks, the capacity is 280 liters and the height is about 500 mm, so you can transport a folding table, for example, without problems.

Fifth generation VW POLO

In the 2018 Volkswagen Polo model, the trunk volume is much more pleasing compared to its “relatives” from this collection. Here it is equal to 520 liters, which is almost a record mark for this vehicle. The interior of the sedan of this class has hardly been changed; it resembles the interior decoration of hatchbacks. There were no special restyling changes.

Why does the trunk lock break?

Sometimes you simply cannot get into the compartment due to a faulty lock. Some drivers are interested not only in the volume of the Volkswagen Polo trunk in liters, but also in the reliability of the opening system. It happens that you have to contact service to replace this important part. The reasons may lie in the following:

Secrets of replacing the activator button

You can replace the button yourself. To do this, you need to reset both terminals in the battery under the hood. You cannot do without dismantling the door card on the driver's door. The button contact boards and the control unit itself need to be disconnected.

Having dismantled the old button, we installed a new one. Next, use a multimeter: the device will check the integrity of the electrical circuit in the inside of the door. Does the arrow point to infinity? There is a high probability of a short circuit - it's time to change the wiring! This means that the insulation protection is damaged somewhere. In general, drivers are satisfied with the design and recommend it to their friends and acquaintances.

The 5th generation Volkswagen Polo compact sedan (2015 restyling) is based on the PQ25 platform from the Polo hatchback. The car's suspension is built according to the classic design: front MacPherson struts and rear semi-independent beam. The body dimensions of the model are as follows: length – 4390 mm, width – 1699 mm, height – 1467 mm. The wheelbase is 2553 mm, ground clearance– 163 mm. In the segment of budget B-class cars, Polo competes with and, which have similar technical characteristics.

The model uses a 1.6-liter engine with distributed fuel injection as a power plant. From the start of sales (May 2015), the engine had two power options: 85 and 105 hp. However, already in September, the plant in Kaluga began assembling modernized versions of this unit. In November, improved engines increased to 90 and 110 hp. recoil monitors began to be installed under the hood of all cars coming off the assembly line. In addition to peak power, torque also increased slightly, reaching 155 Nm (available at 3800-4000 rpm).

New Kaluga-assembled engines not only increased power, but also significantly reduced the amount of harmful emissions, which allowed them to meet Euro-5 standards. The fuel consumption of the Polo sedan has also decreased. Now the “junior” 90-horsepower engine, combined with a 5-speed manual transmission, consumes an average of about 5.7 liters of gasoline. As for the 110-horsepower unit, it consumes not much more fuel - 5.8-5.9 liters (transmissions - 5 manual transmission and 6 automatic transmission).
