Volkswagen is expanding the Polo range with a lifestyle-oriented model, the Polo Fun. The Polo Fun will be shown at the Frankfurt Motor Show.

The four-door Fun is differentiated in particular via its special bumpers and a chrome-coloured roof railing as well as the individual colours and a 20 mm higher suspension.

The appearance of the vehicle is further underlined by the stylish 17-inch alloy wheels with sporty low-profile 215/40 ZR 17 tyres.

Specially designed materials, sports seats and other details in the interior guarantee driving enjoyment.

The Polo Fun will be on offer with four petrol engines from 54 bhp to 101 bhp - including an FSI engine - as well two diesel engines with 75 bhp and 101 bhp.

Rover launched the Streetwise last month and stated that tough looking small cars may well be the next 'big thing'.

The Car Enthusiast will be attending the 2003 Frankfurt Show. The review of the show will be linked from the main Motor Shows page during September.
