    The limited-run Launch Edition sits atop the Polo family tree (at least until the GTI version gets here). Based on the 85TSI Comfortline, it adds some handy styling features to Volkswagen’s smallest offering.

    The Launch Edition ($20,490 manual, $22,990 automatic) builds on the equipment of the Comfortline cars (auto headlights, rain-sensing wipers, chrome highlights and a better quality cloth seat in the cabin) swapping the 15-inch alloys for 16-inch rims, and adding tinted windows, fog lights and LED taillights, as well as a wireless charging station for your compatible phone. And those prices translate to $21,490 and $23,990 drive-away.

    The Launch Edition’s tiny 1.0-litre engine produces 85kW at 5000rpm and 200Nm at 2000rpm, sprinting to 100km/h in 9.5 seconds.

    Safety-wise, expect six airbags, a reversing camera, parking sensors and AEB with pedestrian detection. You get a fatigue-warning system and a tyre-pressure monitor, too, along with the usual suite or braking and traction features.

    There’s also a Driver Assistance Package available ($1400), which adds VW’s manoeuvre braking system to the Polo, which combines with the rear parking sensors to act as AEB in reverse when you’re parking, along with adaptive cruise, blind-spot monitoring and rear-traffic alert.
