VW Polo MPV could be Opel Meriva slayer

Posted on 06/08/2009 under: Hatchbacks, Volkswagen

The new VW Polo looks sporty and its planned 3-door variant will play the role of a smaller Scirocco in the future. VW intends not to put a full stop to the Polo platform with that model.

AutoExpress has learned that the German company will make a move against the exisiting Opel Meriva and the future B-Max from Ford by pitting a compact MPV based on the Polo's platform.

Details are sparse, but the intention is clear. VW would position this product as the smaller counterpart of the Touran. The new vehicles would use the service of the company's common rail motors and the TSI petrol engines.
