European customers now have new choices when it comes to Volkswagen's Polo supermini and the Passat as the German brand is expanding its customization program for the two aforementioned models.
For the Polo, Volkswagen has introduced two R-Line styling packages. The first is the R-Line Exterior package that is available as an option for the Polo Comfortline (€1,450) and the Polo Highline (€1,010).
It includes 16- or optionally 17-inch alloy wheels shod in beefy 215 tires, black gloss finish for the front grille, model-specific front and rear bumpers, a rear diffuser, chrome tail pipes, a roof spoiler, side skirts, fog lamps and LED license plate illumination.
The second option for the Polo is the R-Line Plus that styles up the interior. Priced at €855 for the Polo Comfortline and €450 for the Polo Highline, it brings a pair of sport seats up front (optionally available in Alcantara and leather), black roof lining, a sport leather steering wheel, glossy black dashboard trim, and aluminum pedals and door sills.
Moving on the Passat, Volkswagen has created the Exclusive Edition based on the Highline trim level that is available as a four-door sedan at €32,450, and as a Variant (station wagon) at €33,625.
On the outside, the Passat Exclusive Edition features bespoke 18-inch alloy wheels and a 15mm lowered ride height thanks to the sport suspension.
Most of the changes take place inside where VW's R GmbH division has equipped the Passat with Nappa leather seats in a "chocolate brown" hue with colored stitching and piping in a contrasting "Pepper White", leather door panels and steering wheel, special floor mats, and a combination of wood and metal-like trim.
