The new Volkswagen Polo Beats has a built-in subwoofer and 300W of audio power
Now you can own a beatbox on wheels.
VOLKSWAGEN HAS COLLABORATED with audio specialists Beats Audio for a special version of the Polo five-door hatchback.
The Polo beats features a new, state-of-the-art sound system with a 300W eight-channel amplifier with a digital signal processor (DSP) and seven high-end loudspeakers distributed around the interior: two tweeters in the A-pillars, two woofers in the front doors, two broadband loudspeakers in the back as well as a subwoofer integrated in the spare wheel well.
(Will it sound like Dr Dre is actually rapping from the boot? Only time will tell.)
It also features new 16-inch ‘Syenit’ alloy wheels, coloured door mirrors and a gloss black radiator grille. The interior gets special Beats design seats and door trim panels, coloured seat belts and a leather steering wheel.
The Polo Beats is powered by a three-cylinder 1.0-litre 75hp petrol engine mated to a five-speed manual gearbox and costs €20,120.
As an added bonus, and for a limited time only, there is one year’s free insurance on the Volkswagen Polo if you finance it through Volkswagen Bank.
Volkswagen Ireland Brand Director Gerrit Heimberg says:
The Polo remains a very important car for us here in Ireland and it has been a favourite in this country for over 40 years now.
The new Beats version offers a new angle on the Polo and will very much appeal to a younger buyer and in particular, any audiophiles thanks to its very special audio system.
