Vw technical specifications. Technical characteristics of Volkswagen Polo sedan

The 5th generation Volkswagen Polo compact sedan (2015 restyling) is based on the PQ25 platform from the Polo hatchback. The car's suspension is built according to the classic design: front MacPherson struts and rear semi-independent beam. The body dimensions of the model are as follows: length – 4390 mm, width – 1699 mm, height – 1467 mm. The wheelbase is 2553 mm, ground clearance is 163 mm. In the segment of budget B-class cars, Polo competes with and, which have similar technical characteristics.

The model uses a 1.6-liter engine with distributed fuel injection as a power plant. From the start of sales (May 2015), the engine had two power options: 85 and 105 hp. However, already in September, the plant in Kaluga began assembling modernized versions of this unit. In November, improved engines increased to 90 and 110 hp. recoil monitors began to be installed under the hood of all cars coming off the assembly line. In addition to peak power, torque also increased slightly, reaching 155 Nm (available at 3800-4000 rpm).

New Kaluga-assembled engines not only increased power, but also significantly reduced the amount of harmful emissions, which allowed them to meet Euro-5 standards. The fuel consumption of the Polo sedan has also decreased. Now the “junior” 90-horsepower engine, combined with a 5-speed manual transmission, consumes an average of about 5.7 liters of gasoline. As for the 110-horsepower unit, it consumes not much more fuel - 5.8-5.9 liters (transmissions - 5 manual transmission and 6 automatic transmission).

"Volkswagen AG" (Volkswagen AG), a German automobile concern. Manufactures cars, trucks, minibuses. The headquarters is located in Wolfsburg.

In 1934, Ferdinand Porsche, a famous German designer (founder of the world famous German automobile company Porsche AG), received an order from the National Socialist government of Germany to develop a modern passenger car.

And already in 1935 such a car was installed. It was named "Volkswagen", which literally means "people's car" in German. After two years of testing, the VW30 series was launched in 1937, and by 1938 the car acquired an appearance familiar to many generations. Volkswagen was immediately appreciated by designers, engineers and drivers. They started talking about it, numerous publications appeared, and in 1938, in an article in the New York Times, Volkswagen was dubbed a “beetle” for its external resemblance. This nickname stuck so well that it became the calling card of the car.

To produce the “people's car,” construction of the largest European Volkswagen automobile plant began on May 26, 1938 in the city of Wolfsburg. But the impending war prevented the production of this car. Only a dozen were produced. The fascist bosses really liked the car. Hitler himself rode it with pleasure.

During World War II, work on the construction of Volkswagen was suspended, and the unfinished plant was repurposed for the production of military products.

After the end of the war, the enterprise came under the control of the British, in whose zone of occupation Wolfsburg was located. In the fall of 1945, the British authorities handed over an order to the plant for 20 thousand cars. But only almost ten years later mass production of the car began in its original modification. In 1947, Volkswagen was exhibited at the export fair in Hannover and attracted a lot of attention. The plant received the first foreign order from Holland for a thousand cars, and in 1948 orders began to arrive from Switzerland, Belgium, Sweden and other countries.

In January 1948, the leadership of Volkswagen changed; Heinrich Nordhoff, a representative of the new generation of German technocrats, became its general director. The updated management consisted of certified engineers who had international experience in automobile factories and were able to think outside the box. With their arrival, the car was improved and modernized. In 1949, models with a new body type began to be produced - a convertible and a limousine. In mass production, the interior equipment became more comfortable, and a partially synchronized engine was installed.

A network of car service centers and technical stations for car servicing was established. We constantly worked with Western clients. Volkswagen has created a powerful car sales network.

The export of the car, which gained worldwide fame, by the end of 1948 amounted to about 50 thousand cars, about 15 thousand were sold on the domestic market.

By this time, the plant was freed from the allied control of the British, and on September 6, 1949 Volkswagen was completely transferred to the Federal Republic of Germany.

A new stage in the development of the plant began, which was primarily marked by an intensive increase in production and an increase in sales.

By 1950, 100 thousand cars were produced, by 1951 - 500 thousand cars, and on August 5, 1955, a solemn ceremony was held to mark the release of the millionth Volkswagen 2. The motto of this time in the life of Germans became a popular phrase associated with Volkswagen - “He is a member of my family.” .

The reliability and affordable price of the car, proven over the years, strengthened the export capabilities of the car. Volkswagen is already sold in 150 countries around the world. Subsidiaries appeared abroad - in 1953 in Brazil, in 1956 in South Africa, in 1957 in Australia, in 1964 in Mexico (the Beetle has been produced here since 1998, which became a real hit of the season among Hollywood stars) and other countries.

The first modification of the standard Volkswagen 1200 in 1955 was the Karmann-Ghia sports coupe, the brand of which was made up of the names of the companies that created it: the body was designed by the Italian company Ghia, and it was assembled by the German coachbuilder Karmann in Osnabrück. In 1961, the program was replenished with a new Volkswagen-1500 with a sedan body and an engine of increased displacement, on the basis of which the next versions of the Karmann-Ghia coupe and convertible were produced.

In 1965, Volkswagen bought Audi from Daimler-Benz, creating the Volkswagen-Audi concern, known by the abbreviation VAG. Later it included the Spanish company SEAT and the Czech plant Skoda. Currently, Audi AG is a subsidiary of the Volkswagen concern, which has been granted complete independence.

The first result of the merger in 1968 was the VW-411 with an air-cooled engine with a displacement of 1679 cc. The model was accepted very restrainedly by customers. In 1969, after the merger of the NSU company, the first Volkswagen with front drive wheels appeared, receiving the index “K-70”. It could be purchased with engines with a displacement of 1594 or 1795 cc. In 1969-1975, in collaboration with Porsche, Volkswagen-Porsche-914" sports cars with 4- and 6-cylinder engines of 1679 and 1991 cc were produced. In 1970, the VW-181 appeared with a utilitarian open body, reminiscent of army vehicles wartime, it was developed in 1979 by the lltis, a lightweight four-wheel drive army vehicle.

The front-wheel drive Passat, released in 1973, is considered the ancestor of the new generation of Volkswagen. It was offered in numerous variants with engines ranging from 1297 to 1588 cc. The following year, the sporty Scirocco appeared with a 3-door coupe body and engines ranging from 1093 to 1588 cc, as well as a compact 3- and 5-door Golf hatchback. In the first 30 months of production, 1 million Golfs rolled off the assembly line, turning Volkswagen into one of the largest car manufacturers in Europe. In 1979, the Golf convertible appeared, which was always in high demand.

The Golf I model, which appeared in 1974, turned out to be the most successful: modern, economical, reliable, just such a model could stir up the international market. The Golf marked a new stage of competition in the production of a class of compact cars that became almost officially called the "Golf class". If during the development of new models in 1973-1974, the concern's losses exceeded 800 million German marks, then already in 1975, due to the high demand for them, it was possible to cover all costs. Just 3 years after the launch of the Golf I, the millionth car of this brand was produced. In 1983, the Golf II was released, and eight years later, in 1991, the Golf III debuted, which, like previous models, maintained the high reputation of the Golf. In the twenty-three years since production began, 17 million Golfs across three generations have been produced. In 1995-1996, Golf III was the leader in sales in Europe. In 1997, the new Golf IV debuted, and in the first days alone more than 60 thousand orders were accepted.

At the beginning of 1975, the “younger brother” of the Golf was introduced - a three-door front-wheel drive Polo, similar in design to the Audi-50 and offered with engines with a displacement of 895-1272 cc. The inexpensive and practical Polo also became very popular and strengthened Volkswagen's financial position. Based on the Polo, a three-volume version with a Derby sedan body was offered.

Since 1980, the Jetta model with a 4-door sedan body was produced on the Golf basis. In 1992, it was replaced by a similar car (already on the third generation Golf chassis), called Vento.

In 1981, the Passat and Scirocco were modernized, and a year later, the Santana sedan appeared on the Passat base, which for the first time included a 5-cylinder petrol S engine with a displacement of 1994 cc.

In the period 1988-1995, the only 3-door coupe Corrado in the program, the successor to the Scirocco, was assembled.

Variant models with a station wagon and convertible body on the chassis of third-generation cars have continued to be produced since 1993. Two Variant Syncro models with 2.0- and 2.9-liter engines have all-wheel drive chassis.

The compact third generation Polo model has been in production since 1994. The bodies are 3- and 5-door hatchback, Polo Classic sedan and 5-door Variant station wagon. Engines are gasoline and diesel 4-cylinder with a displacement of 1.0-1.9 liters and a power of 50-101 hp.

The comfortable first generation Vento family is equipped with 4- and 6-cylinder engines of 1.6-2.8 liters with a power of 75-174 hp.

The Sharan high-capacity station wagon has been produced since 1995 in 5-7-seater versions, on a front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive chassis. The power of gasoline and diesel engines with a displacement of 1.9-2.8 liters ranges from 90-174 hp.

The fifth generation Passat family of models was introduced in 1996. Unlike previous cars produced since 1988, they are again unified with the same type Audi models “A4” and “A6”. This made it possible to use more powerful and modern Audi power units with a longitudinal arrangement. Passat models are produced only in sedan and 5-door Variant station wagon bodies and are equipped with 4-, 5- and 6-cylinder gasoline and diesel engines of 1.6-2.8 liters with a power of 90-193 hp. Several Variant models in Syncro trim have all-wheel drive chassis.

In 1999, the BORA comfortable sedan model was released.

Several Volkswagen plants in Brazil, Mexico, Argentina and China produce a number of models that differ significantly from European products. Among them are the Gol, Parati and Santana models, created on the chassis of the Golf and Passat models of previous generations.

The Mexican branch continues to produce the 1.6i Beetle model with a 1.6-liter 44 hp engine, and since the beginning of 1998, it has mastered the production of a fundamentally new front-wheel drive Beetle car on the chassis of Golf models, similar in appearance to the famous "Beetle".

Currently, the Volkswagen concern is one of the largest in terms of sales in the world, has its factories in 15 countries, produces products under five trademarks: Volkswagen, Audi, Skoda, SEAT. Since 1998, the concern has owned the Rolls-Royce brand. In addition to passenger cars, the plant also produces trucks and minibuses. The Volkswagen concern includes: Volkswagen AG, Audi AG, SEAT S.A., Skoda Automobilova, Volkswagen-Saxony GmbH.

Drawing of Adolf Hitler: this is how he saw the “people's car” The first civilian Beetles did not have a rearview window But there were also “bugs” for military purposes - the reconnaissance “Kübelwagen 82” At the end of the war, Ferdinand Porsche spent two years in prison for fulfilling the Fuhrer's personal order - the creation of a "people's car", working as a simple designer at Renault factories (France)

History of the Volkswagen brand

On a summer day in 1934, a business meeting took place in one of the halls of the Kaiserchow Hotel in Berlin, marking the beginning of the history of the beloved car. There were two interlocutors, and one of them was Adolf Hitler, who had just come to power in Germany - he was clear and laconic. He put forward a demand: to create a strong and reliable car for the German people, which would be assembled at a new plant, personifying the new Germany, and its selling price would not exceed 1000 Reichsmarks.

He drew a simple drawing on a piece of paper, outlined the main points of the program and asked to select a designer who would be responsible for the execution of the government order.

The second interlocutor was Jacob Berlin, commercial director of Daimler-Benz - he listened carefully to Adolf Hitler and a few days later proposed a candidate for the executor. In his opinion, only one person could fulfill this order - Ferdinand Porsche.

Then, in accordance with the prevailing ideology and terminology, the word “folk” did not mean economical, simple, accessible to everyone for the Nazis. The concept of "volks" carried a completely different semantic load. It meant “the German people, the pure German race” and thus once again emphasized all the arrogance and arrogance of the rulers of the Third Reich.

As a result of two-year efforts, the VW Kafer was born - the predecessor of the world famous Beetle. The Americans contemptuously called it “The Beetle.” To produce this car, a factory was built in the city of Wolfsburg, and in 1938 the company "Volkswagenwerk GmbH" was created.

After the end of the Second World War, the Volkswagen plant fell into the British occupation zone. At first, the British did not realize what kind of car they had in their hands. Let us give an assessment of the design of Ferdinand Porsche, made by the head of the English commission, Lord Roots, in 1946: “...This car does not meet the basic technical parameters required for passenger cars. As for its appearance and performance characteristics, they are completely unacceptable for the average English consumer. Putting such a car into mass production seems economically inexpedient..."

After the restoration of the destroyed part of the factory in 1948, the production of Zhukov increased greatly. The demand for the beloved model has also increased.

Then the British turned to the Americans, hoping to interest them in Volkswagen. A group of specialists headed by Henry Ford II and Chairman of the Board of the Ford Motor Company Ernest Breech arrived in Germany. But the deal did not take place. After the inspection, Breach told Henry Ford: “What they are offering us is not worth a penny!” Henry Ford II, the grandson of the man who for Ferdinand Porsche personified the deity, easily agreed with this conclusion. So Ford Motor missed the opportunity to purchase Volkswagen. Everyone turned away from Volkswagen precisely when a decisive turn was taking place in its fate. There was already a queue lined up for Volkswagen cars, so the prospect did not look at all unpromising.

Currency reform, assistance to the Marshall Plan and other measures to consolidate the Western allies of the anti-Hitler coalition in the territories they occupied quickly followed. In October 1948, the Federal Republic of Germany was formed. Soon the whole world was going to talk about the “West German economic miracle.” The Volkswagen company was again in the forefront, it built 65% of all cars produced in the country. Subsequently, as Opel, Ford, Mercedes and other companies expanded production, Volkswagen's share began to decline. Despite this, Volkswagen not only retained most of its clientele, but also became the largest German industrial concern, with annual revenues amounting to $1.4 billion by the end of the 50s.

In the seventies, there was an urgent need to create a successor to the Beetle. When developing a new series of models, VW abruptly changed course. In 1973, the Passat model appeared with front-wheel drive, and a year later the Golf model appeared. It turned out to be a hit, as the Golf in many ways set a number of automotive trends. Every year, about 2 million VW branded cars roll off production lines. In recent years, the company has expanded significantly and acquired Seat, Skoda and Rolls-Royce.

The expansion of international relations, which began with the delivery of the first “beetles” to Holland, continued continuously not only through direct exports, but also through the construction of factories. Very quickly the names of the countries were adjacent to each other in the production chain. In 1950 Deliveries of disassembled cars for assembly in Brazil and Ireland began. This marked the beginning of car assembly outside the country, which over time developed into independent production.

July 23, 1953 Volkswagen de Brasil S.A. was founded in San Bernard de Campo, which quickly became Volkswagen's largest foreign subsidiary. At first, in San Bernard, cars were assembled from kits of parts manufactured in Germany, but soon Volkswagen laid the foundation stone for the largest plant in South America for the production of a wide range of components. In subsequent years, this complex was joined by "screwdriver" factories in the Philippines and Australia, which were subsequently closed with the end of the "beetle era". Another plant appeared in South Africa. In 1960 Volkswagen France was founded in 1962. The millionth Volkswagen car has been sold in the United States.

This international success inspired industrialists to build new factories on the American continent: Volkswagen de Mexico was supposed to produce cars using the largest number of locally produced components, while maintaining German quality standards and reasonable prices. Three years after the founding of this society, a plant was opened in Pueblo. The next assembly plant opened in 1971. in Brussels, two years later an agreement was concluded to open a Volkswagen representative office in Nigeria.

In the early 1980s, Volkswagen continued to expand internationally. In 1982 The concern managed to take the first step towards opening the market of the Republic of China: an agreement of intent was signed on the assembly of Volkswagen Santana cars. The contract was continued with the opening in early 1991. joint venture in China - the first automobile plant in Chang-chun. A year later, another joint venture was opened in Taiwan, the assembly line of which today produces Transporter minibuses.

In South America, Volkswagen also continued its international expansion strategy. In 1986 The company "Autolatina Ltd." was founded in Argentina. - the result of international cooperation between the Volkswagen AG concern and the Ford Motor Company. The joint work was continued 5 years later - with the founding of "Avtoevropa" in the Portuguese city of Palmela, where minivans from both manufacturers have been produced since then.

In addition to Volkswagen itself, the Volkswagen AG concern owns brands such as Audi, Seat, Skoda and, as a separate manufacturer, VW Industrial and Commercial Vehicles (Volkswagen Nutzfahrzeuge).

Volkswagen Tarek is a front- or all-wheel drive SUV in the compact segment, which the German company itself calls “the most popular crossover”, combining a discreet design, an ergonomic and functional interior, modern technology and a relatively affordable price... It is addressed primarily to urban residents (often family) who especially value practicality, safety, reliability, comfort and good cross-country ability in a car...

In general, the formal official debut of this SUV took place in March 2018 at the international auto show in Beijing, but then only in a conceptual guise called Powerful Family SUV, and two months later its production version, the Volkswagen Tharu, appeared before the world community. Actually, this same crossover, one step below the Tiguan, should reach the Russian market, but in a slightly shortened form and under the name Tarek.

Externally, the Tarek evokes associations with the full-size Teramont - the five-door looks attractive, balanced, laconic and moderately solid. From the front, the car displays truly monumental shapes - the stern look of “two-story” lighting equipment, a large radiator grille with a honeycomb pattern and a prominent bumper.

In profile, the crossover demonstrates a proportional and quite dynamic appearance, emphasized by a sloping roofline with sloping rear pillars, expressive “splashes” on the sidewalls and rounded square wheel arches.

From the rear, the “German” boasts massive LED lights, an impressive tailgate and a neat bumper with a pair of fake exhaust pipes.

It is expected that the Volkswagen Tarek will be close to the Skoda Karoq in terms of external dimensions (despite the fact that the “Chinese” Tharu is slightly larger): its length will be ≈4380 mm, width ≈1840 mm, height ≈1600 mm, distance between wheel pairs ≈2640 mm (more precise data will be known later).

The interior of the Tarek is made in the “family” style of the German automaker - it catches the eye with a nice and modern, but laconic and discreet design. Directly in front of the driver there is a three-spoke multi-steering wheel with a slightly beveled rim at the bottom and an exemplary instrument cluster with analog scales and an on-board computer display between them (as an option, it can be replaced by a virtual “dashboard” with a 10.2-inch screen).

The center console is decorated with a color display of the infotainment center, under which there are symmetrical ventilation deflectors and an extremely clear “remote control” for the air conditioning system.

The interior of the Volkswagen Tarek has a five-seat layout, with sufficient space promised in both rows of seats. In the front of the car there are ergonomic seats with a well-defined profile and a wide range of adjustments, and in the rear there is a three-seater sofa with a non-movable cushion.

It is assumed that the trunk of the Tarek will be approximately identical to that of the Tharu - its volume in normal condition will be about 455 liters. The “gallery” folded into two unequal sections will allow you to increase the capacity of the “hold” to more than 1500 liters.

It is not yet known for certain what engines the Volkswagen Tarek will be equipped with on the Russian market, but most likely it will be equipped with exclusively four-cylinder petrol engines with an in-line layout, namely:

The first option is a 1.6-liter naturally aspirated MPI with distributed injection, 16-valve DOHC timing and variable valve timing, developing 110 horsepower at 5800 rpm and 155 Nm of torque at 3800-4000 rpm.
One step higher is the TSI turbo-four with a displacement of 1.4 liters with direct “power”, 16 valves and phase shifters on the intake and exhaust, the output of which is 149 hp. at 5000-6000 rpm and 250 Nm of peak thrust at 1500-3500 rpm.
The privilege of the “top modification” is a 2.0-liter TSI engine with turbocharging, direct injection, 16-valve timing and variable valve timing system, producing 186 hp. at 4200-6000 rpm and 320 Nm of rotational potential at 1500-4100 rpm.

It is expected that the units will receive the following gearboxes: the “youngest” one will get a 5-speed “mechanical” or a 6-speed “automatic”, the “intermediate” one will get a 7-speed “robot” DSG with two dry clutches, and the “oldest” one will get 7 -high-speed “robot” DSG with wet clutches.

The first two engines will be combined with a front-wheel drive transmission, and the most powerful option will be combined with an all-wheel drive system in which the rear axle is connected to a Haldex multi-plate clutch.

At the heart of the Volkswagen Tarek is a modular MQB “trolley” with a transversely oriented power unit and a monocoque body, characterized by a wide range of high-strength steel grades in the structure. An independent McPherson-type suspension is used on the front axle of the car, but the structure of the rear part will most likely depend on the modification: front-wheel drive has a semi-independent beam, and all-wheel drive has an independent multi-link.

The crossover's rack-and-pinion steering mechanism is complemented by an active electric power steering, and disc brakes (ventilated at the front) are used on all its wheels, working in conjunction with various electronic assistants.

The Volkswagen Tarek should appear on the Russian market in 2020, and its production will be established at the facilities of the Gorky Automobile Plant. It will become the most affordable crossover of the brand, that is, it will cost less than the Tiguan, for which they are now asking from 1.4 million rubles.

Options and prices will be announced closer to the start of sales, but it is expected that already in the “base” the car will receive: front airbags, air conditioning, ABS, four electric windows, a standard audio system, electric drive and heated exterior mirrors, steel wheel rims and some other equipment.

Volkswagen AG (Volkswagen AG), a German automobile concern. Manufactures cars, trucks, minibuses. The headquarters is located in Wolfsburg.

During World War II, work on the construction of Volkswagen was suspended, and the unfinished plant was repurposed for the production of military products.

A network of car service centers and technical stations for car servicing was established. We constantly worked with Western clients. Volkswagen has created a powerful car sales network.

The export of the car, which gained worldwide fame, by the end of 1948 amounted to about 50 thousand cars, about 15 thousand were sold on the domestic market.

By this time, the plant was freed from the allied control of the British, and on September 6, 1949 Volkswagen was completely transferred to the Federal Republic of Germany.

A new stage in the development of the plant began, which was primarily marked by an intensive increase in production and an increase in sales.

The first modification of the standard Volkswagen-1200 in 1955 was the Karmann-Ghia sports coupe, the brand of which was made up of the names of the companies that created it: the body was designed by the Italian company “Ghia”, and it was assembled at the German coachbuilder “Karmann” in Osnabrück. In 1961, the program was replenished with a new Volkswagen-1500 with a sedan body and an engine of increased displacement, on the basis of which the next versions of the Karmann-Ghia coupe and convertible were produced.

The first result of the merger in 1968 was the VW-411 with an air-cooled engine with a displacement of 1679 cc. The model was accepted very restrainedly by customers. In 1969, after the merger of the NSU company, the first Volkswagen with front drive wheels appeared, receiving the index “K-70”. It could be purchased with engines with a displacement of 1594 or 1795 cc. In 1969-1975, in collaboration with Porsche, Volkswagen-Porsche-914″ sports cars with 4- and 6-cylinder engines of 1679 and 1991 cc were produced. In 1970, the VW-181 appeared with a utilitarian open body, reminiscent of wartime army vehicles. Its development in 1979 was the light all-wheel drive army vehicle lltis.

Since 1980, the Jetta model with a 4-door sedan body was produced on the Golf basis. In 1992, it was replaced by a similar car (already on the third generation Golf chassis), called Vento.

In the period 1988-1995, the only 3-door coupe Corrado in the program, the successor to the Scirocco, was assembled.

The comfortable first generation Vento family is equipped with 4- and 6-cylinder engines of 1.6-2.8 liters with a power of 75-174 hp.

In 1999, the BORA comfortable sedan model was released.
