Voice Control allows you to control the radio, phone, and optional navigation systems of the Polo. By simply speaking, you can use your voice to make a phone call, find an address or change the channel on the infotainment system- all without lifting a finger.  

Does even the merest sight of a winding road instantly boost your mood? Then the XDS electronic differential lock that comes as standard in the Polo GTI is bound to make you smile.
