2026 Volkswagen Polo CityLife special edition brings more kit, sportier look

The Volkswagen Polo is the latest vehicle to gain a special CityLife edition, bringing more standard equipment for a price tag of $32,790 before on-road costs.

That slots it neatly between the existing Life ($30,790 before on-roads) and Style ($34,790 before on-roads). Local showroom arrivals will commence from November 2025.

Over the Life, it gains 16-inch ‘Torsby’ alloy wheels that give it a sportier look than the 15-inch wheels used on the base model, as well as rear privacy glass.

It also gains the following features:

  • Blind-spot monitoring
  • Rear cross-traffic alert
  • Rear privacy glass
  • Proximity entry with push-button start
  • Dual-zone climate control
  • Park Assist semi-autonomous parking

Additionally, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto comes standard. The base Life has also been updated for 2026 to include this wireless connectivity, though its pricing – as with the wider Polo range – is unchanged.

If you want items like Matrix LED headlights and the Digital Cockpit Pro digital instrument cluster, you’ll need to step up to the Polo Style.
