R-line is a "body kit" and rims for lack of a better word and can be selected when spec'ing a vehicle with the dealer, in either Comfortline (SE) or Highline (SEL) trim, just not entry level vehicles. There is no performance boost as such.silverhairs wrote: ↑Mon Aug 12, 2019 2:03 pm When I first looked at members talking about the "R Line" I thought it was the next step between the SEL DSG 115 and a GTI, but looking at the posts, it's only got the same 115 engine, or is there a higher BHP that they fit to a "R Line", when you mention "R Line" it sounds a bit more sporty than a normal Polo SEL DSG 115, but in reality is it any faster?? Now when you talk about a Honda R, now that's faster !!!
It has the same round steering wheel boss as the GTI, but again it looks like the same spec as a SE with a 115 engine with a few more trims and different wheels fitted, and to be honest I like the steering wheel boss in my SEL better, at least it's got a bit more shape, than just a round lump.
Also I've got dual climate, but my mate down the road has that in his GTI+, is it standard in the GTI+ or is it an extra?
The 150bhp 1.5L Polo is a bit of a unicorn car but have read on this forum from others that its out there although I expect this to be mainly in the EU (left hand drive only).
We only expect the 150 bhp (110kw) engine to arrive with the R-Line T-Cross next year.
Climate control air con is usually optional with "manual" air con as standard.
