Volkswagen has had success with the Black Style package on other VW models so has decided to try it out on the Polo Vivo. Here’s how to spot one on the road.

The Black Style package was first introduced on the pre-facelift VW Tiguan and the Touareg back in 2019 with the brand claiming they were a success. The Black Package is a not so subtle exterior trim kit that is instantly recognisable on the roads with its black trim options and blacked out optional wheels.

The Black Style package is now available on the Polo Vivo Comfortline and the Highline model. It includes black 16-inch Portago alloy wheels, gloss black mirror caps, a gloss black painted roof, gloss black B and C pillar covers, black side sill covers, body-coloured boot spoiler, privacy glass, chrome exhaust tip as well as anthracite headliner and sun visors.

The cost of the Black Style package on the Comfortline model is R9 000 while adding it to your Highline will cost just R8 250.

Of course, you can still get the package on the Tiguan and Touareg models and there is even a Black Style package for the brand new Golf 8 GTI. Although, the first sign of a model not meeting sales expectations is the immediate release of special editions or optional packages. Surely that’s not the case for SA’s adored GTI is it?

Watch what happened when we drag raced it against the GR Yaris

The GTI kit includes piano black side mirrors, a piano black chrome strip on the front grille as well as black 18-inch Bergamo alloy wheels. The upgrade is available for R8 000.
