    Production Of Volkswagen Polo Facelift Commences In South Africa

    Since the launch of the Volkswagen Polo sixth generation in 2018, more than 400,000 units have been produced at Kariega, according to the Sandton Chronicle. Weeks after Volkswagen revealed the refreshed Polo GTI, the production of the Volkswagen Polo facelift is now underway at the German manufacturer’s plant located at Kariega. Industry experts predict the new models of the Volkswagen Polo will enter the local market by the first quarter of 2022. 

    If you’re like many car enthusiasts, chances are, you’re curious about the car manufacturing process. Throughout the production of the Volkswagen Polo facelift and GTI hatchback, for instance, the manufacturer has adopted a three-shift pattern. Read on to understand the automobile production process.  

    Design And Engineering

    The production process of any automobile starts with purchasing the right materials to transform the vehicle from a simple idea into a reality. From there, the design process begins. At this stage, carmakers must be keen to create innovative car interior and exterior designs. Typically, small automobile models are produced in 2D or 3D formats to test the designs. When testing car designs, engineers assess the aerodynamics, fuel economy, electrical and mechanical functionalities, safety, and cost analysis to ensure the automobile meets set standards.

    Manufacturing Process

    The car manufacturing process entails many activities, such as creating body frames, attaching car parts, and detailing. Humans and robots often perform these tasks as the car moves along the production line. Note that the final stage of assembling cars entails installing the axle, engine, transmission, tires, and exhaust systems. 

    While every car part requires a considerable amount of money for installation, the exhaust system can be quite costly because it requires a catalytic converter. One of the reasons catalytic converters are expensive is because they are made of prestigious metals like rhodium, palladium, and platinum. Plus, they rely on chemical catalysts to clean the exhaust to reduce toxic emissions. 

    Quality Testing 

    Once the vehicle is ready to drive, auto manufacturers must test it for quality assurance before its release to the market. Automobile quality assurance tests entail checking for inconsistencies or imperfections with interior and exterior designs to ensure safety and high performance. Carmakers also test engine performance, fuel efficiency, and other mechanical functionalities to make sure the car fits the industry requirements.  

    The car production process takes about two to five years, from design to the launch phase. A lot of activities take place throughout the manufacturing process. This includes creating and testing automobile designs and engineering specs. Then the installation of car parts begins. After the car has been assembled, automakers test every component to ensure safety and high performance.

    • Aston Martin calls it the 'fastest luxury SUV in the world' and 'the supercar of SUVs' but is the DBX707 worth all this hype?

It is the fastest and most powerful SUV you can currently buy (order) in SA so there is that but the reality today is that the 707 will have to dice with the Urus, the Bentayga Speed, and the Cayenne Turbo GT for hearts, minds, and wallets.

Aston estimates 65% of DBX sales going forward will be this 697 hp (520 kW) and 900Nm variant and after driving it, this might be an underestimate. If the regular DBX is in your price range, then you can almost certainly afford a DBX707.

It can hit 100 km/h in 3.3s and go to a ridiculous 310 km/h so, of course, it is properly quick but it is just as impressive when the roads get twistier and it instils an enormous amount of confidence in the driver.

If you fancy snapping up this contender for the Super SUV king title, you are going to need at least R5m making it significantly more expensive than the Lambo and Porsche counterparts but you will be driving something a lot more rare which could be the reason you hand your money to Aston Martin.

What do you all think?

    • The new BMW M240i xDrive barely puts a foot wrong. The price is right, it's crushingly quick, more than practical enough to daily and if you only look at the front, it is very easy on the eye 😉 

It pulls properly hard, doesn’t feel turbocharged in its response, and delivers thrills when you want them. The extra confidence and pace afforded by the sweet pairing of the straight-six petrol engine and the rear-biased xDrive AWD system make the M240i an enticing proposition all of its own.

If you gave any BMW fan a wish list and asked them to build the perfect car given the company's current resources, it probably wouldn't be too far off this one.
