Volkswagen Polo

Sell us your VW, hassle free

The Volkswagen Polo has been a popular model in the small car sector for decades, with almost 600,000 currently registered across the UK. The Polo was initially launched in 1975, and is currently in its sixth generation, which arrived in 2018 and received a mid-life update in 2021.

The Volkswagen Polo is a firm favourite with city commuters, small families, and anyone looking for a comfortable and refined small car with a premium feel.

In the latest generation, Volkswagen has dropped diesel engines for the Polo, moving towards a range of petrol engines, from the entry level 1.0 litre engine of the Polo Life, to the 2.0 litre turbocharged engine of the Polo GTI. Fuel consumption varies by engine, with the economy of the 1.0 litre engines delivering up to 57 mpg in tests.

The new generation of Volkswagen Polo is praised for its high-quality interior and spaciousness, and is often described as feeling larger than it actually is. The boot space is also generous, with 351 litres of capacity on offer in normal use.

Some critics might say the Polo is not as sporty or exciting to drive as rivals in the supermini category, but it offers a comfortable and relaxing driving experience and is both stable and reliable. It’s actually won a number of industry awards, including the What Car? “Best Small Car of the Year” in both 2019 and 2020.

From a safety perspective, the Polo is one of the safest cars in its class, with a Euro NCAP rating of five stars and a wide range of safety functionality installed as standard – including an autonomous emergency braking (AEB) system, pedestrian monitoring system, speed limiter and electronic stability control. Additional features are also available, such as blind spot assist and cross traffic control.

For those with a focus on technology and infotainment, the Volkswagen Polo doesn’t disappoint. Entry-level trims get an eight-inch touchscreen infotainment system which includes Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity. Higher trims offer a larger 10.25-inch ‘Digital Cockpit Pro’ display and digital instrument panels.

Overall, the Volkswagen Polo stands as a refined and comfortable small family car, offering a premium feel at a reasonable price point. With its range of efficient petrol engines, it’s a strong choice for anyone valuing comfort and practicality.
