If you're in the market for one of the UK's best-selling small hatchback cars with unparalleled refinement, then a used VW Polo is a great choice. It features a well-appointed cabin and is full of advanced technology safety features. It's also relatively inexpensive, and affordable to run.
Diesel engines have been discontinued for the newest lineup, leaving only petrol configurations. These are available with either a 5-speed manual or 7-speed automatic gearbox.
The diminutive Polo is a practical car for urban travel. It fits in the smallest spaces but doesn't skimp on interior room.
The very first Polo hit the roads in 1975, right after the Mark 1 Golf achieved success. The original car had a 2,335 mm wheelbase, making it smaller than the current Volkswagen UP!. Now in its sixth generation, the Polo is one of the brand's longest-running models. Throughout the years, special edition and high-level trims such as the Polo GTI and the Dune have earned a lot of attention.
The latest generation rides on the MQB A0 platform, offering more boot space and interior room. It also has more safety features, such as traffic sign recognition and frontal collision detection.
A facelift in 2021 added more digitalisation and advanced innovations with a fresh design. IQ.LIGHT matrix LED headlights were added to the front, while IQ.DRIVE Travel Assist became available on higher trims.
