Buying a used VW Polo 

The VW Polo is a solid, reliable German car that has been around since 1975. This small car is one of the most popular models of car in its class. Its efficiency, reliability and quality build make it a great choice for many motorists. You can't go far wrong when you choose to purchase a VW Polo. Standing the test of time, the VW Polo is often considered one of the best small cars on the market. In this guide, we take you through some of the points that make the Volkswagen Polo such a standout car within its class.  

 

VW Polo practicality  

The polo is available in three-door and five-door models depending on your preference and the number of people you regularly carry. The later models of VW Polo have increased interior space, with enough headroom in the back for two tall adults. However, you might find that three adults in the back on longer journeys is a push for this small car. The front cabin has plenty of space for storing items, and some models come with a wireless charging pad so you can keep your phone topped up on the go.  

 

VW Polo design and style 

The VW polo offers excellent interior quality for a small car. The cabin is well made, and the materials used to make the interior give the feeling like you’re driving something much more expensive. The exterior look of the Polo has remained consistent with a few tweaks to bring it up to modern standards. However, overall the Polo looks great on the outside and still gives off that premium feel that you associate with a Volkswagen vehicle.  

 

Engine options 

The Polo comes in a range of engine options, there currently isn’t an electric or hybrid option to choose from for the VW Polo, but there may be one on the way in the near future. These are the most popular options you will find on the used car market.

The Polo comes with emergency braking and pedestrian detection for added safety if someone suddenly walks out into the road.
