Your guide to Volkswagen Polo colours, including all the flashy paint options and Volkswagen Polo interior colours

Launched in 1975, the VW Polo has now been on sale for more than half a century (hence the launch of the very special Edition 50 model), which has its own unique interior design.
It’s a staple on Britain’s roads, and is a heavy hitter among learner drivers, driving instructors, growing families, retirees and virtually everybody in between.
Whether you’re after value in Life and Match trims, sportiness in R-Line and Black Edition trims, or a true hot hatch in the form of the GTI, here are all the VW exterior colours and interior options.

Popular Volkswagen Polo colour choices
Black, white and grey are all common picks for the Polo, but many buyers also choose to upgrade to blue. Previous versions were also pretty popular in orange – although you can’t buy this new, you can certainly pick up a used VW Polo in orange.
Maintaining your Polo’s paintwork
Sitting on the premium end of the supermini market, Polo drivers will want to keep their cars looking pristine.
Car paint needs regular washing to keep it at its best – once every fortnight or so will do.
If you mean business, you can protect it with a coating like wax or a ceramic shield to prevent contaminants from entering the finer layers of the paint. It also makes it easier to wash.
Buying a used VW Polo from cinch lets you add our cinchShield package to protect your paint from dirt, stains and other harsh contaminants picked up from the road.
In terms of further maintenance, we also recommend filling any stone chips to reduce the chances of rust – you can touch up smaller areas by matching your car’s paint code to buy a small pot of paint instead of repainting the entire car.
Do certain Polo colours impact resale value?
In short, no. VW’s colours are inoffensive, so you’re unlikely to pick a colour that will drastically reduce your chances of resale later on.
Which colour used Polo should I buy?
Our best advice is to pick the colour you want – a car is one of life’s biggest purchases, and it's important you’re happy with your decision for years to come.
Given that you won’t be penalised for any colour when it comes time to trade in, the choice is yours, but metallic and two-tone options can be more attractive in some cases.
