What are the Volkswagen Polo R-Line specs?

The Polo R-Line offers three different powertrain configurations.

These small engines mean you benefit from excellent fuel economy, ranging from a claimed 50.4mpg up to 54.3mpg.

Get behind the wheel and you're greeted with a pleasant overall driving experience that's similar to its rivals.

No matter the gearbox, you're getting a smooth drive with plenty of confidence from all the driver assistance tech onboard.

You do get other features such as a leather steering wheel, sports seats and aluminium pedals for a more premium finish.
