Used Volkswagen Polo SE for sale

What is the Volkswagen Polo SE?

There have been countless trim levels over the years when it comes to the Polo, but a used Polo SE represents a good-value mid-spec model that comes with more than just your basic Polo.

Because it’s designed with low running costs in mind, it’s only available with some of the Polo’s smallest engines, which means it’ll sit in low insurance groups.

As a car that’s been available for more than two decades, you’ll have no trouble finding a Volkswagen Polo SE for sale.

What are the Volkswagen Polo SE specs?

In its most recent form, the Polo SE came with 1.0-litre petrol engines. A range of regular and turbocharged versions were available, with power outputs of 65hp, 75hp, 80hp, and 95hp.

If you prefer diesel power, a single 1.6-litre engine is also available. It only has 80hp, but it can be exceptionally efficient.

Older generations came with different engines, including a 90hp 1.2-litre petrol, an 85hp 1.4-litre petrol, and a 75hp 1.4-litre diesel.

Used Volkswagen Polo SE features and equipment

In the case of sixth-generation 2017-onward models, the SE is built on the basic S model, which comes with things like air-conditioning, remote central locking and an eight-inch touchscreen infotainment system.

SE models add alloy wheels, heated door mirrors, some leather trimmings inside, and the all-important Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity.

Where the Polo SE sits in the Volkswagen range

SE is one of the most affordable versions of the Polo that you can get, sitting above the entry-level S model.

Match is on a similar level as SE, and is well worth considering if you can’t find a used Polo SE to suit your tick list. Beats models are also similarly kitted out but come with a premium sound system.

More premium options include SEL and sporty-looking R-Line variants, plus range-topping GTI performance models.
