Volkswagen Polo SE buying guide

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.

Should I buy a Volkswagen Polo SE?

What's the seating capacity of the Volkswagen Polo SE?

It has five seats in total, but we'd recommend sticking to four people in total for longer journeys as the middle rear seat isn't that spacious.

What does SE mean on a VW Polo?

In Volkswagen-speak, 'SE' stands for 'Special Edition' and is usually given to mid-range trim levels. SE models often feature a balance of comfort and technology.

Is the SE Edition a sports car?

No, the Polo SE Edition isn't a sports car and instead offers more tech and luxury features over the standard model.

How economical is the SE model in terms of fuel efficiency?

With its reliable 1.0-litre petrol engine, you can expect to eke out around 60mpg, putting it high up against its rivals.

What's the difference in spec between the Polo S and SE?

Compared to the S, the Polo SE adds features like A/C, alloy wheels and a touchscreen infotainment system. The S is a more simplistic model but still gets all you really need from a supermini.
