Volkswagen Polo buying guide

What types of used Volkswagen Polo cars are there?

The Volkswagen Polo has been a mainstay on our roads since it first burst onto the scene in the mid-70s, and it’s remained a firm favourite ever since.

It’s a compact hatchback, otherwise known as a supermini – smaller than the Golf, but you can get three- and five-door versions depending on the model year.

Popular Volkswagen Polo trims

Several trim levels and been and gone throughout the Polo’s time on sale, which spans around half a century, so remember to check any individual listing before committing to a purchase.

> Volkswagen Polo Life - the Polo Life is an entry-level model with LED headlights, manual air-conditioning and touchscreen infotainment system

> Volkswagen Polo Style - the Polo Style is a mid-spec option with all-round parking sensors, matrix LED headlights and dual-zone climate control

> Volkswagen Polo R-Line - the Polo R-Line sporty-looking car with more aggressive styling and upgraded digital instrument cluster

Volkswagen Polo history

Volkswagen first introduced the Polo in 1975. The sixth-generation model was launched in 2017 as the most modern option to date, and a few updates along the way added more appeal.

> Sixth-generation Volkswagen Polo (2017) - major update over its predecessor, offering more space and a more refined package

> Volkswagen Polo facelift (2021) - mainly focused on adding more tech and driver aids

What features does the Volkswagen Polo have?

A used Volkswagen Polo sold after 2017 will always come with air-conditioning, automatic headlights and a touchscreen infotainment system.

Higher-spec sixth-generation cars sold up until the 2021 facelift added parking sensors, dual-zone climate control, alloy wheels and an upgraded sat-nav system.

Facelifted models are much better value, because even base-spec Life variants come with LED headlights, bright LED headlights and a digital instrument cluster.

Is the Volkswagen Polo reliable?

Volkswagen has a strong reputation for reliability, which is a key selling point for the Polo, which benefits from the same excellent build quality as VW’s bigger cars.

Many of the Polo’s mechanical parts, including its engines and gearboxes, are shared with the SEAT Ibiza, Skoda Fabia and Audi A1.

How much does the Volkswagen Polo cost to run?

It may be on the premium end, but a Volkswagen Polo can be very economical to run thanks to its compact dimensions and efficient engines.

The turbocharged 1.0-litre petrol engines are the pick of the bunch, balancing performance and efficiency.

Compared with its premium cousin, the Audi A1, the Volkswagen Polo can be cheaper to maintain when it comes to costs like insurance and replacement parts.

Who is the Volkswagen Polo suitable for?

Many supermini buyers are young drivers, because these small hatchbacks are spacious enough for a few friends and a long road trip, but they’re cheap to run.

The Volkswagen Polo is a stylish, premium option for the fashion-conscious, and makes for an excellent alternative to cars like the Audi A1 and Mercedes A-Class. You might also want to consider other VWs like the Golf.

What is the best Polo model to buy?

Superminis tend not to come with as much equipment as larger family hatchbacks, so it’s always worth scouting out the highest trim level you can afford.

The turbocharged petrol engines are best suited to this car, including the 95hp and 115hp 1.0-litre units, although that’s not to say you can go wrong with the other engines.

How much should you pay for a Polo?

Although you can get sixth-generation models for a touch over £10,000, higher-spec models with punchier engines might be closer to £15,000.

If you’re paying with finance, the difference between monthly payments might not be so stark.

Is Polo expensive to insure?

There are plenty of Polo configurations in insurance group one, and even the punchiest engines are only in groups 10-12, which helps keep insurance premiums to a minimum.

Is it safe to buy a Polo?

Yes, the Volkswagen Polo is a good choice. It’s a premium model so it usually loses value less than other rivals.

It’s also a safe place to be, because both the pre- and post-facelift models were awarded five-star Euro NCAP safety ratings.

Is a Polo good on fuel?

Volkswagen mostly sells Polos with 1.0-litre petrol engines, which have claimed economy figures of around 50mpg.

Previously, diesel engines were available, which offered exceptional fuel economy on motorway trips.
