About the Volkswagen Polo
▶
The Volkswagen Polo is a supermini that has established itself as a practical, well-built alternative to rivals like the Ford Fiesta and Vauxhall Corsa. It appeals to first-time buyers and those seeking reliable urban transport with a premium feel relative to its class. The current generation (sixth gen, launched 2017) brought a larger footprint and more interior space than predecessors, shifting it slightly upmarket.
