Performance and features

All Polos come with autonomous emergency braking and halogen headlights as standard, with the optional LED headlights offering even more illumination. Parking sensors are standard on the SEL trim and above, with a reversing camera available as an optional extra on all trim levels other than the entry-level S. The two entry-level petrol engines available with the Polo offer 64 and 79bhp, with the 79bhp taking 14.9 seconds to reach 63mph. There are three other engines available in the range, two of them being 1.0-litre three-cylinder TSI turbocharged petrol engines, offered with 94 and 113bhp.

Optional sports suspension brings the body 15mm closer to the ground and offers better damping control for a heightened sense of stability. Drivers can also opt for switchable dampers to personalise driving style. The Polo with the highest performance is the GTI 2.0-lite TSI 200PS 6-speed DSG 5 door, boasting 0-62mph in just 6.7 seconds. Advanced safety features like Pedestrian Detection and Front Assist with City Emergency Braking reduces your risk of an accident, while the optional Adaptive Cruise Control is sure to take the stress out of long drives.

Interior technology

Every Polo features an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system in the centre of the dashboard, with sat nav included on mid-range SEL trims and above. Standard on SE models and above is a multifunction steering wheel which allows drivers to control the stereo without taking their hands off the wheel. The soft-touch materials that line the front of the dashboard offer a luxurious feel, offering eight different colours to choose from to personalise the interior. The SEL trim is even more luxurious, with dual-zone climate control, automatic windscreen wipers and a chrome interior.
