About the Volkswagen Polo (2024)
Independent spec and rating reference. No offers, no sales.
The Polo VI has been in production since 2017 and received a facelift in 2021 with matrix-LED headlights and a revised dashboard. The entry engine is the 1.0 TSI three-cylinder with 95 hp. WLTP consumption is 5.4 l/100km (manufacturer figure, not measured by us). Braked towing weight 1,000 kg, limited but enough for a light trailer.
In practice
Boot 351 litres, ample for the class. The 95 hp version drives smoothly in city traffic and on the motorway; owners report real-world consumption that sits 0.5 to 1 l/100km above WLTP depending on driving style (public forums, not measured by us). The indicative list price rose from about 23,490 euro (reference date early 2024) to 24,990 euro now, a starting price, not an offer and not a forecast.
Points to note
The base engine lacks an automatic in the entry version; the DSG sits on the more expensive variants. The infotainment is operated via touch plus a few physical buttons, an improvement over the pre-facelift. Check the equipment per version during a test drive, because the difference between base and higher lines is large.
