Facts about Volkswagen Polo
- The Volkswagen Polo was first introduced in the UK in 1975.
- It is considered a supermini car.
- The name ‘Polo’ is believed to derive from polar winds, but it’s popularly (perhaps wrongly) believed that it derives from the sport of polo much like how VW Golf is sometimes believed to be named after the sport of golf.
- The first-generation Polo (1975) was originally a rebadged Audi 50, but eventually the Polo outsold the original Audi 50 (which would eventually become the Audi A1)
- The Polo is one of Volkswagen’s best-selling automobiles with over 20 million sold globally.
- There have been six generations and multiple facelifts over the half century of the Polo.
- The European market is by far the biggest for VW Polo sales.
- The Polo has won dozens of prestigious awards, including World Car of the Year and European Car of the Year in 2010.
- Some of the biggest competitors to the VW Polo include the Renault Clio, Peugeot 208, and Vauxhall Corsa.
- European sixth-generation Volkswagen Polos were assembled at the Volkswagen Navarra S.A. plant in Pamplona, Spain until 2024; since 2024 they have been assembled at the Volkswagen South Africa Plant in Uitenhage, South Africa.

Frequently asked questions about Volkswagen Polo
Is the Volkswagen Polo a good car?
The Volkswagen Polo is an excellent car that offers superb value for money, a great driving experience, and plenty of reliability. For many years, it’s been just barely trailing behind the ever-popular (especially here in the UK) Ford Fiesta, a car that’s admittedly a little more exciting to drive around. Now that the Fiesta is being discontinued, the Polo stands out as one of the best and most practical everyday superminis.
Which model of Volkswagen Polo is the best?
There are many great VW Polo trims available when purchasing new and many more choices when purchasing used. In brief, many reviewers have praised the Match trim for its excellent balance between value and fuel economy. The Life trim is great for budget-conscious owners who perhaps don’t need all the modern bells and whistles, whereas the R-Line and new Black trims are excellent value for money and provide superior performance and modern features.
Is a Volkswagen Polo fuel efficient?
Yes, the VW Polo is reasonably fuel-efficient depending on model year and trim. 2020 and 2021 VW Polo fuel economy are estimated at around 34.5 mpg and 42.6 mpg, respectively. The latest-generation Polo’s fuel economy ratings by Top Gear are between 52.8-54.1 mpg, which is quite impressive. There are no all-electric Polos as of 2025, so these ratings are only for petrol and diesel Polos.
Is Volkswagen Polo expensive to repair?
No. Generally, the VW Polo is one of the cheapest cars in the UK to service and maintain. Repair costs tend to be much lower than average because of the car’s popularity and widespread availability of parts. Moreover, it happens to be one of the cheapest cars to insure in the UK. All of this combined makes the VW Polo one of the cheapest cars to own.
How long will a Volkswagen Polo car last?
A VW Polo should last around 175,000 miles before owners encounter more serious problems. Its life expectancy can vary quite a bit depending on model year, but generally newer Polos tend to last quite a long time - perhaps not as long as a good Toyota, but quite a bit longer than many popular SUVs and other cars of its segment.
