Compare fuel types for VW Polo:
Your driving behavior is an important aspect to consider when selecting a fuel type. How far do you usually drive in a standard week? Are your trips more often short ones, or do you tend to travel over long distances?
If you drive mostly short distances, range is not crucial - so electric, plug-in or petrol are obvious choices. For daily long journeys, electric cars make the most sense if you can charge easily. For longer daily commutes, a modern electric car is often suitable - especially if you can charge at home or at work. Diesel cars can still make sense if you drive very far and don't have access to charging. Note that there are countries where diesel engines with heavy emissions are forbidden from entering city areas.
The VW Polo exists in two different body types; hatchback and coupe, with the hatchback being the preferred option. Hatchbacks seamlessly combine compact design with impressive driving dynamics and practical space. Their fuel efficiency and ease of parking make them a favourite choice for city dwellers.
