The VW Polo is celebrated for its remarkable driving comfort and boasts various design awards. AutoUncle provides access to 7,560 available options in the UK, each one sourced from an online marketplace or dealership website.

There exist five main parameters that have an impact on what a used VW Polo costs: manufacturing year, engine capacity and performance, fuel economy of the car, how many miles the car has travelled not to mention the equipment level of the car.
For example, a younger car with fewer miles on the odometer typically costs more. Likewise, models at the premium end with luxurious features or potent engines tend to come with a more substantial price tag than a used model with many kilometres on the odometer and in a simple equipment variant.

Fuel options to choose from:
In order to choose the right fuel type, you need to ask yourself the following questions: On average, how many miles do you travel in a week? Do you frequently make short journeys or are your trips generally long?
If you primarily drive short distances, electric, plug-in hybrid or petrol is typically a good fit. For longer commutes, a newer electric car is a good alternative - especially with access to charging. If you have a daily commute over longer distances, a modern electric car can be a great choice - especially if you have access to charging at home or at work. Diesel cars can still make sense if you drive very far and don't have access to charging. Keep in mind that certain countries have bans on high-emission diesel engines entering their cities.
The VW Polo is available in both hatchback and coupe body styles, with the hatchback being the more popular choice. Hatchbacks are excellent compact cars that combine great driving with the flexibility of ample space. They are very popular with people living in cities, as they are typically fuel efficient and easy to park.
