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.

What are the available fuel options for the VW Polo?

The leading fuel choice for the VW Polo is petrol.

Fuel options to choose from:

• VW Polo petrol: 7,384 cars currently available with an average price of £13,847
• VW Polo diesel: 176 cars currently available with an average price of £11,232

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.

Hatchbacks are excellent compact cars that combine great driving with the flexibility of ample space.
