The Polo
^{Available with 0% HP Finance_1⁠2}

With its compact dimensions and fresh design highlights, the Polo exudes personality even at first glance. Its most striking feature is the redesigned front with optional LED light strip combined with IQ-LIGHT Matrix LED headlights between the headlamps. On closer inspection, it’s not only the choice of colour that stands out so prominently, but a whole range of features through which each of the four Polo, Polo Life, Polo Style, or Polo R-Line equipment lines come into their own. Examples include decorative chrome highlights and other optional features such as a colour-contrasting roof or fog lights. Which one is your favourite? 

Choosing the right tyre-rim combination¹ to help your Polo look its best is purely a matter of taste. But we’re sure you’ll make the right choice.

1. Our vehicles are fitted with summer tyres as standard. 

Interiors and exteriors to take your breath away. The Polo already excites with a wide variety of equipment highlights as standard in every vehicle; examples include the driver-friendly Digital Cockpit, refreshingly cool air conditioning system, and Composition radio with DAB+ digital reception and mobile phone interface. But why stop there? Maybe you’re looking for features such as Digital Cockpit Pro with customised settings, a Climatronic air conditioning system with intuitive touch button controls, or ambient lighting? Then no problem, because these are available as standard or as options depending on the equipment line. Simply browse our Polo, Polo Life, Polo Style and Polo R-Line equipment lines.

With its huge glazed area which stretches beyond the full width of the roof, the optional electric panoramic tilting/sliding roof is a striking feature in itself. Not just bathing the interior with light, it offers a clear view of the sky above, and when opened lets the sunshine and fresh air in. You choose how much of this you want: the roof can be adjusted or fully opened, and when the sun is shining strong, the tinted glass and high-quality roller blind ensure that the interior remains at a comfortable temperature.

Have you heard? The Composition¹ radio with 15.5 cm (6.5”) display provides for great non-stop entertainment in the Polo. This is no surprise, as it now also features DAB+ digital radio reception, two USB-C ports, and a mobile phone interface. Ready 2 Discover radio is already available as an option and as a standard feature in the Style equipment line and higher. This not only boasts a 20.3 cm (8”) TFT colour display, but can also be upgraded² and a navigation function can be added later via the In-Car Shop. For those who want guidance from the start, the 20.3 cm (8”) screen provides options for the Discover Media navigation system including Streaming & Internet³ or the Discover Pro system with 23,5 cm (9,25”) screen including Streaming & Internet³.  

¹ Comes as standard in Polo and Life
² To purchase We Upgrade items, you will need a Volkswagen ID user account, a valid We Connect contract, and main user authentication, meaning that your user account must be linked to the specific vehicle. You must also ensure that the vehicle meets the necessary technical specifications for the relevant item. The We Upgrade items available for the respective vehicle can be viewed by the main user in the Infotainment system’s In-Car Shop or in the We Connect web shop at shop.volkswagen-we.com.

Purchased and activated We Upgrade functions remain in the vehicle and can be used by any driver, but are non-transferable to other vehicles.
³ To use We Connect services, you will need a Volkswagen ID user account, and must log into We Connect with your username and password.

Use of We Connect mobile online services is enabled via an integrated internet connection. With the exception of “Streaming & Internet” services and individual in-car apps, the related data charges incurred within Europe are borne by Volkswagen AG where network coverage is available. For the use of “Streaming & Internet” services, individual In-Car apps and the WLAN hotspot, data packages can be purchased through external connectivity partner Cubic Telecom, and used in many European countries where network coverage is available. Information on terms and conditions, charges, and supported countries can be found at vw.cubictelecom.com. Alternatively, web radio and media streaming services can be used via a mobile device (e.g. smartphone) which can be turned into a mobile WLAN hotspot. In this case, the relevant services are only available in conjunction with an existing mobile phone contract between you and your mobile phone company or with a contract concluded separately for this purpose, and only where coverage is available. Depending on your mobile phone tariff, transferring data via the internet may incur additional charges (e.g. roaming charges), particularly if you are using it abroad. 

To use the free We Connect App, you will need to have an existing or separately mobile phone contract concluded between you and your mobile phone provider for a smartphone with a compatible iOS or Android operating system, and a SIM card with a data option.

Further details can be found at connect.volkswagen-we.com and from your Volkswagen dealership. Information on mobile phone tariffs is available from your mobile phone provider.

Intuitive voice control gives you a means of controlling the radio, phone, and optional navigation systems in your Polo by simply speaking to them. Voice input can help you find the right channel, the correct address book entry, or the phone number you’re searching for. And what’s more, your Polo will understand you even better with the optional online voice control service¹ in We Connect Plus². For example, you can choose your favourite music online or enter destinations into your navigation system using this completely intuitive method.

¹ Online Voice Control is currently available for the following languages: German, English (UK and US), French, Spanish, Czech, and Italian.

Adaptive cruise control (ACC)¹ can help you keep within your pre-set maximum speed (up to 210 km/h) and maintain your distance to the vehicle in front. It also helps your Polo to automatically stop and start moving in traffic jams (if the DSG automatic gearbox option is installed). Predictive cruise control and cornering assist is added to the ACC in combination with the optional navigation system.³ This helps you avoid exceeding the speed limits by identifying the official limits along the route.² The system also uses route data from the navigation system to adapt the vehicle’s own speed to corners, junctions (exits), and roundabouts.²

¹ Standard on Style and R-Line.
² Within the system limits.
³ Only available from a later date.

The Side Assist lane change assist system uses an LED lamp in the exterior mirrors to indicate that there are other vehicles in the blind spot or driving up to 50 m behind you.¹ When you indicate to change lanes, the system calculates whether one of these vehicles could pose a hazard based on position and speed, and then flashes to alert you to this.

1 Within system limits. The driver must be prepared at all times to override the assistance system. These systems do not absolve drivers of their responsibility to drive with due care and attention.
2 Optional as part of Driver Assistance Package

The Polo with optional Park Assist¹ including parking distance warning system not only tells you whether a parking space is large enough when driving past, but can also drive into it for you². You control the clutch, accelerator, and brake, and observe your surroundings,² and the system does the rest.

• Sensors scan suitable parking spaces (up to a maximum of 40 km/h).
• Parallel parking spaces must have one vehicle length plus 80 cm manoeuvring distance for parking, and at least 25 cm in front of and behind the vehicle for driving out of a parking space.
• Parking bays must have at least 35 cm clearance on both sides.
