VW POLO 2021
CAR INFORMATION
It’s the third best-selling car of 2021 in the UK! Still, the chase is on, which is why Volkswagen has recently revealed a mid-life facelift with a fresh look, new trim levels and “big car” tech.
But it’s also a hugely important car to the Volkswagen Group. First introduced to the UK in 1975 and now in its sixth generation, over 18 million have been produced globally, while roughly every one in six VWs sold in the UK in 2020 was a Polo. This car – the current iteration having been with us since 2017 – matters.
Well, it looks a little more Golf-y, there’s a new front light strip LED daytime running lights and headlights as standard, plus optionally available adaptive matrix technology. Round the back the Polo lettering has been shifted centrally under the VW badge, and there are new-shape taillights. Looks pretty smart though, wouldn’t you say?
The updated Polo gets VW’s latest infotainment system with either 8.0-inch or optional 9.2-inch touchscreen, complete with touch sensitive buttons and knobs either side to control the volume and map zoom. The graphics are good, the touchscreen is responsive and it’s easy to navigate your way around, while Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are supported as standard.
