Volkswagen Polo 1.6 TDI 75PS 5dr
What is it?
Potentially the best supermini you can buy. Styling cues from the Golf injects some style into the new Polo; lighter and more efficient than its predecessor, too, despite being longer and wider. Engine highlights include all-new 1.2 TSI turbo petrol and three 1.6 TDI common-rail diesels. On sale October, prices should start at £9,000. Tested here in 75PS diesel form.
What’s hot?
- Styling is sharp yet mature, looks good on the road
- Cabin very classy with soft-touch dash and quality materials
- More space inside than before
- Diesel is super smooth…
- …quite punchy and returns nearly 70mpg and 109g/km
- Precise steering, superb ride, hardly any wind noise
- Residuals will be superb
- Bluemotion variant due later, promises 87g/km
What’s not?
- Lacks the overall sparkle of the Fiesta…
- …with a more mature, less sporty driving experience
- Likely to be rather pricey
