VW Polo 1.6 TDI
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
