UK prices confirmed for new-look 2021 Volkswagen Polo

Volkswagen UK has announced how much the updated Polo supermini will cost, along with details of its trim levels and equipment.

New 2021 VW Polo Prices

Volkswagen is now taking orders for the updated Polo, with prices starting from £17,885.

The facelifted supermini boasts new technology from larger VW models, and will be offered with a ‘Y-shaped’ specification structure. 

Now into its sixth-generation, Volkswagen’s updates for the Polo are aimed at maintaining its position as one of the UK’s best-selling cars.

‘More generous standard equipment’

The revised Polo range begins with the Life model, which comes with LED headlights, adaptive cruise control and an eight-inch multimedia touchscreen.

Two front and two rear USB sockets are included, along with wireless smartphone connectivity

A three-cylinder, 1.0-litre petrol engine is offered with 80hp or 95hp. The more powerful option can be specified with a DSG automatic transmission. 

Volkswagen expects the entry-level Life trim to account for 75 percent of sales in the UK.

Small car, big luxuries

Moving up the range, the luxurious Style version is offered solely with the 95hp engine and manual gearbox. 

For £20,785, owners will gain Volkswagen’s IQ.Light LED matrix headlights, front and rear parking sensors, two-zone climate control and 16-inch alloy wheels. 

An updated 10.25-inch digital dashboard and a Discover navigation system complete the package.

Added sportiness included

The sporty R-Line range also starts at £20,785 for the 95hp manual version. Adding the seven-speed DSG automatic transmission takes the price to £22,220, while a more powerful 110hp version will cost £23,355.

Bespoke bumpers and 16-inch ‘Valencia’ alloy wheels will help the R-Line stand out from regular Polos. The rear features trim designed to mimic a quad-tailpipe exhaust.

On the inside, the R-Line gains a black headlining, along with sporty stainless steel pedals. A pair of sports seats are covered in ‘Karoso Art Velours’ microfleece upholstery, while standard equipment mirrors that seen in the Style model. 

An updated GTI performance model will join the range at a later date, with its final specification yet to be confirmed.
