Producing 204bhp, the Polo GTI’s 2.0-litre turbocharged engine will take you from 0-62mph in 6.5sec. It has more than enough oomph to get you up to speed very easily and puts out its power in a strong and progressive manner.

2.0 TSI

Hatchback

The VW Group famously spends more money on research and development than any rival – and as a result, perhaps it should be no surprise that our testers rate its cars so consistently highly.

The fact that many of those cars use the same underpinnings also helps, because it means that if they get it right once, they have the foundations to keep on getting it right.

However, the Volkswagen brand faces plenty of tough competition, often from within, because the rapidly rising Seat and Skoda brands that are also part of the group have access to the same technology.

VOLKSWAGEN

POLO

The GTI hot hatch gets plenty of standard equipment, including 17in alloy wheels, sports suspension with sports adjustable dampers, matrix LED headlights, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, front sports seats, a 10.25in digital driver display, a touchscreen infotainment system with DAB radio, Bluetooth, built-in sat nav, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto smartphone mirroring, two-zone climate control, and front and rear parking sensors.

2.0 TSI GTI 5dr DSG

Black Edition

Entry-level Life trim is actually our pick of the bunch. That’s because it keeps costs down but still gives you a good amount of kit, which includes 15in alloy wheels, manual air conditioning, rain sensing wipers, an 8.0in touchscreen infotainment system, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto smartphone mirroring and an auto-dimming rear view mirror. For extra comfort, we’d advise adding the reasonably priced adjustable lumbar support. 

Life

This mid-spec trim doesn’t cost much more than our favourite Life trim but adds a couple of extra niceties, including a rear-view camera, tinted rear windows, 16in alloy wheels and wireless phone-charging.

Match

If you want your Polo to look slightly sportier, R-Line trim is for you. Coming in at around the same price as Style trim, it also adds larger 16in alloy wheels, dual-zone climate control, built-in sat-nav, front and rear parking sensors, adjustable lumbar support and a 12.5in digital instrument display.

R-Line

Opting for Style trim gives you everything that you get with entry-level Life trim but adds larger 16in alloy wheels, Matrix LED headlights, dual-zone climate control, built-in sat-nav, front and rear parking sensors, adjustable lumbar support and a 12.5in digital instrument panel.
