- This is the new Volkswagen Polo. Over the years the style and design of the VW Polo have evolved to give it a more ‘mature’ look, but are these updates only skin deep? Watch my latest in-depth review to find out!

Mat:HOW MANY BOTTLES?
I am a fan of the boot. Such a nice little ball bag 😍
I know what's with the bottle thing?! I know it's hot in the UK at the moment but don't they have aircon in the cars there?!
@@nztv8589 What kind of question is that? 😂

I actually like it looking "boring" tbh it's one of my fav hatchbacks
I don’t think it looks boring, I think it looks elegant 🤩
Test drove one this week, this video is really helpful! Thanks Matt 🙌🏼
Love your vlogs, especially I love the way you explain about the cars- even if I don’t like the car, I enjoy watch every video of yours since Carbuyer era🙃😀
Design Upgrade vlogs?
Madern May happen in future about sneaker design☺️
My dearest carwow friend, whose name I don't know, cos you don't seem to say it much in your videos, I want to thank you for all your car reviews. You have helped me immensely in reaching a decision , and you've done it with a sense of wit and cheekiness that is unrivalled by your fellow reviewers, much as they try, and which has made me chuckle many a time (even though the polo won't!).
Thank you!
I actually bought my VW Polo based on this review. Thanks Matt!
How do you find it so far?
@@amiraliaali drives so smooth, looks great, pulls well. As he said, the "best small car you can buy" 😊
But also doesn't feel small, feel like a much larger car.
Great petrol consumption. List goes on.
Will get a coupe next, but this car is great
@@kidcanfly1 Great to hear that!!
how do yo find the fact they only seem to do 1.0 L engines now? struggles?
@@petermcnallt12pm if you put your foot down, shift gears well lol It really pulls well ahead on 2nd gear though.
It takes off well, go up through the gears and all of a sudden you are doing 50-60mph going so smoothly. I was indeed skeptical of 1L but it does the job and then some.
We have different models (Trendline, Comfortline, Highline, R-Line) in South Africa. R-Line with sunroof is beautiful!
R Line can be fitted on all the models, not sure about the trendline. I bought a Comfortline with the R Line package
We don't even get r line here in India. Sad life 😭
they are phasing out the vivo to boost sales in the new polo, VW pricing is a disaster. I got a top spec Mazda 2 85kw auto with leathers for the price of a 1l 70kw SSH comfort line full of cloth and plastic. even the polo GTI is cloth and plastic for 440k. VW with add ons like park distance control or camera needs you to choose blondspot monitoring and adaptive cruise control, that's 40K on the price.
VW is poorly priced and living off reputation, VW is built in south Africa thus poor craftsmanship. the most common cars in the southern cape region is the Toyota hilux and CX5, reliable and posh
honestly this guy makes the best car reviews. Was never into watching car reviews, till I ran into carwow
Totally agree. Just bought one but added R pack. = lowered suspension, larger dark grey wheels, nicer body kit. Stunning car. Second polo I’ve owned. Checked out all the competition again. It’s the best out there. LOVE IT. Go the manual though.
Why the manual tho, and a quick question, does your appelcarplay navigationg work with the center screen in the dials or is it just the build in sat nav? I have thought about bying the R-line+.
@@mathiasnygaard9652 Manual simply makes every commuter car more fun and responsive.... And it's cheaper lol. It's a no brainer.
Still the best in its class! Conservative classy styling that still looks good after 10 years!
Love the way you do all the vlogs, especially your 5 annoying things and cool features of the car.The way you say “just go right ahead and buy it” it’s just so convincing!
I’ve had mine three years, I still like it a lot. My 95 PS engine isn’t rough, it’s pretty quiet. The only annoying issue is that the handbrake is closer to the passenger seat, so you might have to explain why you keep rubbing the passenger’s thigh. Several times I took the key out of the ignition and the radio was still on, seems to be a bug. Overall it’s comfortable, pretty quite, with excellent mpg, I’ve even had 70 mpg from a tank three times now, and over 60 mpg is usual.
Always delivering cracking reviews! keep em coming!
Best car reviews on the web hands down in my opinion. Cheers from Oz.
Those "upgraded" boot floors on most new cars are just a con. Should be standard!
BMW i3 2013 in the backside
They are standard
I got the standard 1ltr and it’s actually not that bad, bit slow to pick up speed but once you get going it’s such a great car. The best car I have had so far
In my opinion it's a lovely, sleek and modern interior.
absolutely agree, stylish imo
@Evanthecarspotter what would you get for the same price range?
Wow it’s just so full of character and personality
Just had the opportunity to drive the 2019 65hp (manual gearbox) and was pleasantly surprised. I drove about 140 miles of mostly motorways and averaged about 44 mpg. It looks and feels great inside. I thought it was also very quiet (I could hardly hear the engine, no wind noises) and it just drives effortlessly. The GPS let me down twice though (it went into mute all by itself and later on the screen just froze), forcing me restart it. If I had the money I'd definitely buy one, it's a great looking car, although I'd probably go for the 95 hp version.
We’ve actually purchased this as a second car for the family. We decided on the SE spec and what a premium feel car it is. We’ve had lots of compliments on it. Highly recommend one.
Your review sealed the deal for me. Cheers Matt!
Thks again for the laugh.Always entertaining and informative.
I’ve just bought one and it’s brilliant.
wow they went forward in time- 2018 but 2020 model...wow! Matt is magic!
its 2018-2020 model i dont know why they dont make that the title instead of lying
looks amazing with the r-line, wish you tested that one! Weird that they don't give you the fully-specced POLO when they know you'll review it (at least I'd assume they know). But as always, another great review!
Keep it up bro....thanks for all the info it really helps
Its a hell of a lot nicer than previous models. Well done
@7:47... VW doesn't have a 1L 125hp engine. you probably meant to say 115hp.
Carwow haven't done their research properly, its not the first vw review that matt has not known the models and engines!
I got my r-line version 2 weeks ago (limestone grey). It looks very cool and gets the attention from a lot of people on the road.
Great review, thanks. I’m currently waiting for my new gti to be delivered, when are you going to review that? Thank you in advance!
We’ve had ours for 3 weeks now and love it
Hi. Ime intrested in buying one of the turbo versions. If you could tell me about your experience i would very appreciate it. Especially about the dsg. Dont you feel huge delays? Thx
My family just got one under a week ago and it is brilliant!
Wow, quite a conclusion. A Polo vs Golf comparison would be good - mainly from the PoV of small families (2+2).
Great review. Got the comfort line with R line and driver assist add ons
The previous Polo had rear seats that fold completely flat. I always loved that and used it a lot. That car was more practical than my current Golf.
@@dirkdiggler6230 czcams.com/video/tJSM5BjT_HE/video.html
Yes they do.
I like it ... I'm ok with it being "boring"
I completely concur. It's conservative, but in a classy way.
I am looking to get a VW Polo and I really like it. And I've seen everywhere that it is "boring". How do people define "boring"? I do not get it. I see a great looking car with an the best interior I've seen in a hatchback and the Beats version I'm considering getting has an amazing soundsystem, good infotainment and a great steering wheel. I haven't test drived it yet but how can it be "boring"?
Got the polo with White silver color and i love it. So many people have complimented me on the car. It looks really nice with those alloy wheels with torsby design. I wonder what those people with the boring statement drive ;)
Darius Andrey i got a manual one from my company as i travel around germany in my job, i drive around ~500km daily and its just pure awesomeness to use a hatchback for such long roads and distances without missing something
Χρατς Χρουτς τι ειναι αυτο? great looking car? σε σχεση με τι με λαντα ναι ειναι πιο ωραιο γενικα ειναι κακασχημο πες μας οτι συγκρινεις αυτη τη πατατα με το fiesta δε υπαρχεις στο χαρτη ουτε σε εμφανιση ουτε σε κρατημα γενικα vw παιρνουν ατομα αδιαφορα με το θεμα οδηγησης απλα οπως λεει και στο βιντεο για να τους πηγαινει απ το ενα σημειο στο αλλο ειναι οκ αμα εσενα σου φτανει αυτο εμας μας περισσευει αλλα γενικα δε πας πουθενα μ αυτη τη μαλακια
The Polo is getting more and more like the golf!
JS golf is way over priced.. if you build a polo it turns out like a golf tbh
considering what the mk8 golf has become the polo is the actual golf.
Still a crap car
@@flizzy4645 Why
Great analogy! I swear I never saw it coming!
More viewsthan normal I love your video's so much😁👍👍👍👍
Got my polo whis week, thanks to your review. Super pleased with it!
3:11 “Dwayne Johnson car” 😂😂
Great review Matt, I’ve had the old polo and wasn’t a fan of the new look so had a golf instead. Love the converse trainers by the way where did you get them from never seen any like that.
@ Matt, like the way you presented the headlights!! Funny!
Car and presentation ❤️
I'm gonna get the Beats version next year, my Yaris isn't good for my audio needs. Lol
love your reviews
Very nice review! Which car is better in your opinion - the Polo or Ibiza?
got this as a first car and absolutely love it
🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️
How is the fuel consumption?
I am a bit confused. It is still polo VI right?
I saw another video regarding the 2018 model. and now comes 2019, could some body tell me what are the differences?
Cheers :D
Cheers
I think it looks great, they really took their time to design the exterior
Good old time review.... Thank you
worth paying extra for the LEDs? do they even turn in the corners or are completely static?
they turn, but not worth it. you can buy good led lights for 100 eur
Just took delivery of mine today and I'm already in love
Great review again!
Looks pretty good! Will you do a review of the polo GTI?
Why are they making small cars bigger this one looks bigger than golf 4
I think it is because of the endless 'best in class..' battle that manufacturers have to deal with. Best in class boot space = boot a liiittle bit wider. Best in class rear leg room = car a liiittle bit longer. Best in class head room = car a liiiitle bit taller. Best in class safety = car a little bit wider/longer to incorporate more safety things. All those little increments year on year means the cars are all growing. It's frustrating as these 'small cars' are no longer that small. I think the Nissan Micra best illustrates the trend, put a 2001 Micra along side a 2018 Micra and the size difference is really quite noticeable.
Time for countrys to make you pay extra fees for bigger cars or pay no fees for very small cars. Look for Japan.
European cars get wider and bigger and it's almost impossible to fit a middle class car into 15 year old parking lots or drive safely on narrow roads.
Agreed it’s too big and there’s no 3 door
Won’t be long and it’ll be as big as my Golf Mk5 GTi, feel I’m driving old school car but I love it and it’s all paid for!
Crash safety... These cars are way more safer than the equivalent econobox from the 90s.
Cover the 2019 polo GTI Vs Ford Fiesta ST 2019
Can't wait for the GTi review Mat 😋😎
You’ve sold it wonderfully. Can’t wait to get one.
I'm still very happy with my Polo 1.2 TSI, think I'll keep it for a few more years. Mat, we'll have to talk about the quality and cheesiness rating of your jokes. :D
Great review probably going to buy this as my first car so thanks for all the info. 👍
Too much for me 😂☹
It is a good choice. Thank you for the detailed review.
You have already done a review for the Polo , but i guess you like it so much you did it again :P
I don't know if the new polo makes itself or the golf irrelevant. On the one hand, it's just a little extra to just go and get a golf but on the other, it's almost as roomy and comfortable as a golf.
Please please please do a Polo vs Fiesta.
Fiesta will win easily from this boring unreliable Polo
nakul singh I agree please do it
redwhite_040 unreliable? Compared to a Fiesta? Please don’t comment if you know nothing about cars😂
redwhite_040 what should else I compare. Ferrari 488 ?
It's obvious Matt is Vw biased, so a Polo vs Fiesta would be useless. But ppl like to pay alot more for the VW, just because it says.. Vw...
Best analogy ever. Wingardium Polioso!
Matt remember you and your team are amazing
German interior designs are ageless.
Apart from 5 years from now when that screen looks like a game boy.
Marcel Tansie haha🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
A true petrol-head my smartphone doesn't cost 20k
Samlawts 1 Neither does that screen.
*2647* *LTG.TG* but the car does. Funnily enough the screen is included.
It's looking more like a golf, for some reason I prefer the previous model.
I have a GTI plus on order cannot wait
Just got one of these and it's a really great car!
have you got the sel model. how fast is 115 bhp. what are the pros and cons of the car. what u like the most?
The first generation of Polo Mk6 (last year model) isn't even come to my country yet and the newer one is already out 😖😓
Nuhan Hidayat and to make things worse, the one that come was built in india.. so it's like an entry level Japanese hatchback lol
raffizz26 yes, that's why i prefer Mazda 2 instead, with same price range, more tech & feature, more good looking even though it has smaller space
I also lost faith in Volkswagen, too when they decided to get rid of the common models and replace it with the Chinese market ones.
Nuhan Hidayat I'm so sorry for that but here in Greece we are always up to date.
In my country the new polo hasn't arrived neither. Anyway since Volkswagen sents the polo from India the quality was remarkably lower than the ones coming from Spain. Now the new polo will come fron Brasil and people said the quality is similar, so I wouldn't expect the full led headlights not even as an extra
I’ve had the new polo for about 3 months now and i love everything about it, great small car, especially when you do a lot of driving. Only thing I regret is getting the smaller 1.0 litre engine because it’s incredibly slow 😂
How's the reliability for you?
I have the 1.0 TSI with 95bhp. Agile enough for any city and highway, around 10.5s to 100km/h and 190km/h top speed.
the sel variant with TSI engine is pretty quick
@ToxicRakyat yeah mine has the 6 speed manual
Yeah I had the 1.0 litre 95 engine, and I must admit it is pretty slow. It was okay with city driving and highway driving. But any hills it died!
May I know if this version is the 80 hp? I am going to buy it and this info would be much appreciated. Thanks
Just bought one! going to get it in a few days ^^
How was a 2020 polo review posted 2 years ago?
i think they have edited the title as the car hasnt changed since then
That's awesome!
@RpM_Evan it is
@1% Evan Ł you must drive a Ferrari by the way you talk.
Thank you carwow
My fave is the 5 things good & bad.. wouldn’t mind waiting for them towards the end of the video .. once you have covered everything else, inc driving
VW good reliable car. I got polo. Drive it's woww.... Fantastic speed up till 7 speeds. 👌
Mazda 2 SkyActiv with a Rightsize 1.5ltr engine please.
Hey matt
I had 1 request
Can you do a comparison video of the new Audi A3 sedan Merc A sedan and the BMW 3 series Sedan (entry level luxary sedan)
Thinking of buying one of these. Need help tho. Do they still make the 65bhp 1.0 brand new?
“Honey, I shrunk the Passat!”
You mean the golf
Is this the first “go right ahead and buy” car?!
Hmmm. You covered all the main bits Matt and it was a good review.
However, other than the pedestrian emergency autonomous breaking, you did not mention anything else about driver assistance.
For example, the Fiesta (which I recently bought through Carwow with a huge discount 😊) has mirror blind angle warning lights, and lane keep assist. The Jazz has similar aids.
It would be good to see a group test which will include all the tech and driver aid thingd.
Mat's analogy is impressive!
Polo mk5 is the best Polo because it's actually compact
This is my first car
For someone who currently has a mk7 golf. I'm considering this to be my next car. Either this or a golf GTI
I like a solid door close sound. Thumbs up.
I have one and i tell you... it’s the best small car I ever drove. Many people thinks it’s a Golf. Mine includes Brake assist, ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL and climate control!
"Go ahead and buy it!!"
when does the new polo gti version usually get released with respect to the standard polo model?
@mat 1 Suggestion, next time you do some reviews please do the exquisite brake test.
The model I drive, one before this one is the best.
The new -Polo- Golf
Nice review. You should do top gear or be on the tv
Whats the SD1 and SD2 in the glove box, i knows its a Sd card but what is it for??
