Volkswagen recently introduced a new version of its popular Polo Sedan, now sporting improved in-car technologies and a new design. Here's everything that you need to know about the newcomer.

In this article:

Is the Volkswagen Polo Sedan a good car? 

Sharing much of its components with the Polo hatchback means that the sedan version of the Polo is just a slightly more practical version of what is already considered a segment-leading product.

Who is the Volkswagen Polo Sedan a good car for?

The Polo Sedan appeals to those looking to get into the A0-segment within the Volkswagen brand but require more boot space for the family and perhaps their various hobbies.

Is the Volkswagen Polo Sedan good first car?

While the Polo hatch is arguable a better first car, there is nothing about the Polo Sedan that makes it a bad first vehicle.

Is the Volkswagen Polo Sedan a good family car?

With a large 521-litre boot, solid safety credentials, a spacious interior and a reputation for reliability, a Polo Sedan makes for a tempting family vehicle proposition in 2022.

Is there a Volkswagen Polo Sedan hybrid?

There are no hybrid options within the Polo Sedan range, only a 1.6-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine.

What’s it like to drive? 

Reviewer’s opinion

Volkswagen recently introduced a Polo sedan range locally. Like the Volkswagen Polo hatch, the sedan models look very stylistic and feature the latest in comfort and convenience systems from the German automaker. The Polo sedan is offered in two trim levels with the higher specified Life variant also available with either a 5-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission.   AutoTrader
