Exterior

The Volkswagen Polo, unlike its competition, has the classic hatchback design, the one any kindergarten kid would draw for a small car. The lines are clean straight and elegant. The sleek front grille comes with sharp looking headlamps and then there are some chrome additions that is similar to other Volkswagen fascias. The side profile of the Polo hasn't changed and this still looks a well proportionate hatchback. The rear of the Polo doesn’t get a major update. The 10-spoke alloy wheel design looks stylish and much better than the Vento. 15-inch wheels are offered on the Highline variant, while the rest of them get 14-inch ones.

Interior

Volkswagen has been updating the Polo’s interiors from time to time and now the premium hatchback comes loaded with features like touchscreen infotainment system, reverse parking camera, satellite navigation, USB and aux in-put, steering mounted audio controls. The GT range has full black interiors and this makes it look sportier. The space in the front row is good, however it is the second row that is tight on space making it difficult for tall people to seat behind.
