Volkswagen Polo dimensions

The Volkswagen Polo GTI exterior is unmistakable, so much so that casual observers may first of all think that the Volkswagen Polo GTI is a Golf. That’s because it has been garnished with the same add-ons, including sporty five-spoke alloys, bigger bumpers and side sills, a chromed exhaust pipe and red detailing on a honeycomb front grille. The front lamps are new too, though you pay extra for the LED daytime running lights. While the Volkswagen Polo GTI comes as traditional with three doors, you can have a 5-door model as well. It doesn’t exterior quite as sporty, however.

While the dashboard of the Volkswagen Polo is roomy enough, don’t think it’ll replace a Golf easily; the Volkswagen Polo is still a small vehicle. It compares well to its competitors, which include the Renaultsport Clio, Seat Ibiza Cupra and Skoda Fabia Vrs. However, the Volkswagen Polo’s boot is the smallest of the lot at 280 litres. At least the back seatings fold away to create more room.

The Volkswagen Polo GTI has everything you need in a junior hot hatch. The standout features are the look-and-feel tweaks that make it a GTI, though it may be worth investing in a set of leather sports seatings to really lift the dashboard. However, you’re also paying for the Volkswagen badge on the nose, as the identically powered Seat and Skoda alternatives are cheaper to buy.
