- The all new Volkswagen Polo has been a constant challenger towards the top of its class since it was introduced in 1975. Now in its sixth generation, it's bigger, sturdier and more grown-up than ever. So grown-up, in fact, that it makes me wonder whether or not there's any need to get a Golf anymore! Watch my launch review to find out if the new Polo is all the Volkswagen you'll ever need.

carwow can you make a video on Infinity QX30 please?
Please launch india same model same look... achieve new record
@@vishnujayakumar1467 as much as we want it, no one will buy it here, this is bigger than old Polo and no one even buys old Polo anymore
@free User stfu
I guess Im randomly asking but does anyone know of a tool to get back into an instagram account??
I stupidly forgot the password. I appreciate any tips you can offer me
Does anyone feel that after watching loads of carwow reviews they just can't watch any other channel?
II
Hmm...no...not really
I got a feel like i need to watch other channels to get an independent review for some of the cars.
doug demuro is the best
Zu Reich und Zu Schön fuck u
I like how he wears a polo for this review.
Yaaas I noticed that too
If only he was playing polo
be quiet.
@@vaskarkeishamvaskar7937 No u
The first time i prefer the polos design over the golf.
AnimalzyNL same
I am thinking that Polo should be new Golf... maybe it should have been even before. It is more the "people's car" than Golf now days, too.
even more now with the new golf exterior
"Design"? What do you mean they look exactly the same.. Just the back is different
Is the Polo more reliable than a Golf?
The design is so much nicer than the last generation, I would definitely consider this over a golf
It's huge for a polo
I know. I remember the days when they were about 2cm across and had a little hole in the middle.
carwow 😂
the old polo 3,97 meters ...the new one is 4.053.....but I get that u r talking about the old ones
4 meters long cars can be pretty spacious inside
carwow you should quit for that joke
No Surrender Shut up don't tell other people what to do!!
One of the rare modern cars where you see it and immediately go "Gorgeous!"
It's dull
@@AWhileHanlin dull and gorgeous
It's quite common in my country
@@yandisamtshali7228 Eish too common & high theft risk in SA. I wouldn't take it even if you give me for free haha.
No one ever has said a Polo looks gorgeous.
Looks much better than the old Polo.
jpchevron How exactly? It's not really revolutionary as it is evolutionary.. the design is really basic and bland not a step up from the outgoing model....
It definitely does not look the same, it looks way more modern and sporty, plus it looks much bigger.
@Throw Rowley
Apparently we are brainwashed, for liking a car's design. Ok.
Its just bigger
No way. The old polo's look much nicer especially with 3 doors.
I picked my 95bhp dsg 4 weeks ago now and I can honestly say it’s perfect in every way . I am glad I added the parking pilot and folding mirrors .limestone grey looks prefect and the seats are so comfy
Cant believe ive just found this guys reviews on youtube! Makes completely average car reviews interesting and good to watch, more of this please!
Almost 4 months into owning this car and so far I like it. Indeed very easy and relaxing to drive.
Fuel consumption is good as well! I once managed to reach 50mpg on a 6 mile commute to work, that took 10 minutes. Generally it's around 40mpg for me, I try to take it easy.
Mat is just super! Best reviews and best presentation ever!
I have ordered one just like the one Mat is reviewing, same color, highline edition however with dsg and 115 hp (this one has also rear disc brakes) , power sunroof, electronic suspension, 17 inch rims just like in the video, led all around and inside, all safety features including ACC etc. Mat definitely played a major role to that as I'm following every review he makes. Expecting it end of April mid May.
Got it a couple of weeks ago. Better than expected, the ACC function is really something, you should get it if you can, on Highline is standard. Electronic adjusted suspension is another big plus as you can tailor the suspension and performance to your liking, excellent seats, nice interior with led lights all around, even on the door handles!So far so good although I was hoping for a better set of tires than the NEXEN NBLUE HD PLUS that I got. Mind you the 17 inch wheels have to be set at 2.5 bar(36 psi) front 2.3 (33 psi ) at the back, which may be a little stiff for some but these are 215/45 tires so not to be complaining. However, factory setting for a more comfort ride as option is 32 psi front 29 psi back but you somehow loose the steering feel that way.
lovely color... most cars on the road are black/silver/white... BORING!
XSunacX I think that white is a cute color for a polo, I own a white golf 7 and it is lovely
They are easier to sell tho :/
XSunacX because you don't have to pay for them. I am absolutely sure this color is an option.
This color is the most expensive one. I personally hate it. Black, Silver or white all day!
There are plenty of colors that will make a car look great: black, ultra dark grey, opposite white, Inkblack, Pitch black, Mat black, ...
Currently own a mk5 version! I love this so much :o the styling looks great!
I’ve just bought this car today in white and I love it already. So looking forward to my journeys in this car. And the fact it’s maintained a really good value! Vw’s hold their value much better than other cars. It drives so smoothly I feel like I’m on a magic carpet. It’s gorgeous would highly recommend to anyone considering.
I'm getting mine next week but in orange I can't wait since I have Been using a polo 2006 plate car gunna be a dream to drive in 😅😅
That's exactly why I got mine instead of the Fiesta/Fabia/Ibiza. They really do hold their value quite well
@@ImIncluded166 did you buy it? How's it? :)
2019: VW up is small
2029: VW up is almost larger than polo and golf
This video helped me a lot. Bought a Polo R-Line last week and I love it.
Whats the point if its the same size as the Golf? Unless the next generation of Golf will be huge! -.-
20 centimetres difference :P
automobiledimension.com/volkswagen-car-dimensions.html this site is super useful btw for comparing car dimensions
Jezza IV the golf is 25 cm longer more or less
You can still fit a 2.0 litre turbo in both so doesn't even matter too much if it is smaller
What's the point in selling more cars then they where before with just the golf? I have no idea! -.-
Anthony Mehring
What?
Seems like an amazing car! Great design and functionality. A very appealing price tag, and the same technology and interior as the golf. I hope they release an electric or hybrid verdion as well.
By far the best reviewer I have seen, Very engaging.
Just had a test drive in one and I have to say that I am absolutley stunned by this car... VW have done a great job on this one!
Which engine did you test drive?
On behalf of all teenagers who are getting this as their first car, yes the drum brakes are very important
You make the reviews really enjoyable. Thank you :)
Just bought my 2019 polo yesterday. Love it!
Can't wait to see the review of the new GTI! I would like to see how it handles the 2.0 engine and how it compares with the new Fiesta ST (Also looking forward to see that review)
Bruce Lee new Fiesta are abit ermmm not as good. My Mum works for Ford, been inside it and driven it. Not happy with it, interior is nice though maybe the ST will be better of course
Should be good but the only weird thing is it's got 20 more HP than the previous 1.8 Polo GTi but 0-60 time is the same. Either traction control isn't great or the new Polo is heavier (and probably thirstier).
Milind Dixit likely the 20 extra hour is offset by the weight of the larger engine
My bad. 8HP more not 20! But I guess previous 0-60 was good enough, and extra size and kit probably helps.
I think VW knows that owners of the current model will question the need of upgrading to it, but the the extra length and chassis will probably give it a completely different feel. Like feeling like a big car on a motorway, and the longer wheelbase will improve handling. Plus all the extra new in-car tech, more rear space and a 2.0L 200hp engine - I think the GTi could be the perfect all-rounder. I have a Golf R 7.0 at the moment and generally Im happy to sacrifice practicality for a bit more performance (and you don't need sacrifice much with the Golf R)...but I reckon if they had this new model of Polo with 4WD and maybe 250HP+...I reckon that would be "the one".
Design of the car is beautiful. So refreshing and fun. It looks great!
Drove one yesterday..what a stunnng car. Wonderful interior,nippy performance ,superb build quality.
Great Review !! I have to do a drive test with it soon.
VW has outdone themselves on this one! It looks gorgeous (especially in that colour scheme), has the perfect size for big European cities and offers premium options (digital driver's display etc.).
HOWEVER please offer an electric version!!! If they would release one, I would buy it in a heartbeat!
Andreas lol
Andreas better hybrid
Reliability is number one priority
no need for electric bullshit. petrol and diesel is all you need
It is missing the most important thing in a car...POWERRR!!!!
4:10 That badge/boot handle sticking out triggered my OCD.
Nothing much. I think it's the rear view mirror. It's infuriating though!
Nothing much. That's the rear view camera
I'd rather they just put the rear view camera by the number plate. Putting it in the handle seems a bit too complex. Just another expensive solution to a very small problem.
Nothing much. No it's very smart actually
My golf gti has it and it never gets dirty because it's covered 99% of the time
Thinking that it'll break that easily is not true
My brother's car's camera sits above the license plate and it becomes impossible to use it when it rains because the lens get dirty and foggy very easily
You push the badge like that to open the tailgate. However, it also opens automatically when reverse gear is engaged, as it contains the cars rear view camera
Excellent review, as always from Mat. But why would they fit drum brakes in the back instead of disks, whilst having adaptive dumpers? What kind of corners did they cut? I presume the car has a beam suspension in the back instead of a multi-link set-up.
The previous Polo already had the active cruise control since I have it on my 2015 Polo. The wheel and buttons on it are actually the exact same thing.
Love the new Polo! Great review Mat!
I'd be happy to swap my Mk4 Golf for this..;-))
:-)
The Matrix only the old 1 series the newer 1 series has wider tail lights
TOFUパンPLAY Mat and the Carwow crew always make great reviews
TOFUパンPLAY Can't defeat The Tata tigor.
Thanks for the review Mat. Any plans for a review of the GTI version?
I think it could have the potential to be an absolute bargain for the people that might have been considering the Golf GTI. Add a Carwow discount and you've won the game.
Finally, the steering wheel is on the correct side :D
yeah, finally on the right side. I mean left side... you know what I mean :)
@@Anno_Nymouse yes, the left side of the cat interior.
Look forward to getting this as a demo when it comes in!
"Energetic Orange" you say?
No thanks! I prefer it in "CO2 Grey".
Sorry, I just had to.
Diesel engines emit less CO2 then gasoline
They cheated on the NOx not the CO2
#imfunatpartys
So do I buy it, short list it, consider it or avoid it??? I'm lost...
It was so plain obvious what he was meaning. Of course buy it.
Common. Just buy it. It is everything you except from a small car.
Got mine recently, and I love it :)
Get a Toyota Corolla instead
buy two
Great reviews as always Mat
I am happy that i found this Channel please dont stop your videos 💯💯👆
I would definitely have the Polo over the Golf!! Great review, thank you.
The noise you talking about we call it a "vvrrpha" in South Africa

Lol
Matt is the best of the best at car reviews!
Good review. Did I miss the bit where you told us about the engines available? So how many different diesel and petrol options? BHP? MPG? DSG?
Ive just ordered the R line polo in that colour 😎👌i was going to order the golf but like that polo ?ordered car through work 👍
So new in 2018 it was £13.5k...and now, 5 years later, it is still £13.5k used with 33k miles on the clock. Just shows how bonkers the used market is at the moment.
Great for sellers bad for buyers.
Love this type of review, rather than your usual hasty review
The best car reviewers period! Should be on top gear!
i think its time for head2head with polo, fiesta and ibiza 2018 :)
Sindila Alexandru I think the polo would win
I do like the styling of the new Polo a bit but what really annoys me is that the backlights of the Polo and Ibiza are literally THE SAME. I know this is not uncommon in the automotive industry but still it's just... meh
CoDMW2freakNL Keep in mind SEAT is owned by Volkswagen. And the taillights of Polo and Ibiza are not literally THE SAME. Look at some cars from the 50's, they have literally the same headlights and sometimes taillights. Why don't you hate on 1950's cars instead?
Oh and look at Mercedes C-Class and E-Class and finally the S-Class, they have similar taillights and they're all three are from Mercedes-Benz.
I know SEAT is in the VAG and I know more manufacturers do this (/have done this)... I know I'm being nitpicking but I just think it would look better if the taillights where more distinctive from one another.
CoDMW2freakNL Look at old cars from 1950's, they have similar taillights and headlights
Waiting for Volkswagen T Roc Review, Mat !!
Mr. Perfect ! Actually, there is a T-Roc review by Mat Watson.
that is only top 10 things about T Roc...
I was mean to say full car review !!
Much nicer than the previous! They 've done a really good job.
Matt did such a good job with this video that I bought one as an alternative to a golf. Most of it is ok but gear change is poor. Brakes are a little weak and the handbrake is not as good as the electronic version. 60mpg for 1.0 L.
new kinda realistic price dream car. full digital display with huge touchscreen available looking like a friggin s-class!
Haja
Dream car? No.
Its like an S class? No.
Calm down, yeah it looks nice but nothing like a s-class :D
calm down, why are you comparing an S class with a polo?
Exactly compare this to a fiesta ztec s & it out classes it especially interior!
Oh boy.. Comparing a Polo to an S-class.
We want this version in México!
i bought this last week its just amazing
Excellent driving skills shows every car is premium
Drastic change from conventional polo, nice dash color and geometry.
0:21
man, there is missing one generation between IV and V, from 2006/2007 I think
No that’s a facelift version of the 2002 mark 4
That's a face-lift for the mk4. Went from the 4 bug eyes to the golf mk5 looking front. They're still the same car and the mk4 was on sale for a looong time for vw
I quite like this Polo and I am happy that this is available in manual asw.
Just ordered mine. Did a test drive. Amazing car
That interior😊😍😍

Carwow is soo addictive to watch all the videos are good
I like that they put a splash of colour in there. That works really well. I suspect its an extra though!
Sir.. Why you have not done a full review... And this one wasn't like your previous reviews that.... Please done a full indeapth review
Mat is without doubt the most talented car reviewer on TH-cam. He never fails to deliver.
I really like the presenter, he’s hilarious and talks about a lot of the comment things I think about
You need and deserve 1M subscribers Matt
I pray you reach it quick
Your prayer came true
I love the Vw polo. It's been 5 years since I've had mine, but the after sales service is so so bad ! It's expensive to maintain, and just a mess when it's in the hands of the service center :/
If I didn't love the car so much, I'd have sold it off! Hoping this one aspect will improve with the new generation .
This video made me buy Polo. Ordered it one month ago. Can't wait for December. Early Christmas for me.
Hello there how's the car going so far
@@rajiismail7205 40 000 km so far. No problems. I got Beats with lot of added equipment. It looks beautiful and it's perfect small dynamic city car.
@@croKingRIncho93 that is absolutely amazing thank you very much. Also im new to the car world and i just got my license could you give me a slight idea how much does it cost to own a car if its the correct wording. Much appreciated.
@@rajiismail7205 It depends of the country you live, do you want new or used car, What equipment you want in your car ect. Mine was about 22000€
@@croKingRIncho93 oh i see. And what about the taxes and the fuel consumption. Thank you very much again.
I've got a golf mk7 and my girlfriend has a polo mk5. One thing I notice in the polo is the controls are incredibly light compared to mine. For example the clutch just goes straight to the back of the footwell if you as much as look at it funny. Is this still a thing with the mk6?
Gives it a much less premium feel I found. Stiffer controls are definitely something I'd pay a little extra for in the golf.
Lol that was the best car review ever. You have just earned new subscriber :D
I think the Polo looks a lot better than the present golf! Too bad the US isn't ever going to get them lol
Golf facelift looks a bit better I think
Sir please make a detailed review...
Lthat noise is soo amazing when you drive !
I love mat powers. His vids are so entertaining!
they should sell these in the us
Drum brakes are fine for small cars, most of the braking is done by the fronts anyway.
They also don't cause brake dust or cost a fortune to replace, I'm sure most owners won't even notice the lack of rear discs.
Had a test drive! Definitely getting this one
I don't know what it is, but there's just something really likeable about this guy...good review sir!
Theres more on the options list than on the ford as some things on the ford list come as standard but optional on the Volkswagen lists like rear disks leather steering wheel leather gearshift leather multimedia steering wheel .
The new Polo looks so good, amazing design... I‘d love to own that car!
Great review, I subbed to your channel
Seems like a great car! Also looks great, and what a color that orange! Sick of silver, red and white cars. The old Polo was already very nice to drive, but this also now has the comfort of Golf.
This is an S-Class among the superminis.
All right, I don't know where the S-Class comparisons are coming from (I've seen this in another comment) but it's a Polo.
And judging by the marks from different reviewers it's around or slightly behind the new Fiesta. Not sure what you people gain for hyping a car.
Sergiu-Lucian Petrică I did not say that the Polo is an S-Class, not sure why anyone would say that... What I obviously meant is, that the new Polo is to other superminis, what an S-Class is to other rival luxury cars, mainly aiming towards technology and comfort.
Klemen Levstik Perhaps you should have mentioned it this way, because your first statement resonates differently with every person.
Owen Staples and that's my opinion you banana.
Sergiu-Lucian Petrică I thought it was perfectly common and well known phrase, my first statement. A lot of people are using this kind of sentences, so I thought it would make a lot of sense, my bad...
Now that's a Polo I'm comfortable buying... South Africa is waiting!
Bosworth Otavio So are the carjacking criminals...
Edwin Simpson Eish bruh maybe VW need to include a gun as safety feature cuz South Africa is just too much
Bosworth Otavio Hahahaha 😂😂 You broke me there !! I agree, then hopefully they'll stay with their rightful owners... I can't wait for the Fiesta vs Polo battle next year 👏🏻👏🏻 RS vs R is already so good
Edwin Simpson I read that both Fiesta ST and Polo GTI produce 147kw which is basically 197Hp (if not mistaken). The only problem is the Fiesta gives that power in a smaller sized engine 1.5L compared to Polo's 2.0L. Till now my fav was the Fiesta simply cuz it looks way sportier and is fun to drive that Polo GTI, but that may change now cuz I totally am fucking with this new Polo😁
Bosworth Otavio You're correct bro ! Ford doing some amazing things with small engines ! Fuel economy is going to be awesome on that 3pot ST... Yeah the new Polo looks very good !!! I hope the base model won't disappoint... They are sort of the same car, yet they differ so much!!
Interior looks stunning
Doing a Polo review in Burberry polo. Wow! what a great combo.
Drum brakes??
Is the Polo coming to the U.S.? Mat Watson for president!
NO
Nappies are available though however the US for when you pee over this Polo!
For 🇺🇸 is coming the new generation of LADA from Rusia with love😂😂
Probably not... they prefer yacht cars and if have more money (and gas prices continuing low) they buy big cars with V8 petrol engines...
A lot of dumb American stereotypes here. Most people buy crossovers (small SUVs/tall cars) with V6 engines or smaller as gas isn't *that* cheap over here.
Can’t wait to upgrade my current Polo...waiting for this model to be available in Malaysia
Friend has an auto DSG /double clutch, on/off engine technology. Drove ii a few times. Couldn't wait to get back into my manual, diesel Mazda 3.

There was also Full-LED on the 6C facelift tho!
Gets Very expensive very quickly on the configurator...may as well buy a Golf
Yeah IAM looking a t a 1 year old golf or a couple months old polo id get the golf especially now we know that the mk8 isn't much of an upgrade
this polo is amazing... really waiting for it to arrive in India
s DC7 its a polo...not a golf

Thanks for the great review. Can you please do a comparison video between polo 2018 and fiesta 2018? I'm thinking of choosing one of those.
Cheers!
