About the Volkswagen Polo Sedan

The Volkswagen Polo Sedan is a practical and affordable compact saloon offering VW quality with a traditional three-box shape.

The Polo Sedan fills the gap between the Polo Hatch and the Vento/Jetta in Volkswagen's SA lineup. It appeals to buyers who prefer the traditional three-box sedan body style over a hatchback, offering a larger separate boot. Powered by 1.0 and 1.6-litre petrol engines with both manual and automatic options, it competes with the Toyota Corolla Quest and Honda Amaze.
