The Volkswagen Polo has been named as the Best Supermini of 2019 by the UK Car of the Year judges.
The judging panel, which is made up of some of the UK’s most recognised motoring journalists, found the German compact to be the stand-out option in the sector – highlighting its ‘premium feel’ and ‘rewarding driving experience’.
After winning this prize, the Polo is now entered into the final pool of vehicles that are in consideration for the overall UK Car of the Year award – with the winning cars from each segment going up against each other for the top prize.
Motoring writer Guy Bird said: “The Polo is a supermini that’s been hard to fault for nearly 40 years. The latest model continues the fine tradition of small car quality that generations of owners certainly appreciate and quietly love.”
Volkswagen UK’s product manager for the Polo, Lisa Hartley, said: “The Polo is on a roll – it’s warmly received by customers, is among the UK’s top ten best-sellers for 2019 alongside the Golf, and is on a winning streak with critics.

“It’s encouraging to see the Polo continue to get much-deserved recognition from the motoring media; the title of Best Supermini 2019 acknowledges the long list of talents that UK customers clearly appreciate.”
Prices for the Polo start from £14,330, with the top-end Polo GTI Plus starting from £23,100.
