2018 VW Polo vs 2017 VW Polo - Side-by-side comparison

It's true, there's a new Polo in town but that doesn't mean that the model it replaces has vanished off of showroom floors. In fact, walking into a Volkswagen showroom now will likely raise the question, which one should you buy, and is the 2018 model worth the price premium?

In this video we lined up a 2018 VW Polo Highline and a 2017 Polo TSI Comfortline for a detailed comparison. With the two cars side-by-side, it becomes immediately apparent how much the new model has changed.

We take a detailed look at the two interiors, how much the boot space and back seats have grown, which wheels are available and, importantly, how much the price has changed for this, the sixth-generation Polo.

Most scientific boot measurement in the history of car reviews

[jaymaster]

Ciro your boot space measuring technique is very South African lol, I approve

[simeonkriel]

The boot measurement 😂😂😂, best presenter ever !

[romeomatthew]

your way of measuring the boot reminds me of Mr Bean 😂

[lylejoshua]

It's not fair to compare the trend line polo with the high line polo

The thing is, I can get a brand new old Polo GTI, equipped with literally anything that the old Polo offers (including LED lights, panorama roof, full park assistant, etc.) for around 17.000€.
A new Polo GTI fully doesn't start under 23.000€ and is basically empty. Fully equipped it goes up to 30.000€....thats insane.

[amitgore]

sir, i liked the way you compared boot space with hands. :)

[Nickster]

This has been helpful, I'm in the process of buying and I'm definitely considering the new Polo.

Another great review C. When you did the measurement - your technique is the same as mine. (From Australia).

[juan-paulbotes]

Funny how you compare the ENTRY level TRENDLINE with the RANGE TOPPER(excluding the GTI) HIGHLINE model.

[All.Gravy]

Awesome review. And giving the prices helps when it comes to shopping around

This video just popped up in my youtube recommended video's. I'm actually expecting my brand new VW Polo 1.0 TSI, Highline in the color orange to arrive at my door within the next hour!

I never really liked the interior of the old polo. I had a VW Golf V and it's build quality just felt so much better despite the age. I think the new one is a huge improvement.

[OtsileM]

The old arms length measurement technique, spot on.

[yrien]

cant wait for my polo coming next week

[Memories-_]

I love these side by side comparisons no one else does this on YouTube

[nawanekhomo]

That was a great sales pitch on behalf of VWSA

Nice video and nice car. You need a pop filter for your microphone on the voice-overs though. The "P"-sounds have some popping.

[rahulparutube]

Really liked the video. I love south Africa.

[danI]

I really like the new model.. and honestly, in Germany at least, there are quite a few around and they do look quite good. Just yesterday I saw a black one, probably a highline with the LEDs and nice 17“ or 18“ wheels, that thing is rather sexy :D for a compact car at least

Awesome.. When it's releasing in India?? Any idea. Waiting..
