The build quality of the Polo is worth mentioning here and we expect the 2020 VW Polo to age really well with time.

Interiors

Just like other VW cars, the new Polo gets a well built and elegant looking dashboard that gets a practical layout. While the Polo may not have modern features such as push-button start, it still gets all the necessary features and other connectivity features such as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
