Volkswagen’s flagship in the supermini segment enjoyed a successful year for awards in 2019, winning trophies like ‘Small Car of the Year’ from What Car?, Company Car Today’s ‘Supermini of the Year’ prize, ‘Safe Car of the Year’ at the First Car Awards and ‘Small Car of the Year’ from the UK Car of the Year panel. The German manufacturer hopes to double this success this year.
The Polo is well-known in its segment, it offers a lot for its compact size and it is not a surprise to win so many trophies. It is not the first time for the small city model to triumph in the category. The new Match trim replaces SE with a considerable pack of additional equipment, and it will probably make the Polo even better.
