Volkswagen Polo from £99 Per Month in the UK

The British division of Volkswagen announced today a special offer aimed at making potential customers turn their attention towards the Polo model, which follows the Tango-themed television advertisement for the ‘Tough but beautiful’ Polo supermini.

From now until March 31, all Polos, apart from GTI and BlueMotion models, are available with £500 off, meaning the entry-level Polo S 1.2-litre 60 PS three-door model costs just £9,495.

Together with Volkswagen Finance’s popular Solutions PCP package, this means monthly payments of £99 per month – including up to three years’ free servicing (7.9 per cent representative APR).

This offer applies to all Polo models purchased from stock through a Volkswagen UK Retailer and registered before 31 March. If a customer chooses an alternative funding method, the free servicing package is available for £299.

The Polo BlueMotion is also exempted from the London Congestion Charge, as it emits just 91 g/km of CO2. The new rules of the Congestion Charge state that vehicles emitting less than 100 grams of CO2 per km no longer have to pay the GBP10 daily charge to enter the area.

The latest and fifth generation Polo was launched in October 2009. Shortly after, it was named European Car of the Year 2010 and, in April, gained the accolade of World Car of the Year 2010. Polo had to battle the other top three contenders for 2010 World Car of the Year title, namely the Mercedes-Benz E-Class and the Toyota Prius.

Volkswagen UK sold 45,282 Polos last year, making 2010 the car’s best-selling year since 2003.
