The VW Polo Vivo’s fuel consumption varies by engine and model. According to official Volkswagen specifications, the fuel consumption for the latest Polo Vivo range (in litres per 100 km) is as follows[1]:
- 1.4 55kW Trendline: 5.7 L/100km (combined)
- 1.4 63kW Comfortline: 5.9 L/100km (combined)
- 1.6 77kW Comfortline Tiptronic®: 6.1 L/100km (combined)
- 1.6 77kW Highline: 6.2 L/100km (combined)
- 1.0 81kW TSI GT: 4.8 L/100km (combined)
The urban (city) fuel consumption ranges from 5.5 L/100km for the 1.0 TSI GT up to 8.5 L/100km for the 1.6 Highline. The extra-urban (highway) figures are more economical, from 4.0 L/100km (1.0 TSI GT) to 4.9 L/100km (1.6 Comfortline Tiptronic®)[1].
Real-world road tests often report slightly higher consumption than the official claims. For example, a review of the 1.6 Style recorded a real-world average of 6.8 L/100km compared to Volkswagen’s claimed 6.2 L/100km[7].
The Polo Vivo’s fuel tank is 45 litres, and depending on driving style and road conditions, owners report a practical range of around 750-820 km per tank[1][2].
