Engine power and kerb weight are registration-weighted averages of the Volkswagen Polo VI registered in the EU/EEA in 2025 (43,628 cars), engine power from 17 countries, kerb weight from 18 countries. Source: EEA COâ‚‚ monitoring (CC BY 4.0).
Engine power is the type-approved engine power (EEA field Ep). For hybrids and plug-in hybrids it is the power of the combustion engine, not the system power, and for electric cars it can differ from the peak power the manufacturer advertises.

Power is the type-approved engine power (EEA field Ep). For hybrids and plug-in hybrids it is the combustion engine, not the system output; for electric cars it can differ from the peak power in the maker’s marketing.
