VW POLO






The Volkswagen Polo is a subcompact/supermini car manufactured by Volkswagen. It is sold mainly in Europe, but available in most export markets. It is generally available only as a hatchback but there have also been sedan (saloon) and wagon (estate) variants.
It was introduced in 1975 and there have been four generations of the car so far, each of which has received a midlife faceliftThere have been four separate versions of the Polo to date, designated MkI to MkIV. Each generation was facelifted mid way through its production, with the updated versions known by an addition of the letter F to the model number, e.g. Mk IIF.
The current sedan is only available in China, Latin America and South Africa and other Southern Africa countries, where sedans are more popular. The first generation's sedan version was called VW Derby or VW Polo Classic.
Volkwagen's products are not the same in all territories and a number of different models have been sold under the Polo name. For example the VW Polo Playa hatchback sold in Southern Africa in the late 1990s was a rebadged SEAT Ibiza which was quite different to the Mk III Polo sold in Europe at the same time.
