Polo - Booklet History
"Small on the outside. Big on the inside." – the Polo offers Volkswagen customers a subcompact that does an exemplary job of realizing this claim. When the first generation drove into the limelight in 1975, the compression of the Volkswagen idea to an exterior length of only 351 centimetres was unique. But the Polo has not merely proven itself since then; rather, it has continued to mature, and, after five vehicle generations, can count on a base of loyal fans. Forty-two continuous years on a wide range of vehicle markets across the world and more than 16 million units sold speak for themselves. Before the sixth generation, based on the modular transverse matrix, is launched onto the market, it is worth taking a look at its history.
