Background
The Volkswagen Polo is a small family car which was first produced in 1975 and is available in hatchback, coupe, saloon, estate, and small 4X4 form. The Polo has received a number of “facelift” revisions to keep it current a relevant.
The Polo has been produced in a number of separate generations, which is identifiable by a “Series” or “Mark” number. When the Mark II model arrived, the saloon became known as the ‘Volkswagen Polo Classic’ and the hatchback as the ‘Volkswagen Polo Coupe’. The hatchback version of the Polo was the most successful in almost every country the Polo was available.
Since the Mark III, which was first produced in 1994, the hatchback model hasn’t changed a great deal though there is always a choice between a 3 or 5 door hatchback, or a 4 door saloon. The new Mark V version is unmistakably a Polo, yet the facelifts and updates, whilst being discrete, have kept this car very current and desirable.
Volkswagen has also given the entire Polo range GTI status. The company plans to combine comfort and usability with the bonus of performance and handling, making it the most desirable Polo it can be. The company believes that the Polo will be capable of easily competing with other performance small family cars.
Overview
The Volkswagen Polo is a great car which has lasted the test of time, remaining one of the most popular cars in Britain. It has built this reputation for a reason and now with the GTI badge it is more desirable than ever.
