After 4o Years There's A Polo For Everyone
Polo celebrated its 40th anniversary in April 2015. The first generation Volkswagen Polo was launched in Europe in 1975. South Africa had to wait until October 1996 for its first Polo model, which was launched to plug the gap between Citi Golf and Golf.
Polo is one of the world's best-selling compact models with over 14 million units produced and sold worldwide to date. The Volkswagen factory in Uitenhage is one of the two plants in the Volkswagen production network that assembles the Polo hatch. In South Africa, the Polo is produced for both the local and export markets.
With the introduction of the Polo TSI BlueMotion,Volkswagen has succeeded in optimising the already economical TSI engine in the new Polo model range. The improvements to the engine management system have made it possible to reduce fuel consumption by a further 0.7 litres to 4.2 l/100 km when compared to the entry level 1.2 TSI 66 kW.
