History
As of 2018, there have been six separate generations of the Polo, usually identified by a "Series" or "Mark" number.[1]
Some generations were facelifted midway through production, with the updated versions known unofficially by an
addition of the letter F to the mark number, e.g. Mark IIF. Some press and enthusiasts consider the facelifts to be
separate models and hence have used the unofficial designations Polo Mark 1 to Mark 7 for previous generations.[2]
Each model of Polo is also identified by a two or three character Volkswagen Group Typ number. Official VW Polo
history describes Mark I to Mark IV using either Roman numerals[1] or Arabic numerals, with facelifted variants
known as "Phase II" models.[3]
The body style has been varied through the life of the car, originally as a hatchback which derived from the Audi 50.[2]
A saloon version was marketed as the Volkswagen Derby.
Volkswagen vehicles built off different platforms have carried the Polo name plate. For example, the Volkswagen
Polo Playa hatchback sold in Southern Africa in the late 1990s was a rebadged SEAT Ibiza which has a different body
shell from the Mark III Polo sold in Europe at the same time. The current saloon is only available in China, Latin
America and South Africa and other Southern Africa countries.
Starting in 1982, Volkswagen sold the Polo in Japan initially through an agreement with Japanese dealership Yanase
that specializes in European and North American vehicles. Of all Volkswagens imported into Japan, only the Polo and
the Golf, until 1997, complied with Japanese Government dimension regulations until the introduction of the VW Up!
in 2012.
The Mark II and IIF were available as supercharged G40 models. The GT G40 with its 1.3 litre 85 kW (114 hp) could
reach 100 km/h (62 mph) in 8.1 seconds from standstill and had a maximum speed of 196 km/h (122 mph). It was
used by Volkswagen to set a number of world endurance speed records, such as the 1.3 litre class records for speed
over 24 hours and speed over a distance of 5,000 km (3,100 mi).
The fastest version of the Mark III on the United Kingdom market was the 17-valve h 74 kW (100 PS) model. A 88 kW
(120 PS) Polo GTI model was also produced, but only in a limited edition in Germany, and this was the first time the
GTI label had been used for a Polo. A GTI version of the Mark IIIF Polo, with a 92 kW (123 hp) 1.6 litre petrol engine
was also produced.
In 2004 Volkswagen Individual, a specialist division of Volkswagen, produced a limited number of (Mark IV Polo)
Club Sports with a 1.8T 132 kW (177 hp) engine. Available only in Germany, this was based on the one make racing
series Polo Cup Racer hatchback. The Club Sport came with a roll cage inside the vehicle and Recaro racing seats as
standard.

A GTI version of the Polo Mark IVF was launched in 2006. This features styling similar to that of the contemporary
Golf GTI and a turbocharged 20 valve 110 kW (150 bhp) 1.8 litre petrol engine. It has a 0–100 km/h time of 8.2
seconds and a top speed of 216 km/h (134 mph).
Volkswagen Individual have also engineered an even faster Polo called the Polo GTI Cup Edition. Available with the
same 1.8T engine, albeit with 130 kW (180 bhp), its claimed 0–100 km/h is 7.5 seconds and it has a claimed top speed
of 225 km/h (140 mph).
Volkswagen Racing in South Africa rallied a four wheel drive Mark IVF Polo which shared some components with its
sister World Rally Championship (WRC) Škoda Fabia; the S2000 has a 2.0 Litre 191 kW (256 hp) (260 bhp) engine.
Mark IV Polos have been entered into the Junior World Rally Championship (JWRC).
There have been a number of one make race series for the Polo, starting with the G40 Cup for Mark II and Mark IIF
G40 versions. The current Polo Cup championship for 78 kW (105 bhp) cars is a support race at rounds of the
Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters. Comfort line 1.2 CC engine 2014 Volkswagen Launched the new face lifted polo

The first Polo was effectively a rebadged version of the Audi 50 hatchback launched in August 1974.[2] The Audi 50 was
discontinued in 1978 as Audi concentrated on larger luxury models. The Mark I and Mark II versions of the Polo were
then standalone models in the Volkswagen range.
With the expansion of the Volkswagen Group: Audi (in the 1960s), SEAT (in the 1980s) and Škoda (in the 1990s) were
acquired, and the platform used for the Polo was shared with other models.
The Mark III Polo shared its platform with the SEAT Ibiza Mark II. The Ibiza was actually launched before the Polo
and shared essentially all its mechanicals, the dashboard and other interior components, although there were no body
panels shared between the two cars. The saloon and estate versions of the Mark III Polo were actually rebadged SEAT
Córdoba models and had no body panels in common with the Polo hatchback. The SEAT Inca and Volkswagen Caddy
vans were also based on this model. The Volkswagen Lupo and SEAT Arosa were also based on a shortened version of
the Mark III Polo platform.
The Mark IV Polo continued this trend of platform sharing, with the SEAT Ibiza Mark III and Škoda Fabia Marks I &
II both being developed on the same platform and featuring several of the same engines.
The 2009 Mark V Polo is developed on the newest platform PQ25, the same platform used in the SEAT Ibiza Mark IV
that was launched in 2008 and the Audi A1.
Body styles
The first Polos were hatchbacks, with the saloon being marketed as the Volkswagen Derby.
On the arrival of the Mark II model, the saloon was renamed the Volkswagen Polo Classic and the "conventional"-
styled hatchback (with a sloping tailgate) was renamed as a coupé, the Volkswagen Polo Coupé. Unusually, the
third (and new) body that was actually marketed as the Volkswagen Polo Hatchback was closer in concept to a
small estate, albeit with exactly the same wheelbase and floor pan as the coupé instead of the (longer) saloon. This
latter version, also known as the squareback (in the original German brochures, "steilheck", literally "steep tail")
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volkswagen_Polo 3/19
25/09/2018 Volkswagen Polo - Wikipedia
amongst other nicknames was the most popular in virtually every country
where the Polo was sold. Despite the differences in silhouette and target
market segment, all body types were 2- or 3-door only.
From the Mark III onwards, the range was more straightforwardly
conventional, including unambiguous "saloon", "hatchback" and "estate"
models, with only the hatchback offering both 5-door and slightly shorter
3-door models (both still with quite vertical tailgates, the "coupé" variation
having been retired), the others being 4/5-door only and increasing in
length from hatch to saloon to estate. Mark II Polo "Wagon" shape

Mechanical layout
The Polo is a compact car, with a traditional transversely mounted engine and front wheel drive. Mark I Polos only
came with four cylinder petrol engines, but for the Mark II, a diesel engine was offered for the first time, although only
in certain markets, others having to wait until the launch of the Mark III. The current range includes a variety of three
and four cylinder petrol and diesel engines.
Early versions used four speed manual transmission, whilst the current car is available with either six speed manual or
five speed automatic transmission. The suspension system on all models uses a fully independent MacPherson strut
front suspension, and a Twist-beam rear suspension. Most models use disc brakes at the front and rear drum brakes,
although some recent models have all round disc brakes.
Facelift (1979–1981)
The Mark I Polo and Derby were facelifted in 1979. Sometimes referred to
as the Mark IF, the facelifted model featured plastic bumpers, a different
front grille and a revised dashboard. The round headlights of the Derby
were replaced with square ones, bringing it into line with the similar (but
larger) Golf-based Jetta saloon.
The Mark II Polo was used extensively by Volkswagen to develop future innovations, for example supercharging with a
40 mm G-Lader supercharger in the GT G40 version. A 60 mm G-Lader would later be used on the larger and more
technically challenging G60 engine used in the Golf and Corrado.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volkswagen_Polo 5/19
25/09/2018 Volkswagen Polo - Wikipedia
A fuel efficient two-cylinder diesel was prototyped in the mid 1980s with a
G40 supercharger to overcome its small capacity, although this did not
make it to production. A high fuel efficiency model which did make
production was the petrol-engined Formel E (E for Economy), introduced
at the launch in 1981 with a 1.1 litre engine and from 1983 with a 1.3 litre
engine, overdrive top-gear ratio and an early stop-start ignition system
(called "SSA") which would cut the engine when idle for more than two
seconds to save fuel whilst temporarily stopped in traffic, and restart the
engine on moving the gear lever to the left in neutral.
Volkswagen Polo 1.05 (The
Netherlands) Similar systems were later used on the Volkswagen Golf Mk3 and various
systems from other car manufacturers.
It was a popular import in the UK, competing with the likes of the Peugeot 205, Fiat Uno and Nissan Micra. Its
reliability and build quality were among the best to be found on a small car of this era, and in the years since then it
went on to achieve a higher survival rate than many of its competitors.
Facelift (1990–1994)
The Mark II Facelift (referred
to as the Mark IIF, also
erroneously known as the
"Mark 3") was a far-reaching
facelift of the MkII, including a
re-skin of the bodywork,
launched in the autumn of
1990 Volkswagen Polo Mk2 facelift 1990. The new look saw square 1990 Volkswagen Polo Mk2 facelift
headlights, enlarged and rear
reshaped tail-lights, bigger
bumpers and a new interior (dashboard and door trim).[7] The three
different body styles were maintained. As well as the cosmetic differences, under the skin the car received
modifications to the chassis, suspension and brakes. The new Polo still had the 4 cylinder engines but now as well as
the carburettor 1.0 L, a fuel injection model was available with single-point injection and all engines came with a
catalytic converter as standard to combat tightening European emissions regulations. The saloon was only produced in
Spain, and production ceased in 1992 due to disappointing sales.

At the time of launch of the Mark IIF Polo, the highest performance model
was the Polo GT. This featured a multi-point fuel-injected version of the
1,272 cc engine, and a top speed of more than 100 mph. This produced
75 bhp (56 kW) and had a quoted top speed of 172 km/h (107 mph). 0–60
figures stood at 11.1 seconds. Defining features of the GT include red piping
in the bumpers, black overhead cloth, a rev counter and a red "GT" badge
in the grille. This was succeeded by the launch of the G40 in May 1991,
displacing the GT as the most powerful Polo at the time, with a top speed of
Interior
around 120 mph – rivalling the likes of the Ford Fiesta XR2i, Peugeot 205
GTI and Renault Clio 16v. The GT squareback was discontinued in 1992
due to poor sales in comparison with the coupé version.
Soon after the launch of the Mark IIF, another sporting model was added to the range — a new version of the
supercharged G40, now as a full production model in all markets rather than the limited batch of Mark II G40s. As
with the previous model, Volkswagen Motorsport modified G40 Cup cars were sold for racing in a one-make series,
the Volkswagen Polo G40 Cup. Features that define the G40 from other Polo models at the time (on top of the GT)
include a bee-sting aerial, BBS cross-spoke alloy wheels, Le Mans interior trim and front and rear red "G40" badges.

The saloon and estate versions of the Mark III, which debuted in 1995, were essentially rebadged version of the SEAT
Córdoba, which were launched early in 1994. They were referred to internally by Volkswagen as the Typ 6KV, and
shared body panels with the SEAT model rather than the Polo hatchback models, with some cosmetic alterations such
as new rear and front bumpers and headlights. The Volkswagen Caddy 9K van also shares the same platform and
front-end styling as the 6KV models.
The later Volkswagen Lupo and SEAT Arosa city cars were based on a shortened version of the Typ 6N platform, and
shared many components.
Both versions of the Mark III Polo were strong sellers in the United Kingdom and strong competitor for the likes of the
Fiat Punto and Nissan Micra. At the time of its launch, it was arguably the best small car on sale in Europe in terms of
build quality and "upmarket" feel, although its ride and handling was generally not considered to be as good as that of
the Ford Fiesta or Peugeot 206. The 1.4 TDI was considered the best in the range due to its reliability, fuel
consumption, and relative power, for a small engine.

Top Gear's 2005 survey rated the Polo as the third least satisfying supermini to own, with only the Fiat Punto and
Rover 25 receiving a worse rating. It fell behind most of its crucial rivals, namely the Ford Fiesta, Vauxhall Corsa,
Citroën C3 and Peugeot 206.
A saloon version, called Polo Classic, was produced in Brazil, South Africa and China, and exported to the rest of Latin
America and to Australia.
The Polo Classic for the Australian market is sourced from China, making it the first Chinese built car to be exported to
a right hand drive country.[10]

25/09/2018 Volkswagen Polo - Wikipedia
In comparison to the Polo Mk4, the Polo Vivo has a restyled front bumper
and grille, deleted scuff strips on the bumpers and sides of the car, and side
indicators relocated from the wing mirrors to the front fenders. This
restyling gives the Polo Vivo some of the elements of the design language
used in other contemporary VW models. It is manufactured at VW's
Uitenhage plant in South Africa, which sources 70%[13] of the Vivo parts
locally. This model was discontinued in 2018 and this marked the first
Volkswagen Polo Vivo
generation, replaced by a new model based on the Mark 5 Polo.
CrossPolo
A mini SUV-styled (but still two-wheel-drive) CrossPolo version of the
Mark IVF was also produced as a successor to the Polo Fun.
Polo BlueMotion
In 2006,[14] Volkswagen premiered its BlueMotion range with the
emphasis of lower emissions and high fuel economy. Volkswagen's first car Volkswagen CrossPolo (Sold as the

rolling resistant tyres. The end result is a car capable of producing less than
100g/km of CO2 with a stated fuel economy of 74.3 mpg (3.8 l/100 km) on a combined cycle. Volkswagen plans to use
the platform set by the Polo on expanding their BlueMotion ranges which include the Volkswagen Golf and the
Volkswagen Passat.

tyres. There were also standard extras such as Climatronic fully automatic
air conditioning, xenon headlights with a headlight washer system, a six-

with leather steering wheel, handbrake and gearstick, chrome inserts, and
driver aids such as ABS with EBD and an EDL (a system to aid traction).

Leather and satellite navigation were also optional extras. The Polo GTI
Mk3F however never got the new six-speed gearbox that was introduced in
the smaller Volkswagen Lupo GTI which shared the same engine. Sadly, many of the Polo GTI 5 speed gearboxes fail
due to faulty differential rivets and bearings which can only be rectified through a rebuild.
Mk4 Polo GT
With the introduction of the 2002 Polo, the GTI model was discontinued and was given no direct replacement. There
was however a GT model produced, featuring the same 1.9 TDI 96 kW (130 PS) engine found in the popular Škoda
Fabia vRS and SEAT Ibiza FR TDI as well as a six-speed gearbox. Although this model had a relatively slow 0–
100 km/h (62 mph) time of over 9 seconds, it did have impressive mid-range clout with torque figures of 310 Nm
(228 lb-ft). This gave the GT very impressive in-gear acceleration, meaning it could make light work of overtaking as
well as pull itself out of corners on twisting B roads with ease whilst returning fuel economy of over 50 mpg.
