By 2004, the customers were already focused on the SUV and crossover segment, and Volkswagen tried to get more attention from them when it introduced the Polo Fun.

Volkswagen was one of the first European carmakers that offered a proper crossover vehicle with the Golf II Cross Country back in the '80s. In 2002, it launched the first generation of the Touareg, and it hit the jackpot. But for the lower-priced segments, it didn't have anything to offer. Thus, it introduced a lifted version for its B-segment vehicle, the five-door Polo.

The car's exterior kept the main body panels from the Polo's fourth generation, with its two round headlights at the front and the black grille. Its bumper, on the other hand, was different. It sported a different color on the lower side and an aluminum-like underbody shield. It was made from plastic, but it protected the engine bay and the gearbox from grass and leaves. The carmaker added plastic moldings along with the bodywork on the sides, protecting it from minor scratches. They were more efficient in the parking lot than in the woods. Volkswagen tried to conceal the increased ground clearance with plastic molds around the wheel-arches. Last but not least, the Polo Fun came fitted with standard roof rails.

Under the hood, Volkswagen installed a choice of five engines ranging between 75 hp and 100 hp, three gasoline, and two turbo-diesel. Unlike the Golf Country, the Polo Fun was only front-wheel-drive.
