After more than 14 million units sold around the world, Polo was one of the most important cars in the small-segment. The sixth generation of that model was introduced in 2017.
Volkswagen Polo started its career as a re-badged Audi 50, but while the 50 was deleted from the premium car-maker, the Polo continued its journey. The sixth-generation was built on the MQB A0 platform, which was used for other vehicles from the Volkswagen Group as well.
From the outside, the differences between the sixth and the fifth generation were important. For starters, the headlights were swept-back on the front fenders in an angular ending, while its predecessor featured a straight line in the back. But the biggest change was the drop of the three-door version. It is unusual, since the first Polo, in 1975, was offered exclusively with 3 doors.
Inside, the cabin was roomier due to a longer wheelbase by almost 10 cm (4”). That improvement gave offered more legroom for the rear passengers. The car length was bigger with about the same value as well. The dashboard featured an advanced design, with a flat panel where the infotainment display was installed. That part of the dashboard was painted in the exterior's car color (available as an option). The center stack featured only the air-vents and the climate control buttons. The rear split-folding bench was good to transport three passengers, but not for long distances.
Under the hood, the sixth Polo featured a choice of diesel and gasoline units. Unlike its predecessors, it only had two of the former, but four of the latter. It was fitted with either a 5- or 6-speed manual, or with a 7-speed automatic transmission (dual-clutch).
