Volkswagen introduced the facelifted version of the Polo's fifth generation in 2014, four years after the model's introduction, and offered it with either three or five doors.
Elected as the "2010 Car of the Year" in Europe, the car convinced the jury that it was the right vehicle at the right time. After 14 million units sold worldwide by its predecessors, it was a well-deserved award. Also, the refreshed version introduced new Euro 6 engines for the European market.
Along with the refreshed version, the five-door Polo received a new front fascia that resembled the one featured on its sportier sibling, the Scirocco. The front bumper received a new design with a wider grille on the apron and a lip spoiler underneath. That was made to improve pedestrian protection but also served as an aerodynamic enhancement. From its profile, its four doors allowed an easier ingress and egress to the car than its three-door sibling, but it lost the sporty look. A third side window was added between the rear doors and the D-pillars.
Inside, the whole range received a touch-screen infotainment system installed on the center stack. It was a new idea for the small segment where the car was placed. The access to the five passengers was easy thanks to the four side doors. There was a decent room inside, even for three passengers on the bench seat. The split-folding bench's seatback was standard.
The car was fitted with a wide choice of engines, both diesel and gasoline-powered units. For some versions, the standard transmission was a 5-speed manual, while for others was a 6-speed manual. A DSG gearbox was on the options list for both diesel and gasoline units.
