The fifth generation of the Volkswagen Polo was launched in 2009, and five years later, it received a facelift to refresh its image on the market.

The fifth generation of the Polo was released in 2009 at the Geneva Motor Show, and it was just one inch shorter than the second generation of the Volkswagen Golf.

In 2005, all the European carmakers had to switch to Euro 4 emission standards, and Volkswagen improved its entire lineup, including the three-door Polo.

In 2001, Volkswagen introduced the fourth generation of its small-sized contender, the Polo. And it wasn't that small anymore.

Volkswagen introduced a final facelift for the third generation of its small-sized vehicle Polo in 1999, and it was more than just minor changes to the original 1994 vehicle.

The Polo nameplate had been around ever since 1975 and was sold worldwide in a hatchback, sedan or estate version.

Volkswagen introduced a facelift for the second generation of the Polo in 1990, and besides the three-door hatchback and the sedan, it offered a sportier-looking version named Polo Coupe.

Just one month after the production of the Polo 1 ended, the Polo 2 was released to the public. It featured a new design, that combined the hatchback with a station wagon. But that wasn't all.

Four years after the Golf's first-generation launch, Volkswagen introduced a smaller sibling for it, the Polo.
