Volkswagen upgraded the sixth generation of its small-segment Polo in 2021 and improved mostly the car's interior, but didn't forget the exterior look or the drivetrain.

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 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.

Volkswagen launched the fifth generation of the Polo in 2009, trying to keep up with customers demands for this supermini segment, and in 2010 it added the crossover-ized version for it, the CrossPolo.

Volkswagen came in full force at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show with the fifth generation of the Polo range, available as a 3- or 5-door hatchback.

Along with the update for the fourth generation of the Polo, the German automaker introduced an unusual version of it, the CrossPolo, which tried to break into the crossover segment.

Volkswagen refreshed in 2005 the fourth generation of the Polo and brought important changes both on the inside and the outside of the car.

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.

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

Sometimes a facelift brings some minor changes that can be noticed only by advised experts. For some others, the modifications are so big that you can barely call that car a facelift. The facelifted version for the third generation of the Polo is a mix of two. From the outside, it is hard to tell the differences. But Volkswagen claimed that up to 70% of the car was new. First of all, the entire bodywork was galvanized, to give better protection against rust. Then there is the improved engine range and, in the end, some new engines.

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