12 generations
Polo was presented in 1975 as a small car, largely in the spirit of the then new Golf, sporting a light weight build with transverse engine and front wheel-drive. Through the years, Polo has been sold as a hatchback, as well as in saloon and estate versions. The fifth generation was launced in 2008, and 2015, 12 million cars had been produced worldwide. Many of the other cars from the Volkswagen Group is produced on the same platform as Polo, such as SEAT Ibiza and Skoda Fabia.
