Volkswagen Polo is a supermini car produced by the German manufacturer Volkswagen since 1975. It is sold in Europe and other markets worldwide in hatchback, sedan and estate variants.The Polo has been produced in five generations with intermittent facelifts. Related Volkswagen Group models include the Škoda Fabia, SEAT Ibiza and Audi A1.
The first Polos were hatchbacks, with the saloon being marketed as the Volkswagen Derby.
On the arrival of the Mark II model, the saloon was renamed the Volkswagen Polo Classic and the "conventional"-styled hatchback(with a sloping tailgate) was renamed as a coupé, the Volkswagen Polo Coupé. Unusually, the third(and new) body that was actually marketed as the Volkswagen Polo Hatchback was closer in concept to a small estate, albeit with the exact same wheelbase and floor pan as the coupé instead of the(longer) saloon. This latter version, also known as the squareback(in the original German brochures, "steilheck", literally "steep tail") amongst other nicknames was the most popular in virtually every country where the Polo was sold. Despite the differences in silhouette and target market segment, all body types were 2- or 3-door only.
From the Mark III onwards, the range was more straightforwardly conventional, including unambiguous "saloon", "hatchback" and "estate" models, with only the hatchback offering both 5-door and slightly shorter 3-door models(both still with quite vertical tailgates, the "coupé" variation having been retired), the others being 4/5-door only and increasing in length from hatch to saloon to estate.
I would highly recommend to buy this car as it has been successful all over India.
