Polo "Wörthersee 09"

A one-off Polo concept car was shown at the Wörthersee GTI meeting in May 2009. Considered as a preview of a future Polo GTI model, the car featured Flash Red paint with black rally stripes, 18-inch "Budapest" wheels, high gloss black interior and aluminum tread plates.[3]

Volkswagen Vento (sedan version)

A sedan version of Polo was launched in India on 6 July 2010[4] by hanging the car from the side of a hotel in New Delhi.[5][6] It has a length of about 4.4m and has several engine options which are based on petrol and diesel. It is intended to compete with the Honda City which is very popular in India. Special features have been presented in the top variant such as a back control for front passenger seat among others.

North American release

The North American market will finally see the Polo in its vehicle lineup with the release of the fifth generation version of the vehicle. Body styles will likely be a 4-door sedan and 5-door hatchback. In 2012 production of the North American Polo sedan will commence at Volkswagen's production facility in Puebla, Mexico, alongside the sixth generation Jetta/NCS.[7]
