Volkswagen Polo Mk5

The Volkswagen Polo Mk5 is the fifth generation of the Polo, a supermini-class car made by Volkswagen since 2009. It was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2009, and the three-door version at the Frankfurt Motor Show that September. A four-door long-wheelbase sedan has been built and sold outside Europe in several emerging markets since 2010 as the Vento or the Polo sedan, and a short-wheelbase sedan was sold in India between 2016 and 2020 as the Ameo. Production at the India plant stopped in 2022, with the last Polo sold in August 2022, and as of 2024 the Mk5 is still built in South Africa as the Polo Vivo. Internally the Typ 6R, it is based on the PQ25 platform shared with the SEAT Ibiza Mk4 and the Audi A1 Mk1 and was designed by a team led by Walter de Silva.
