Volkswagen Polo News in Malaysia

The Honda Jazz was the undisputed king of the compact hatchback right up to the point that it was unfortunately discontinued in the Malaysian market. Its sales figures struck fear into the hatch of any other B-segment hatchback. Spanning 3 generations here, the final GK Jazz proved to be the most successful before it was replaced by the Honda City Hatchback. Jazz sales over the 3 generations totalled just over 100,000 units with 80,000 of those being locally assembled. That gave it a market shar

Despite looking like a Golf, the VW ID.2all concept car presented last month may not enter production (target 2025) as an electric successor to the iconic VW Golf, but a replacement for the VW Polo. In an interview with Automotive News Europe, VW CEO Thomas Schafer said the company has not come to a decision on the next generation Polo, as the European Union’s upcoming Euro 7 emission regulations will push prices too far up for the Polo to still have a business case. Ford for example, has alread

Hot on the heels of the Mk8 Golf GTI, comes its mini-me, the facelifted Mk6 VW Polo GTI (or, the Mk6.5?). A first peek of things to come? You bet!

It is very likely to retain a turbocharged

The Volkswagen Polo Mk6 has been around since 2017 and is ripe for a much-needed facelift.

For the first time in the Volkswagen Polo, LED headlights and taillights now come as

The Polo has always been seen as the smaller sibling of the Golf and the Mk6 shows that in terms of design. Leading up to the Mk6 facelif

Without further distractions, let’s pour out a little motor oil for these fallen models that were killed off in 2020.
