Volkswagen has officially discontinued production of its most popular hatchback Polo in India after nearly 12 years of production. Volkswagen India officially made this statement in a letter shared on their social media handles on April 7, 2022. This elicited a wave of emotions in those who owned one, recalling the times when they purchased their car. Polo was first introduced to the Indian market at the 2010 Auto Expo and production began in 2009 at the Chakan plant in Pune. Since then, Polo has been one of Volkswagen's most successful vehicles in India. Aside from that, Volkswagen India has launched a special edition of its hatchback Polo to commemorate the model's 12th year in the country.
The Polo Legend edition starts at Rs 10.25 lakh (ex-showroom).
Volkswagen Polo was the first locally manufactured model at the brand's Chakan plant in Pune, with production beginning in 2009 and the model entering the market in 2010.
"The Volkswagen Polo has been the brand's much-loved product that deserves a grand celebration," says the company, which has already sold over 3 lakh units in the country.The new Volkswagen Polo Legend Edition is powered by the same 1.0-litre TSI engine as its other variants. It has a maximum power output of 113 hp and a peak torque of 175 Nm. The engine, however, is only available with a 6-speed torque-converter automatic transmission. The Volkswagen Polo Legend Edition commemorates the iconic car's 12-year journey in India. It's also worth noting that only 700 units of this special farewell edition will be made. Volkswagen recently announced that it would focus on products made in India, such as the Taigun SUV and the upcoming Virtus sedan. In India, no direct replacement for the Polo hatchback is planned, though the carmaker may introduce the fully imported new-generation Polo GTI.
