polo.gif (24415 bytes) Genetically engineered to be a true people's car, the Polo Classic is packed with under-the-skin German engineering, bursting with driveability and crammed with an impressive list of special features. It's a compact car that's big where it matters: big on safety, comfort and quality, big on performance and fuel economy. And especially big on value. A car whose single biggest innovation is the sum of all its parts. The new Polo Classic is really something.
Introducing something new. Something built to uncompromising standards. Something that's pure, concentrated Volkswagen. Introducing the new Polo Classic.

POLO PLAYA
The New Polo Playa.  It's really something!

Introducing the latest addition from Volkswagen, the Polo Playa.  It's the compact car that isn't, the big-hearted hatch with features to match.  Packed with legendary under-the-skin German engineering and the very latest technology that Europe has to offer, it's something altogether special

Perfectly sized.   Small where it matters but big where it counts, the Polo Playa looks like a Volkswagen should:  solid, sturdy and charming.  But with a little extra eagerness, a healthy measure of "can do".  Like all Volkwswagens, the Polo Playa is built around people.  People of all shapes and sizes.  And it's filled with more features than you'd expect.  More class-leading performance and roadholding.  Oodles of style, zest and driveability.  And something more besides.  Value for money.
