Event "50 years of Polo"

Content Creator Days: 50 years of Polo

For millions of people, it was and is their very first car: the Polo –compact, timeless and classless. One for all. When the Polo was launched on the market in 1975, it was the third Volkswagen of a new era after the Passat (1973) and the Golf (1974). Like them, it also became a world bestseller. The 50 years of the Polo exhibition shows the many facets of the model –perfected over five decades and producing many derivatives.

The specified fuel consumption and emission data does not refer to a single vehicle and is not part of the offer but is only intended for comparison between different types of vehicles. Additional equipment and accessories (additional components, tyre formats, etc.) can alter relevant vehicle parameters such as weight, rolling resistance and aerodynamics, affecting the vehicle's fuel consumption, power consumption, CO2 emissions and driving performance values in addition to weather and traffic conditions and individual driving behavior.

Further information on official fuel consumption data and official specific CO2 emissions for new passenger cars can be found in the "Guide to fuel economy, CO2 emissions and power consumption for new passenger car models", which is available free of charge from all sales dealerships and from DAT Deutsche Automobil Treuhand GmbH, Hellmuth-Hirth-Str. 1, D-73760 Ostfildern, Germany and at www.dat.de/co2.
