Sixth‑Generation Unveiling
The Polo AW was officially unveiled on 16 June 2017, marking the start of the model’s newest era. Production began shortly after, on 17 July 2017, at Volkswagen’s Pamplona plant.
A Legacy Since 1975
The Polo’s history stretches back to 1975, with successive generations (Mk1 through Mk5) spanning from 1975 to 2017. The AW model therefore represents the continuation of a vehicle line that has been in production for over 40 years.
Generation Transition
The sixth‑generation AW succeeded the Mk5 Polo, which was produced from 2009 until 2017. This transition kept the Polo’s presence strong in the sub‑compact segment while introducing updated design and technology.
