Polo Wörthersee 09
A one-off Polo concept car was shown at the Wörthersee GTI meeting in May 2009. Considered as a preview of a future Polo GTI model, the car featured Flash Red paint with black rally stripes, 18-inch "Budapest" wheels, high gloss black interior and aluminum tread plates.[12]
Volkswagen Vento
A sedan version of the Polo Mark V was launched in India and Russia in 2010 as the Volkswagen Vento and Polo Sedan, increased wheelbase (2.552m) and ground clearance (168–170 mm), and has one petrol (1.6 L, 4-cylinder, 105 PS;[13] coupled with either 5-speed manual or 6-speed automatic gearbox) and one diesel engine (1.6 L, turbocharged 4-cylinder common rail, 105 PS; only 5-speed manual gearbox) options available. In 2014, a facelifted Vento was launched. It carries over the 1.6L petrol but has a new 1.5L diesel engine derived from the old 1.6L (Due to the excise benefits offered to engines 1.5L and below, in India). The Vento also gets a 7-Speed DSG (Direct-Shift Gearbox) automatic, with this new 1.5L engine. A 1.2L TSI (Turbo fuel stratified injection) engine is also available mated to the 7-Speed DSG, producing 103PS. It is intended to compete with the Honda City which is very popular in India.
The car is also manufactured and sold in Indonesia, Malaysia, Mongolia, Russia, South Africa and Thailand and Taiwan as Volkswagen Polo Sedan with only the petrol engine available for Malaysian and Russian and Taiwan(Badged as Vento) market.
The Volkswagen Polo Sedan is not produced in Brazil, Mexico, South Africa and China nor exported to the rest of Latin America and Australia because it is developed in India, but the Polo hatchback is produced in South Africa and exported to China and Australia.
A Mexican variant of the Vento was released in the 2014 model year, manufactuared in India by Volkswagen India.
