Volkswagen SA has announced that both the Polo Vivo Hatch and Sedan models will receive air-conditioning as standard from September this year.
“The inclusion of air conditioning as standard throughout the range [bar the entry-level 2-door 55 kW Hatch model] should make the Polo Vivo proposition to South African motorists even more enticing,” says Mike Glendinning, Director Sales & Marketing, Volkswagen Group South Africa.
The Vivo is built at the Uitenhage plant in the Eastern Cape. Thanks to 70 per cent localisation of materials used in the production process, pricing is competitive and parts availability and affordability is optimum. Hundreds of jobs have been created and a vast supplier park in Uitenhage has also been established.
Based on the previous generation Polo, which has remained immensely popular with local consumers, the Polo Vivo is available as a three-door hatchback, five-door hatchback and four-door saloon. Simple touches to the styling have updated the previous generation Polo's looks, which are now more in line with the family design cues exhibited on the Scirocco, Golf 6 and new Polo.
The prices are as follows and include both VAT and CO2 Emissions tax.
