VW Polo “Original” special edition launched in Germany; celebrates 40 years of the Polo

To the uninitiated, the VW Polo that we drive here has a lineage that goes back 40 years. To celebrate four decades of the Polo’s existence, Volkswagen has launched an “Original” special edition in Germany. Available to order in a limited run of 1,000 units, the VW Polo Original is offered exclusively with the five-door version. Prices start from €19,950 (approximately INR 13.9 lakh).

Over the standard Polo, the Original special edition can be characterized by LED headlights, a gloss black radiator grille, darkened taillights, “Portago” 16-inch alloy wheels, “Original” emblems on the front fenders, “Original” lettering on the door sill trims, and an exclusive Honey Orange Metallic paintwork.
