Volkswagen Polo production to cease after 12 years in India: Report | Automotive News

Volkswagen is about to stop producing the Polo, which has been available in India for almost 12 years. Volkswagen has been manufacturing the premium sedan in Chakan, Maharashtra since 2010 and it is VW’s first model to be manufactured locally.
According to the source, Polo and Vento will cease production in the second quarter of 2022 as Vento sales will continue until May, while Polo reservations will be stopped in June. Throughout its life, the VW Polo received several small updates designed to stay relevant and used a variety of engines.
Despite the Polo being nearing its end in India at the moment, it seems plausible that a replacement based on the MQB-A0-IN platform is in the works. According to reports, Volkswagen may bring the sixth-generation Polo to India, although it may require major modifications to comply with India’s sub-4m tax rules.
