Here are the first pictures of the Volkswagen Polo facelift. Don’t worry if you don’t see many or any changes at all, as there really isn’t that much to notice here. The modified lower front intakes are the only visible difference to the current model, with a slimmer but wider black portion cut into the bumper.
More changes may be abound come the full reveal as the front bumper looks like a makeshift unit with the new intake grafted onto it. Expect the headlights and grille to be revised to mirror those of the newer Golf Mk7 in detail, but major work on the sheetmetal is unlikely.
Looking at the car’s condition however, it does look like the mule is undergoing some form of a long distance durability test programme. There may be more significant changes that we can’t yet see, probably in the drivetrain department.
The rest of the car is identical to the Polo that we’re very familiar with. Volkswagen seems to be giving its little hatchback a very mild update, though that’s not unheard of before. It’s lucky to be given a mid-life update at all, as the Golf Mk5 and Mk6 lived through their life cycles without receiving a single facelift.

No need all this facelift. Sort your infamous scandalous DSG first. So many Malaysians with VW cars are regretting buying their car because the DSG keep on breaking down not just once or twice but every few months once. VW is know as the biggest revenue earner for the Tow Truck Association of Malaysia. Pity people, buy German thinking its problem free but end up non stop headache and continuous visits to the service centre to repair the DSG
At least VW must try to put its newest lineup of engines…. And new tech as well… Dont just do visual facelift only…
Viva-ish
Nothing interesting about the Polo. It looks like. A design from the 80’s. A friend changed from RAV4 to a Golf GTI and regret it due to high maintenance cost and problem with gearbox. Japanese made cars are still the most reliable and cost effective.
