The sixth-generation Volkswagen Polo will reportedly make its market debut by June 2017. The message was made clear in a report by Wards Auto, which focused on the possibility of Volkswagen’s Landaben plant in Spain adding a second model to its production lines.
Currently, Volkswagen’s Spanish facility only produces the compact Polo, delivering up to 1,400 units a week. In any case, production for the next-gen Polo is expected to be underway not to long from now, with Volkswagen already investing a total of 900 million euros (RM4.12 billion) in the plant for this reason.
The next-gen Polo is expected to adopt the Volkswagen Group’s smallest modular platform, known as the MQB A0. For styling, several reports suggest that the new Polo will be inspired by the brand’s latest concept models, one such example being the new T-Cross Breeze. Pictured in this story are design renders by graphic artist Theophilus Chin, showcasing what he believes the next-gen Polo could look like based on the new Passat B8’s design.
There’s isn’t much else we can tell you about the new Polo just yet, but it wouldn’t surprise us to see a string of three- and four-cylinder turbocharged petrol and diesel engines featured. Similar to what’s available now, transmission options may also include a six-speed torque converter auto, a dual-clutch DSG unit and even a five-speed manual.
Beyond this, other reports claim that all-electric and plug-in hybrid variants of the Polo are likely to be made — coinciding with Volkswagen’s ambitions to introduce a horde of electrified vehicles in the near future.

Awesome new Polo! hope it comes together with free towing too.
Heard is TSI this time. Instead of NA
Do you know sales are so bad that the recent sales VGM had, they were selling brand new 2014 cars in 2016. Such a thing is never ever heard in the car industry. Cars are only sold for the preceding year ie like in 2016, you clear stock for 2015 cars.
Malaysians are so shocked that VGM still has brand new 2014 stock in the yard.
I think in 2020, they will be selling 2016 cars.
That’s not true actually. Two year old brand new cars of the previous generation S-Class were also on sale at a big discount, like the one the Penang state government bought.
yes, but Mercedes got no DSG scandal. That S class may have been showroom car.
VW got so many scandals. Nobody is buying VW anymore.
Very simple, just give 10yrs warranty under VW Msia.
Most auto gave 5yrs unlimitted warranty nowadays, VW still having 2yrs +3yrs insurance warranty under T&C.
Why so surprise? Back in 2014, Proton was selling 2012 stock at RM 10k discount during Raya also. And people still buy, they think those car is more “reliable” after 2 years UV test under the sun.
You guys don’t know that all your negative comments are making the car sell even better in the market. VW sales has actually gone up in Feb and March this year even before they started doing their latest promotion to clear their 2104-2015 stocks.
Also, Peugeot, Mercedes and especially Ford also did the same by clearing of their 2014-2015 stocks. Ford actually selling worse than VW and Peugeot now because of Sime Darby’s unreliability. Only Ford vehicle that is selling is the Ford Ranger. Even Ford Fiesta sales gone down badly. Ford Focus doesnt even sell quarter of its targeted sales in Malaysia. Thats very bad! Second worse seller is Peugeot, because people fed up already with Naza promises and very very expensive Peugeot parts and service prices. Also have to wait a long time for spares.
In thats sense, VW actually quite successful with their strategy of reverse psychology.
Negative comments here nothing to do to hinder sales. It is facts from upset owners trying to educate others to stay away from problems
Due also nevermind. As no one is buying VW anymore. Not even their existing owner. All got haunted by VGM.
Please if this is teh next gen polo, better sack all the designers. It is worth than nasi lemak company design! All the same face and rear like Golf!
U think this is Kimchi Sushi ke? Plastic surgery everytime.
Plastic what? You want big flabby bumper go and buy 1.3 Nissan Sunny lor.
Agree, boring repetitive design. Untl 2070 oso design like this.
nice looking polo!, great job VW, many new polo / jetta / passat / golf on the road today. it is getting common like you see vios on the rod nowadays.
DSG?..nahh most of the comments here are the same person that repeatedly says the same things using the same nickname..my fren story lah..my uncle story lah..haha..people are not stupid nowadays.
i own polo tsi, and in the process to purchase a golf GTi..lovely cars..problem? yes..just a minor..DSG? not a problem for the past 4 years.
DSG issue just an exegerated issue..
Halo alex..pls check with paul tan whether all the negative comments are the same person??
How can a tree leaves moving without the wind??
No need to check. Just go and see vw FB and you can read it all till sleep!
Give me free also i dont want.
Not trying to side nor criticise any auto maker. I would say no auto maker dare to say their cars are flawless. Sometime it depends on luck too. On the DSG issue, how many actually experienced that. We heard alot of it but what is the fall out in ppm level? What is the root cause from technical point of view? What are the odd of having a faulty gear box? A car is only as good as how the driver drive and maintain it. Maybe we should all be driving back pure mechanical cars if the electronics portion that suppose to improve driving experience is the culprit that leads to all complaints.
