50th anniversary VW Polo


Volkswagen has introduced a special version of the Polo to mark five decades since the model was introduced, writes Brian Byrne. The '50'-badged version includes 16-inch wheels with an option of 17-inch, and dark rear windows. 

Inside, it features ‘Edition 50’ lettering on the front sills, and ‘50’ on the steering wheel and dashboard. Standard items include chrome-look pedals, black headliner, ambient lighting, a chrome package, heated front sports seats, leather steering wheel, rear view camera, Park & Comfort assist, Discover Media infotainment, and driving profile selection. 

An optional Plus package adds a panoramic sunroof, two-zone climate control, and Keyless Access. The new Polo editions are available with three powertrains, with outputs between 68hp and 116hp, and manual and dual-clutch auto transmissions.

The car is available for pre-order in Germany for €28,000.
