The Volkswagen Lupo (Typ 6X) was a city car produced by Volkswagen from 1998 to 2005. Sharing similarities with the SEAT Arosa, both models were derived from the Volkswagen Polo Mk3 platform, differing mainly in styling and equipment. The name “Lupo” is of Latin origin, meaning wolf, and pays homage to the car’s birthplace in Wolfsburg.

Launched in October 1998, the Lupo was designed to address a void in Volkswagen’s lineup created by the growing dimensions and weight of the Polo. Positioned as a compact urban vehicle, it catered to drivers seeking a smaller, more agile alternative for city driving.

The Lupo’s compact dimensions and efficient design made it popular
