The Volkswagen Polo is a popular supermini car that has been produced by the German manufacturer Volkswagen since 1975. It falls under the B-segment category and is available in various body styles including hatchback, saloon, and estate variants. Throughout its production history, the Polo has seen six separate generations, each distinguished by a unique “Series” or “Mark” number.

Noteworthy aspects of the Volkswagen Polo include:

– **Long History**: The Polo has been in production since 1975, making it one of Volkswagen’s longstanding models.
– **Global Presence**: While primarily sold in Europe, the Polo is also available in markets worldwide.
– **Body Styles**: Buyers can choose from hatchback, saloon, and estate versions of the Polo.
– **Generational Development**: The Polo has undergone six generations so far, each featuring unique updates and improvements.
– **Facelifts and Variants**: Some generations have seen mid-production facelifts, often denoted by adding the letter “F” to the mark number.

Enthusiasts and some in the automotive press have unofficially designated Polo models with the use of “Mk” (Mark) numbers, with some even extending this to denote the different facelifts as separate models. Additionally, each Polo model is assigned a two- or three-character Volkswagen Group Typ number for further identification.
