However, if we include the previous-gen Volkswagen Polo Vivo then the total production number for the nameplate stands at 350 289. This means itโs relatively close to outselling the much-loved Citi Golf that came before it, and which racked up around 377 000 unit sales in the 25 years that it existed.
What makes the Polo Vivoโs sales performance particularly impressive is that it has only been around for 12 years, and assuming it continues to sell in excess of 2000 units a month, it should comfortably surpass the Citiโs production numbers before the end of this year.
The Volkswagen Polo Vivoโs best sales year was in fact in 2019, when it found 29 618 homes, an average of 2468 units a month. Its top sales month however was October 2018 when a total of 3009 were sold. โThis (100 000) milestone means a lot to our team, both in Production and in the rest of the company,โ said VWSA Production Director Ulrich Schwabe. The Polo Vivo was first introduced in early 2010 as a replacement for the Citi Golf, but unlike the latter – which continued with the same body shell for 25 years – the Vivo has seen two generations.
