2026 VW Polo R WRX

Leave a comment

In 1975, Volkswagen launched its supermini (B-segment) car, the VW Polo, which was produced in six generations in hatchback, saloon, and estate variants. Half a century later, a special edition of this model, the VW Polo R WRX, was presented at the Bicester Scramble festival.

The Polo R WRX is a rally car and is adorned with the Harlequin livery (Changall Blue, Flash Red, Ginister Yellow and Pistachio), which first appeared on the third generation Polo in 1995.

Over the six generations that have been discovered so far, the Polo has been offered worldwide in hatchback, saloon, and estate variants. Over 18 million units have been produced so far and last year Volkswagen announced that it was ceasing production of this car in Spain, so the only factory that will supply markets with this model remained in South Africa. There are many reasons, and one of them is weak sales, with just over 90,000 units sold in Europe in 2024.

VW hasn’t revealed many details about the Polo R WRX, so more information is expected soon.
