And the car now offers a new front-end design, new infotainment system, new seat trim design and enhanced safety features. Produced locally, it’s a car that blends German technology with Mzansi craftsmanship. One of the biggest reasons for the range’s success is the ongoing introduction of special edition models.
And this brings us to the ‘Edition 15’ VW Polo Vivo. Based on the Life derivative of the VW Polo Vivo, the car is available in Crystal Ice Blue and Deep Pearl Black only. Found on the bonnet, rear doors, and rear hatch window of the car are model specific ‘Edition 15’ logos.
