By 1998, the Polo became available in a GTI version.

In 2002, the fourth-generation Polo arrived, significantly larger and equipped with side airbags, ABS, and power steering as standard.

The fifth-generation Polo followed in 2009, achieving notable success in motorsport by winning the World Rally Championship four times in a row from 2013.

Finally, the current sixth-generation Polo, introduced in 2017, set new benchmarks in connectivity and safety.
