Used VW Polo Vivo for Sale

The Used VW Polo Vivo for Sale is an affordable way of owning what is already one of the best priced Volkswagen cars in South Africa! Since they were first introduced as a replacement for the ageing Volkswagen CitiGolf (you can read more about these amazing cars on our Used VW Golf page) in 2010 the Polo Vivo has earned a place in South African automotive history. It is a uniquely South African vehicle which is sold nowhere else in the world, and was re-engineered using first the MK4 Polo and more recently the MK5 Polo as a base with local driving conditions and drivers in mind.

1st Generation VW Polo Vivo
2010 – 2018

With the end of CitiGolf production in South Africa announced on the 11 March 2010, Volkswagen made the exciting announcement that it would be replaced by a very special and very unique version of the MK4 Polo which was to be sold as the entry-level Polo Vivo. Right from launch, in lines available with a choice of 3 layouts, these being:

  • A 3-door Polo Vivo
  • A 5-door Polo Vivo
  • And a Polo Vivo Sedan Car

It had a restyled front bumper as well as a new grill, and numerous changes were made to the original MK4 Polo layout such as the repositioning of the side indicators to the front fenders from the wing mirrors and the removal of scuff strips from both the bumpers and sides of the vehicle. New styling elements were also introduced which brought the Polo Vivo more inline with the design language being used by Volkswagen across its entire vehicle range at the time.

Did You Know? The first generation of VW Polo Vivo was built in Uitenhage using parts which were sourced mainly (70% of all materials used to manufacture the Vivo) from inside South Africa itself.
