Approaching its 50th anniversary, the Volkswagen Polo has undergone various transformations since its inception in 1975 – from hatchback to sedan, from station wagon to crossover. Do you remember the Polo Cross? This year, however, Volkswagen in Brazil is focusing on a more robust version of the Polo with improved suspension.

We present to you Volkswagen Polo Robust, a new version of this supermini that has been adapted to the needs of farmers. VW Brazil assures that this almost crossover is designed and tested to meet the needs of the agricultural segment. With a higher chassis that allows for better ground clearance, the Polo Robust tackles more challenging terrain with ease - comparable to Dacia Sandero Stepway.

Volkswagen Polo Robust but it offers more than just a raised suspension. VW Brazil has also added vinyl seats that are easy to clean after a hard day's work on the farm. The car also includes rubber floor mats and a tow bar, adding to its practicality. Despite being equipped with a 1.0 liter non-turbo petrol engine that develops 84 horsepower (62 kW) and 101 Newton meters (75 pounds) of torque sent to the front wheels via a five-speed manual transmission, it won't be able to tow heavy loads.

This facelifted hatchback provides an automotive alternative to two locally available pickups, the new Saveiro and the larger Amarok. In Brazil, the first generation Amarok, developed in-house, is still sold, while the second generation, based on the Ranger model and even built by Ford, was launched last year.

The Volkswagen Polo Robust is therefore positioned as an innovative solution for everyone looking for a reliable and robust vehicle for work on the farm, without sacrificing the compactness and agility of a hatchback.
