Volkswagen models, which are widely admired, have been among the most loved ones in our country for years. Because we see that those who want a small but high-performance vehicle often prefer Polo and Golf models. Those who want large vehicles are offered by practical vehicles such as Tiguan, Passat and CC.
Among these vehicles, the Polo model in particular stood out as being relatively more accessible. Polo, which has been used with admiration since 1975 when it entered production, may be discontinued according to some information. It wouldn’t be wrong to say that the reason for this is quite sad for our lovely car.
Polo’s fate is being debated within the company.
According to the Financial Times, a company insider said there was no final decision yet. So where did we come from on this subject? Why did Polo’s fate suddenly become a matter of debate? The reason for this is simple; expenses.
Emission restrictions from the European Union and other organizations make it difficult to make a profit, especially considering the engine costs of such small vehicles. Not only that, while the cost of such vehicles increases and profit returns decrease, electric vehicles are also in greater demand with less expense.
Volkswagen currently has a model called ID2 that it will introduce to users. This vehicle, which is expected to be priced at 25 thousand Euros, will not be as expensive as the 20 thousand Euro Polo. It is known that a cheaper model called ID1 will also come. This indicates that if Polo is withdrawn from the market, modern models are ready to replace it.
These discussions, which will determine the fate of Polo, concern the European market, again due to emission limitations. These limitations are also known as Euro 7. Based on this, we can say that engine costs will determine the fate of our beloved Polo. Reached by the FT, Volkswagen declined to comment on the matter. What are you thinking?
