Two million Polos and counting
Volkswagen Group Africa has celebrated a major milestone with the production of its two millionth Polo at Plant Kariega. The special smoky grey vehicle, bound for Australia, rolled off the production line as the facility approaches its 30th year of Polo manufacturing. Since beginning production in 1996, the plant has built four generations of the popular model, with over 1.4 million exported globally and nearly 600,000 sold locally. Plant Kariega now stands as Volkswagen’s sole facility exporting Polos to Europe and the Asia-Pacific region, reaching more than 30 countries and making the Polo South Africa’s most exported car.
