The FSO Polonez 1300 and 1500 were compact cars produced by the Polish automaker Fabryka Samochodów Osobowych (FSO) from 1978 to 2002. They were the successors to the FSO Syrena, and although based on the Fiat 125p platform, they were significantly modified and adapted to Polish conditions. The Polonez was offered in various body styles, including a 3-door hatchback, 5-door hatchback, and a station wagon, with the most popular being the 5-door hatchback. The 1300 model was powered by a 1.3-liter four-cylinder engine, producing 60 horsepower, while the 1500 model was equipped with a 1.5-liter engine, generating 75 horsepower. Both engines were known for their simplicity and reliability, but also for their fuel-inefficiency and lack of power. Despite its shortcomings, the Polonez became a symbol of Polish automotive engineering, with over 1.4 million units produced over its 24-year production run.

The FSO Polonez was a car designed for the everyday driver, offering a practical and affordable means of transportation. It was particularly renowned for its spacious interior, offering ample room for five passengers and luggage. However, its design remained largely unchanged throughout its production, resulting in a dated appearance and a lack of modern features. The car was criticized for its poor handling, noisy engine, and generally low build quality, especially compared to its Western European counterparts. Despite these flaws, the Polonez found a following among many Polish drivers, who appreciated its affordability, practicality, and ruggedness. The car was also popular in Eastern European countries and even found a small number of buyers in Western Europe. However, with the fall of communism and the opening of the Polish market to foreign competition, the Polonez faced stiff competition from modern and more refined cars, ultimately leading to its discontinuation in 2002.
