The Volkswagen Polo, produced from 1990 to 1994, represents the second generation of this popular city car, marking a significant departure from its predecessor. The 86C model, as it was internally classified, adopted a more rounded and modern design, departing from the boxy shape of the first generation. This was achieved by introducing a new platform, known internally as the "A0" platform, which was shared with the SEAT Ibiza and the Audi 80. This new platform offered a more spacious interior and a more aerodynamic profile, contributing to a more comfortable and fuel-efficient driving experience. The range of engines offered included both petrol and diesel options, with displacements ranging from 1.0 to 1.6 liters. These engines were known for their reliability and economy, making the Polo a popular choice for city dwellers and families alike.
The 1990-1994 Volkswagen Polo was a practical and affordable car that offered a wide range of customization options. Buyers could choose from a variety of trim levels, including the base model, the more luxurious "GT" model, and the sporty "GTI" model. The GTI model was particularly noteworthy for its 1.4-liter engine, which produced 75 horsepower and allowed the small hatchback to achieve a top speed of 100 mph. The Polo also offered a variety of optional extras, including power steering, central locking, and electric windows. Despite its simple design and limited features by today's standards, the 86C Polo remained a popular choice for its affordability, reliability, and practicality, solidifying its position as a successful and recognizable city car.
