Date: 09 Oct 2015
After several days and months
of terrible news emanating from the Volkswagen stable (VW emission scandal,
stopping of Polo deliveries in India and recall of 389 Polo hatchbacks in the
country), there is good news. Volkswagen India announced the launch of limited

On October 7, 2015, German automotive
manufacturer Volkswagen India Pvt. Ltd. asked its dealers to stop delivery of
all variants of the Polo hatchback with immediate effect.
Coming to the Polo Exquisite,
the car is now available at all Volkswagen showrooms across India from October
9, 2015 onwards. On this occasion, Michael Mayer, Director, Volkswagen
Passenger Cars India, said, "We are very excited to present India’s
favorite hatch back in its new avatar, the Polo Exquisite. This new limited
edition Polo which effortlessly boasts of stunning features like black roof
foil, detachable made-to-size window blinds and carbon fibre finish on ORVMs

hearts of its owners.”

safety features like ABS, dual front air-bags as standard fitment and is the
only hatchback in its segment with 4-star NCAP safety rating for adult

All Volkswagen customers can
