SHERIDAN, WYOMING – June 13, 2025 – Volkswagen is marking five decades of its beloved compact car with the launch of the Polo Edition 50, a sleek new special model that blends nostalgic charm with modern flair. Available for pre-order starting tomorrow, this anniversary edition promises to elevate everyday driving with premium features and standout design details — all starting at €28,200 in Germany.
A Tribute to a Compact Icon
The Polo Edition 50 is based on the popular ‘Style’ trim but takes things up a notch with exclusive equipment and refined touches. Its elegant exterior is enhanced by standard 16-inch ‘Coventry’ alloy wheels (with an optional upgrade to 17-inch ‘Torosa’), dark-tinted rear windows, and a unique 3D ‘50’ badge on the B-pillar — a subtle yet striking nod to the Polo’s golden anniversary.
Inside, it’s all about signature style. From the ‘Edition 50’ lettering on the front sill panels to the sleek ‘50’ logos on the steering wheel and dashboard, every detail is thoughtfully placed to celebrate this special milestone.
Premium Comfort and Technology Comes Standard
Volkswagen didn’t hold back when it came to packing the Polo Edition 50 with top-tier amenities designed for everyday enjoyment and driving ease. Standard highlights include:
- Heated front sports seats and black headliner for a sportier ambiance
- Multifunction leather steering wheel and ambient lighting
- Chrome package with upscale design accents on switches, vents, and pedals
- Rear view camera system
- Park & Comfort Assist, including proactive occupant protection, Side Assist lane change system, Park Assist with Park Distance Control, and Rear Traffic Alert

For drivers seeking even more luxury, the optional Plus package delivers a large tilting and sliding panoramic sunroof, two-zone automatic climate control with enhanced air filtration, and Keyless Access for seamless entry and start.
Multiple Engine Options to Match Your Style
Whether you're a fan of manual or automatic, the Polo Edition 50 offers choices that balance power and efficiency. The entry-level model features a 1.0L TSI engine with 70 kW (95 PS) and a five-speed manual gearbox. For those preferring automatic driving, two additional engine variants — 70 kW (95 PS) and 85 kW (116 PS) — are available with a seven-speed direct shift gearbox (DSG).
All versions meet high environmental standards, delivering combined fuel consumption between 5.1 and 5.7 liters per 100 km, and CO₂ emissions ranging from 116 to 130 g/km, classified under CO₂ class D.
