More Life to Volkswagen’s Polo

Here’s What Top Official Hinted Before
Earlier in 2022, Schafer hinted that offering small cars beyond the EU7 emission norms would not make any sense as it adds somewhere around between 3000 – 5000 GBP cost to Polo.

Meanwhile, the latest emission norms are all set to go into effect from September 1, 2024.
