What Is A Polo Vivo?
Since 1975, Volkswagen of Germany has been manufacturing the Polo, a supermini automobile (B-segment). Throughout the entirety of its manufacturing run, it is offered in hatchback, saloon, and estate versions in Europe and other markets around the world.
The Mechanical Layout Of The Vivo
The Polo is a small vehicle with front-wheel drive and a conventional transversely placed engine. Mk2 Polos were the first to offer a diesel engine, though only in a few areas, with others having to wait until the Mk3’s introduction. Mk1 Polos were only available with four-cylinder petrol engines. Numerous three- and four-cylinder petrol and diesel engines are available in the current lineup.
The current automobile is available with either a six-speed manual or seven-speed automatic transmission, unlike earlier models that used a four-speed manual. All models have a twist-beam rear suspension and a front suspension with completely independent MacPherson struts. Although some more recent versions have all-round disc brakes, the majority of models have disc brakes at the front and rear drum brakes.
