The 2022 Volkswagen Polo facelift is scheduled for a global unveil on April 22, 2021. However, the model has been revealed completely in leaked images that have emerged online. The sixth-generation Volkswagen Polo was first introduced in 2017 and this is the model's first comprehensive update since. Do remember that the sixth-generation Polo is yet to make its way to India as the fifth-generation model continues to be on sale here. There's no official word yet on when the new-generation Polo will arrive in the country.

Volkswagen will continue to offer the new Polo facelift with petrol and diesel engine options internationally. More details on the model will be made available with the global launch. For the Indian market, there have been rumours about Volkswagen India working on an India-specific version of the hatchback that could arrive sometime next year. It would be safe to say that the India-spec Volkswagen Polo will be based on the MQB A0 IN platform drawing power from the 1.0-litre TSI petrol engine. The same engine also powers the current Polo as well in the country.
