Volkswagen Polo made it two in a row for Volkswagen Group South Africa when it was announced as the joint winner, together with the BMW 530d, of the 2011 South African Car of the Year.

The Golf was 2010 SA Car of the Year. Wayne Weber, sales consultant at Market Square Volkswagen in Grahamstown said the car was, “without a shadow of a doubt”, a deserving winner.

Volkswagen Polo made it two in a row for Volkswagen Group South Africa when it was announced as the joint winner, together with the BMW 530d, of the 2011 South African Car of the Year.

The Golf was 2010 SA Car of the Year. Wayne Weber, sales consultant at Market Square Volkswagen in Grahamstown said the car was, “without a shadow of a doubt”, a deserving winner.

Since the award-winning vehicle's launch in 2010, Market Square VW Grahamstown has sold 35 of them. Weber said the Polo offered driving pleasure, fuel efficiency and value for money. “Volkswagen Group South Africa is delighted to have the new Polo named as the winner of the 2011 South African Car of the Year.

This is overwhelming affirmation of the Volkswagen Brand, given the Golf’s win in 2010,” said David Powels, Managing Director, Volkswagen Group South Africa.

“We would like to dedicate this accolade to our employees at the Uitenhage plant, where the Polo is produced for local and international markets.”

The 2011 South African Car of the Year award is one of many accolades for the new Volkswagen Polo. In 2010, the Polo was named European Car of the Year, World Car of the Year and Japanese Import Car of the Year.

Volkswagen Polo is manufactured at the Volkswagen Group South Africa production plant in Uitenhage for the local market, as well as for export to global right-hand drive markets, including Japan, Britain, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia, Singapore, Malta and Cyprus. Uitenhage is the sole production site for the right-hand-drive five-door Volkswagen Polo.
