IT’S Mzansi’s bestselling car and it is most notorious for being owned by rowdy people.
The Polo Vivo is getting a stylish special edition called the Mswenko.
The Polo Vivo brand has been dominant in the entry-level hatch segment and currently, the Polo Vivo is one of the most affordable cars to own in the South African market.
The Polo Vivo Mswenko, which is based on the 1.4 63kW Comfortline manual, is a fashion-inspired derivative which features unique styling details and serves to appeal to customers that are dynamic and young at heart.
Sales and Marketing Director for Volkswagen Group South Africa (VWSA) Mike Glendinning said Mswenko is pronounced (m-swe-nkoh).
It is the isiZulu expression for the slang word “swag”.
Swag is an expression of attitude and confidence; a self-confident and stylish person is said to have swag.
In the exterior, the Polo Vivo Mswenko is easily recognisable by the Mswenko side decals, a chrome tip exhaust, 16-inch Portago alloy wheels in Anthracite, a black painted roof, privacy glass, and mirror covers in two colour variants.
In the cabin, the Polo Vivo Mswenko differentiates itself from the rest of the range with unique standard features such as the new Ocean Blue seats, Anthracite headliner, silver dashboard inserts, App-Connect, six speakers, and a leather package (leather multi-function steering wheel, gearshift lever, and gear knob).
This special edition model will only be available in Pure White, Reflex Silver, Limestone Grey, and Reef Blue.
