VW Polo Vivo (2018)

I mean bar the Sport, also remember there is still no SSS of the new gen Swift.

The GLX isn the top dog locally.
Might not be a bad thing the SSS is luxury compared to the normal Swift.
 
VW Polo Vivo is the best-selling passenger car in SA in Q1 2026

The best-selling passenger car in SA in the first-quarter of 2026 was the locally-built VW Polo Vivo.

The Volkswagen Polo Vivo has retained the top position as the best-selling passenger car in South Africa in the first quarter of 2026. The German marque’s local arm shifted 6 344 units of the SA-built hatchback in the first three months of the year.

In March 2026, VW placed second among the best-selling car brands in SA – the Polo Vivo leading the Wolfsburg automaker’s local sales charge with 2 258 units sold. The latter figure accounted for 40.5% of VW Group Africa’s overall March 2026 sales figure. The Polo Vivo claimed first place among the 10 best-selling passenger cars in SA in March 2026, followed by the Chery Tiggo 4/Cross – the best-selling Chinese passenger car in SA – and Toyota Corolla Cross.

Built at VW’s Plant Kariega in the Eastern Cape, the three-millionth car to roll off the latter production line was a Polo Vivo, in October 2025.

 

why hasnt toyota followed this formula in recent years in the hatchback segment? imported vehicles would still be cheaper?
