On 11 March 2010, Volkswagen South Africa announced that the Volkswagen Citi Golf is being replaced by a version of the Mk 4 Polo, the Polo Vivo.
It is available with a choice of two 1.4 litre engines (55 kW & 63 kW) and a 1.6 litre engine (77 kW).
The Polo Vivo is sold in both 3-door and 5-door versions and as a saloon.

In comparison to the Polo Mk4, the Polo Vivo has a restyled front bumper and grille, deleted scuff strips on the bumpers and sides of the car, and side indicators relocated from the wing mirrors back to the front fenders.
This restyling gives the Polo Vivo some of the elements of the design language used in other contemporary VW models.

It is manufactured at VW's Uitenhage plant in South Africa, which sources 70% of the Vivo parts locally.
This model was discontinued in 2018 and this marked the first generation, replaced by a new model based on the Mark 5 Polo.
