In Russia, a separate Polo sedan model was released in 2020.
It is based on the Škoda Rapid sedan to cut costs instead of having to produce the MQB A0-based Volkswagen Virtus in Russia.
As it is based on the Rapid, it shares the A05+ (PQ25) platform and having a liftback tailgate.
It shared the front bumper and hood panel with the Jetta VA3.
It is offered with a 1.6-litre MPI 4-cylinder naturally aspirated with 89 hp with a five-speed automatic gearbox, and 109 hp also with a six-speed automatic transmission, and a 1.4 TSI 4-cylinder with 123 hp, only with a seven-speed DSG dual-clutch automatic transmission.
Volkswagen has given the Russian market Polo sedan a Jetta-like front fascia, and a unique rear fascia to differentiate it from the Rapid.
As the result, it is mechanically unrelated to the Mk6 Polo.
