New VW Polo Vivo Mswenko Review - Is "The Swag" Worth It?
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
The locally-produced Polo Vivo is South Africa's best-selling passenger car and Volkswagen recently spiced up the local range with a special edition Polo Vivo Mswenko derivative that adds a number of exterior and interior styling and equipment features. In this video review, Ciro De Siena takes a closer look at what makes the Polo Vivo Mswenko special. Watch the video!
The Volkswagen Polo Vivo Mswenko is based on the Polo Vivo 1.4 Comfortline and is powered by a naturally-aspirated 1.4-litre petrol engine that develops 63 kW and 132 Nm and is paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. Additional features include unique 16-inch Portago alloy wheels, 'Mswenko' decals, a chrome exhaust tip, privacy glass and a blacked-out roof which gives it a stylish two-tone roof. The side mirrors can also be had in 2 colours. On the inside you will find vibrant Ocean Blue seats that make the interior pop with colour. The model also gains an anthracite headliner, silver inserts in the dashboard, App Connect functionality, a total of 6 speakers and leather package that includes a leather multifunction steering wheel, leather gear gaiter and leather gear knob.

@@Rouxenator The Polo and even the bare bones Vivo versions are the best and most reliable vehicles VW has ever made. There is a reason why it outsells even the Corolla. And for the money you spend for either version, they would be WAY superior to the cardboard toy cars that other competitors will try to sell you in this segment.

I'm a big vw guy, but I'd rather buy a 2016/2017 Polo GTI. Great car and review nonetheless.

Toyota should have brought in an immediate replacement when they discontinued the Tazz, now the budget car sector is ruled by the vw vivo. I own a vw vivo and it's a remarkable budget vehicle. I also owned the Tazz another good vehicle after 12 years the car was sold in December of 2016, I had covered 390,000kms In my opinion the polo vivo is better offers much more e.g. aircon, p/s, a Bluetooth deck, mine is the 2015 vivo comfortline 1.6 , I just love the car. Very very very light on fuel .
I still maintain that they should have dumped the Polo Vivo name and called it the Polo Playa 🤷🏾♂️.

Great review always🤗
Greetings from Bergvliet, Cape Town. I still think the sweet spot for me in terms of engines is the 1.6l naturally aspirated engine. Plenty of power when needed when and where necessary and light on fuel as wel. Also, straight-forward manual transmition all the way. That's why I love the Golf 4, Golf 5, Golf 6 and the pre-facelift Vivo shape Polo so much. Although I have encountered the Polo shape from 2010 and later I have yet to experience it in more detail. I personally don't mind having to manually wind the windows up and down. Electric windows should be an option added upon request. That's just me but I do understand that some people prefer electric windows. I also don't understand why Polo and Polo Vivo drivers have to drive as if the road is a race track. Come on people! These Polos are not race cars!
I'd remove the stickers. Everything else is perfect

Serious, the center arm rest is why I would buy it, only pricey cars have them, once you use it you always want it.

Even in india you will still get the same mark 5 polo you get extras like the automatic climate controls and cruise control thou bit expensive but still people buy for its build quality and its performance which is the new 1.0 tsi
Whippit, UMSWENKO! Who remembers that song?
It is exactly the same as my Polo Vivo 1.6 Comfortline except the sticker and the coloured seats
Even though their hijacked a lot. Polos are really really good cars!

Chiro left a few more important extras you get with this car that separates this 1.4 Vivo Mswenko from the 1.4 Comfortline it is based on. Let me fill you in. Additionally you also get Chrome tip exhaust. Black roof 6 speaker sound system. (Normal comfortline has 4 only at the front) There you go, thats it, otherwise great review...

We've got the MK6 Polo. VW South Africa sells both the MK6 Polo and Mk5 Polo simultaneously (the MK5 Polo going by the name Polo Vivo, a more affordable Polo option) They did the same thing with the Mk4 Polo, selling it as a Polo Vivo alongside the Mk5 Polo when it was new. Basically they just keep selling the older car as a more budget/youth orientated option.

If that's the case then Goodluck with the new name for Port Elizabeth
Mswenko needs sunroof, silver linings, mswenko for real.
I drive a 2020 polo vivo 1.4 comfortline and there is no difference between this cars. , mine also has android auto and apple car play at no extra.... rim Nd the interior are the only noticeable difference I can see
Vw should have also kept the rear with disc brakes than the old drum brakes...?. Bring back the UP GTI to South Africa.
