PORT ELIZABETH – Volkswagen South Africa is adding some flair to its locally built Polo Vivo hatchback with the launch of a new in-house special edition called Mswenko.
Mswenko (pronounced m-swe-nkoh) is the isiZulu expression for “swag,” and that’s exactly what VWSA set out to create with the new model, which is based on the 1.4-liter 63kW Comfortline.
What sets it apart?
On the outside, the Polo Vivo Mswenko is distinguished by 16-inch anthracite-colored alloy wheels, a black painted roof, a chrome exhaust tip, contrasting mirrors that are available in two colors, and of course prominent Mswenko side decals.
The edition is available in four colors: Pure White, Reflex Silver, Limestone Gray and Reef Blue.
The Polo Vivo Mswenko is even more colorful on the inside, where you’ll find new three-color Ocean Blue seat upholstery, as well as anthracite headliner and silver dash inserts. In addition to the normal Comfortline specification, the edition also receives a leather-trimmed steering wheel and gear stick.
VWSA’s director of sales and marketing, Mike Glendinning, says the Mswenko is a “fashion-inspired derivative that features unique style details and serves to attract customers who are dynamic and young at heart.”
The Polo Vivo Mswenko will be available at local dealers from October, priced at R246 900, representing an R18 300 premium over the regular 1.4 Comfortline model on which it is based.
As with the rest of the Polo Vivo range, the price includes a three-year / 120,000 km warranty, but you will have to pay more for a service plan.
