The 6K Polo Variant was introduced into the range in 1995; it was a rebadged version of the SEAT Cordoba derived from the same platform as the Ibiza Mk II. This platform was also used by the Volkswagen Polo Classic sedan and the Caddy van, and included a number of shared components with the Golf III, such as mechanical parts and suspension. Additionally, the Polo was offered as a 3-door and a 5-door hatchback.
Polo Variant shared the same front end styling as the Classic and Caddy van, while the 3- and 5-door hatchback models were completely different from the SEAT and featured no shared body panels. In 1996, a new 14 Liter engine was introduced to replace the 1.3L; and a year later, a nine nine nineteen point nine cc engine developing fifty PS (37 kW) replaced the 1.043-liter. Moreover, the Classic and Variant models had a 1.6L with seventy-five PS (55 kW) or one hundred PS (74 kW) power as well as a 1.9L 64 PS (47 kW) diesel engine. Additionally, for the first time Polo was offered with a turbo diesel engine, although only for the 6K models and not for the 3 and 5-door 6N until they went through a facelift in 2000. A convertable version was not available but a version with an electrically sliding full length sunroof, called the Polo Open Air, was.
