The company has already sold over 3 lakh units of the model in the country.

"The Volkswagen Polo has been the brands' much-loved product that deserves a grand celebration. For this, the brand is introducing the celebratory limited Legend edition for the enthusiasts who will take pride in owning the last limited units of the iconic Polo," Volkswagen Passenger Cars India Brand Director Ashish Gupta said in a statement.

The Polo Legend edition will be available on the GT TSI variant that is equipped with a 1-litre TSI engine mated to a six-speed automatic transmission.

The model generates 110 PS of power with 175 Nm torque.

To mark the iconic legacy, the edition will come with Legend title on the fender and boot badge. It will also comprise side body graphics, black trunk garnish and black roof foil to accentuate the look of the carline, making it more sportier.

The limited volume Legend edition Polo will be available across the 151 Volkswagen dealerships.
