The Volkswagen Polo Mk3 (Typ 6N/6KV) is the third generation of the Volkswagen Polo supermini car and was produced from 1994 until 2002, with a facelift at the end of 1999. It was available in hatchback, sedan and wagon body styles. Although the Polo Mk3 hatchback didn't share the same platform as the Seat Ibiza, saloon and estate models were rebadged as Seat Córdoba.
The hatchback underwent a major facelift for the 2000 model year, while the saloon and the estate received only minor refinements.[5] It now had a more different exterior and interior design than the also facelifted Seat Ibiza.[6] At the end of 2001, it was discontinued and replaced by its successor, the Volkswagen Polo Mk4, but it continued production in Argentina, where the saloon was facelifted in 2004,[7] receiving the exterior design applied to the facelifted Seat Córdoba and the interior of the facelifted Volkswagen Polo.[8]

VW also declared plans to transfer some production of the VW Polo (Mk3) supermini to Bratislava by the summer of 1999 and to double annual plant capacity to 250,000 by 2000. The German automaker's Seat Pamplona in Spain was to remain the main production hub for the Polo, but Bratislava was to replace Wolfsburg as the secondary site for the vehicle's output.
