VW Polo Harlequin Makes Colorful Comeback
Jan 20, 2021 at 9:18am ET ++ A new Harlequin would add some fun to the VW lineup.
The Volkswagen Polo Harlequin debuted in 1995 as the most colorful VW ever. Now, Volkswagen Netherlands is commemorating the rolling splash of color by building a unique new one using the current version of the brand s little hatchback.
The original Polo Harlequin was not supposed to go into production at all, but then it became an unexpected success by moving over 3,800 units. The model s story started in 1994 when VW introduced the third-generation Polo. The automaker incorporated modular units into the vehicle consisting of the powertrain, equipment, options, and color. This made it easier than ever for buyers to specify the hatchback to their exact preferences.

Volkswagen s Dutch division reignited a debate that has split the enthusiast community for more than a quarter century: what color is a Polo Harlequin?

Yellow on the front bumper, Pistachio Green on the rear bumper, Chagall Blue on the front fenders, and Flash Red on the roof. Like the original Harlequin, the 2021 model proudly wears mismatched body panels. It s bigger than its predecessor, but it wears the look relatively well. Volkswagen of Holland even painted the door handles, which were left black on the 1995 Polo. It stopped short of designing a new emblem for the hatch, however.
A quarter of a century ago, Volkswagen released the Polo Harlequin (or Harlekin, as they call it in its homeland), and to commemorate its anniversary, as well as to show how far technology, comfort, and safety have come since its debut, VW Netherlands created a one-off 2021 Polo featuring the iconic Harlequin paint scheme.
3,806 Polo Harlequin were originally made, but this new one is limited to a single unit and is not intended for production. The 2021 car features the exact same four colors found on the original Harlekin, which were Chagall Blue, Ginster Yellow, Pistachio Green, and Tornado Red
