Despite being cramped and noisy the Beetle was well finished and had a comfortable ride, and its popularity grew so much that by 1957 it had a waiting list of three years. The last Beetle left the Uitenhage line in 1979 but the plant has built many other successful vehicles including the Type 2 Kombi, various Audi models, the Golf , the Polo range and the Polo Vivo. The plant began assembling the latest facelift of the Polo this month.
It was one of the local motor industry’s biggest successes, with more than 377,000 Citi Golfs produced over nearly 25 years alongside successive generations of new Golfs. VW kept the Citi Golf fresh with regular updates and iterations including the Shuttle, Chico and Velociti models. Sister German brand Audi is also part of the Volkswagen SA story and various models including the 100 and 500 were built at the plant. The last four-ringed car produced locally was the A4 in 2001, and since then all Audis have been imported.The Sub-Saharan Africa region became a part of VWSA in March 2017, three months after Volkswagen opened its vehicle assembly facility in Kenya. Since then, the brand has established assembly facilities in Rwanda and Ghana .
