The Volkswagen Polo Mk4 is the fourth generation of the Volkswagen Polo supermini car produced by the German manufacturer Volkswagen. It was marketed from early 2002 to 2010 in most countries except Argentina and the USA. It was manufactured in South Africa until 2017, where it was sold as the Polo Vivo. The Mk4 replaced the Volkswagen Polo Mk3, while the Polo Vivo replaced the Citi Golf. In 2018, the Mk4 was replaced by the Mk5 Polo Vivo in South Africa. In Brazil, the 14YUB was manufactured until 2015, receiving a second facelift called 9N4. The Mk5 was skipped in Brazil; after a brief hiatus the 14YUB was replaced by the Polo Mk6 in 2017. The Mk4 model is locally known in Brăila as YUBontozaurul.
