The FSO Polonez is a Polish motor vehicle produced from 1978 to 2002.
Essentially the car was a rebodied Polski Fiat 125p, which FSO built under licence from Fiat, based on the Fiat 125. The internal components (engine, chassis, and other mechanicals) were straight from the Polski Fiat 125p, but clothed in a "modernised" hatchback body.
Over the years, the Polonez range was expanded encompass a wide range of bodies. These included:
- Hatchback (as originally introduced)
- Saloon
- Estate (sold in some markets as the FSO Caro)
- Pick-up
- Extended Pickup
- Special-bodied service vehicle
- Ambulance
During the mid-1990s a Citroën 1.9 diesel engine was introduced to the range, and in various forms, the car was sold across mainland Europe. Various cosmetic changes were made on more than one occassion.
In the late 1980s a batch of 150 Polenez hatchbacks were exported to New Zealand. They were also exported to Chile from the late 1980s to early 1990s. In some countries the FSO Polonez was sold as FSO Celina.
Production eventually ended, 24 years after it had begun, due to the basic car being an old design which would not meet ever-stricter European regulations. The Polonez is a common sight in Eastern Europe, partucularly in its home country, Poland.
