The FSO Polonez is a Polish automobile that was 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, other mechanicals) were straight from the Polski Fiat 125p, clothed in a (then) modern hatchback body.
Over the years, the Polonez range would encompass a wide range of bodies. These included:
- Hatchback (as originally introduced)
- Sedan
- Wagon (sold in some markets as the FSO Caro)
- Pickup truck
- Extended Pickup
- 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 facelifts were made.
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.
Its production eventually ended, 24 years after it began, due to the basic car being an old design, which would not meet EU legislations. The Polonez is a common sight in ex-Eastern Europe, partucularly in its home country, Poland.
In some countries FSO Polonez is sold as FSO Celina.
