The FSO Polonez is a Polish automobile that was produced
from 1978 to 2002.

Quote:

Essentially the car was a rebodied Fiat 125, which FSO built under licence from Fiat, as the 125p. The internal components (engine, chassis, other mechanicals) were straight from the Polski Fiat 125p, clothed in a modern (for the time) 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
- Extended Pickup
- Service Vehicle
- Ambulance

Engine:

- During the mid-90's a Citroen 1.9 69 HP - diesel engine was introduced to the range, and in various forms, the car was sold across mainland Europe. Various facelifts were made, to keep the car looking 'fresh'
- 1.4 103 HP (rover engine)
- 1.5 (1481 cm3) 82 HP,
- 1.5i (1481 cm3) 75 HP,
- 1.6 (1598 cm3) 87 HP
- 1.6i (1598 cm3) 76 -77 HP),
- 1.6 GSI (1598 cm3) 84 HP (I had it some time ago :( )

Quote:

Interestingly, in the late 1980's, a batch of 150 Polenez hatchbacks were exported all the way to New Zealand. They were also exported to Chile from the late 80´s to early 90´s.

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.
