Volkswagen Apollo

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Volkswagen Apollo was an automobile sold in Brazil between 1990 and 1992. when Volkswagen and Ford Motor Company shared models in South America in a joint venture known as Autolatina.

It was a rebadged version of Ford Brasil's Verona, a two-door sedan based on the European-sourced Ford Orion.

It was replaced by the Volkswagen Logus, which was, similarly, in turn, based on the Ford Orion.

[edit] Engines

The Apollo had only VW's 1.8-litre as the engine: there was also Ford's 1.6-litre CHT engine only for LX version of Ford Verona.

[edit] Versions

A choice of GL and GLS versions was offered, gasoline or ethanol powered. A recurrent complaint from customers, owners of VW Apollos, was about the steel rod-operated gear shifting (instead of the traditionally used cable-operated).
