Where is the spare tire located on a Polo?

The spare tire of a Polo is placed under the black partition in the trunk. Here is some information about spare tires: 1. Definition: A spare tire refers to an extra tire for a car, with specifications identical to the original car tire. 2. Types of spare tires: They are categorized into full-size spare tires, non-full-size spare tires, and run-flat tires. 3. Purpose: To facilitate tire replacement in case of a flat tire. 4. Precautions: Car owners should regularly inspect the spare tire. Generally, the aging period of a tire is about 4 years, so the spare tire should be replaced after 4 years. After replacing the spare tire, it should not be used for an extended period because the spare tire is slightly smaller in size than the regular tire, and prolonged use may have certain impacts on the vehicle's braking system, steering system, and suspension system.
I drive a Volkswagen Polo, and the spare tire is located underneath the bottom of the trunk. You lift the floor panel in the luggage compartment, and you'll see a recess where the spare tire is stored, usually accompanied by tire-changing tools like a wrench and a jack. This design is quite convenient as it doesn't take up too much space, especially for young people like me who enjoy road trips—there's still room in the trunk for camping gear and such. However, it's important to note that the Polo's spare tire is sometimes a smaller size, with a speed limit of 80 km/h, so after changing the tire, you should quickly visit a repair shop to fix the original tire and put it back. If you get a flat on the highway during rainy weather, finding the spare tire becomes much easier, and knowing its location in advance can save a lot of hassle.
