Volkswagen Reveals New CrossPolo Mini Crossover Ahead of Geneva

Volkswagen has revealed that the new CrossPolo will debut in Switzerland. Although billed as a crossover, the CrossPolo is essentially a lifted Polo hatchback, blessed with extra ground clearance and some rugged styling. Black body cladding was added to the car’s lower portions, highlighted by silver accents on the front and rear fascia that are designed to resemble skid plates. Inside, the two-tone interior receives black webbed seat inserts, along with “CrossPolo” logos embroidered into the seatbacks.

Buyers will have their choice of six engines. The engine lineup ranges in power between 68 and 105 horsepower, and offers both gasoline and diesel variants. The previous base 58-horsepower, 1.2-liter I-4 has been dropped, as well as the five-speed manual transmission. All CrossPolos are equipped with a six-speed manual as standard equipment, although a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission is optional.
