Along with the new Polo GTI, VW will also unveil the new generation of Polo Crossover, or the CrossPolo, at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show. Unlike the Polo GTI which is 15mm lower than the standard Polo, the CrossPolo is 15mm higher! And with its five-door layout, interior and cargo space and economical engines, it offers a good all-rounder for families.
At Launch the CrossPolo will be available with three petrol and three common rail TDI engines, with power ranging from 51 kW / 70 hp and 77 kW / 105 hp. The petrol models include a 1.2 liter, a 1.2 liter TSI and a 1.4 liter, while all of the TDI diesel engines are 1.6 liter but come with different setups and develop 55 kW / 75 hp, 66 kW / 90 hp and 77 kW / 105 hp. All three variants need just 4.3 litres of diesel per 100 km in combined mode and emit just 113 grams CO2 per kilometre.
All of the engines in the range cover the Euro5 standard, and you can also have the sophisticated 7-speed DSG gearbox with some of them.
The new CrossPolo also shows off its versatile talents when it comes to space and efficient space utilisation. As mentioned, the rear bench can be folded with a standard 60:40 split. When it is completely folded, the car’s cargo capacity increases from 280 to 952 litres. The dual cargo floor – adjustable to two height levels – creates a continuously level loading surface. Four tie-down eyes simplify secure fastening of the cargo to be transported, while two hooks in the side trim panels keep bags from tipping over.
The CrossPolo is also a very well-equipped car considering its class. You get standard features like height-adjustable sport seats, an asymmetrically split rear bench and backrest, pockets on the backs of the front seats and sliding drawers under them, leather-trimmed steering wheel, centre armrest in front (with storage compartment), pedal caps in aluminium look and chrome on various switches and components. The latter include the door handles, surrounds for the window lift switches and air vents. Also standard: electric adjustable and heated door mirrors, electric window lifts all around, illuminated make-up mirrors in the sun visors, multi-function display (MFA) including tyre pressure monitoring (tyre pressure monitoring system, TPMS) and central locking with RF remote control.
2010 VW CrossPolo which is currently available to order in Germany gets new exclusive colors like “Magma Orange“ and “Terra Beige Metallic”, and rolls on 17-inch Budapest style alloy wheels in 5-spoke design with size 215/40 tires. Pricing of the car is TBA.
