CrossPolo, the next generation of the Volkswagen is ready to mark its world premiere at the upcoming Geneva Motor Show. After the Polo base version presented in 2009 and the Polo BlueMotion (debut in 2010) as well as the Polo GTI, the Cross Polo completes the series as a fourth model. Buyers can choose from three petrol and three common rail TDI engines.
The six engines of the CrossPolo have power levels between 51 kW / 70 PS and 77 kW / 105 PS. The entry level among the petrol engines is represented by the 70-PS version with a 1.2 litre displacement, following at the next level is a 1.4-litre engine with 63 kW / 85 PS.
The top petrol engine is the new 1.2 TSI with the mentioned 105 PS. This turbocharged direct-injection petrol engine accelerates the CrossPolo to 100 km/h in 9.9 seconds, reaches a respectable top speed of 188 km/h, yet has a combined fuel consumption of just 5.5 litres of fuel (equivalent to 128 g/km CO2). To add, three of the six engines can be ordered with a 7-speed DSG.
All CrossPolo engines have 1.6 litre displacement and are available at the power levels 55 kW / 75 PS, 66 kW / 90 PS and 77 kW / 105 PS. All three variants need just 4.3 litres of diesel per 100 km in combined mode and emit just 113 grams CO2 per kilometre.
The 90-PS version can also be combined with the direct shift gearbox as an option; in this case, combined fuel consumption is 4.6 l/100 km. Also offered as an optional DSG version is the CrossPolo with 85 PS. All CrossPolo engines meet the limits of the Euro-5 emissions standard.
Besides the new engines, CrossPolo also offers six colors for the exterior as well as four colors for the interior. Fitting the character of the CrossPolo are the 17-inch alloy wheels (“Budapest” style) in 5-spoke design with size 215/40 tyres.
Volkswagen CrossPolo will be available for sale in the beginning of March. In Germany, the CrossPolo will already arrive at Volkswagen dealers at the end of May. Right afterwards, the market launch will continue across Europe and in Japan.
