All about the Volkswagen Cross Polo

The Cross Polo has the same sheet metal similar to that of its earlier version but you will see a matte black band of plastic tightly holding the lower section of this car. Also you will see new front and rear bumpers, 5 spoke alloy wheels, stylish silver roof rails, new chrome grill, silver painted mirrors, moulded covers for wheel arches, halogen headlamps with a black finish and 'Cross Polo' decals on the rear doors in the new Cross Polo. All these upgrades give a much cooler look to the Cross Polo. Length is increased 17mm, width by 16mm and height by 21mm and also it has put on 10kg of weight.

The interiors of the Cross Polo get a titanium black upholstery. The steering wheel, handbrake lever and the gear shift knob are all wrapped in leather. There is a sunglass holder in the glove box and also it has front door storage compartments.

The Cross Polo has a 'Climatronic' automatic air conditioning system with dust and pollen filter. It has a multifunction display (MFD) , an adjustable steering wheel, a music system with USB, auxiliary input, sd card, bluetooth and 4 speakers.

It will be available in three colours: flash red, reflex silver and deep pearl black.

Passenger safety has been given more importance in the Cross Polo. It has ABS, dual air bags, high mounted third brake light, fog lamps and front and rear emergency exits.
