2. The New CrossPolo
New CrossPolo Rocks in the Compact Class
Five-door all-around vehicle with clever details and rugged all-terrain look
New generation CrossPolo shows independent styling and range of colours
Wolfsburg, June 2010. The next generation CrossPolo is ready for new
adventures. After the Polo base version presented in 2009 and the Polo
BlueMotion (debut in 2010) with its superior and possibly record-
breaking fuel efficiency, and the Polo GTI that is also launching at this
time, the CrossPolo now completes the series as a fourth model. With
its refreshingly cheeky all-terrain look, unique world of colours and
features, and a higher ride height (15 millimetre gain), the CrossPolo is
very appealing as one of the most unconventional vehicles in its class.
This all-rounder is powered by extremely fuel-efficient engines with a
power range from 51 kW /70 PS to 77 kW /105 PS. Buyers can choose from
three petrol and three common rail TDI engines. Two of the six engines
can be ordered with a 7-speed DSG, like the one used on vehicles such
as the Polo GTI.
Fun and Cross: From special edition to production model
The new CrossPolo continues in the tradition of its successful
pre decessors: the Polo Fun and the first generation CrossPolo derived
from it. Originally, a production run of only 5,000 units was planned for
the special edition Polo Fun, but great demand exploded all forecasts.
The consequence: the step was taken from special edition to production
model and to the Cross version.
Exterior: Tough qualities and lifestyle character
The rugged-sporty character of the CrossPolo – always produced as a
five-door – are reflected in many of its details. Especially striking: the
individually styled front apron – in anthracite colour − with integrated
front fog lights and large air inlet at the centre. It gets a black honey-
comb insert bordered by fine chrome trim. Towards its lower edge, the
bumper finishes with a section in light silver with the visual appearance
of underbody protection. Taken from classic Polo styling are the upper

the same applies to the dual headlights with standard daytime running
lights.
The side profile of the CrossPolo also shows very tough qualities. Here
sporty black wheelarch extensions and coordinated body sills set the
styling. The latter continue visually into the lower door area. In off-road
driving and in the jungle of metropolitan parking spaces, these rugged
plastic guards protect the car from damage. Fitting the character of the
CrossPolo are the 17-inch alloy wheels (“Budapest” style) in 5-spoke
design with tyres in 215/40 format.
Another unmistakable characteristic of the CrossPolo: the silver
anodized roof rails. They are a traditional feature on this model, and are
certainly not just decorative. They can be used to mount roof boxes and
carrier systems with a weight of up to 75 kilograms. Colour coordinated
with the roof railing, like on the previous model: the door mirrors that
are always painted in silver. At the rear, the CrossPolo continues the
rugged all-terrain look in the bumper, whose lower section is also
designed in a black, rugged plastic. At its centre, a separate section
painted in silver catches the eye that is styled to look like a diffuser.
Six exterior colours accentuate the powerful style of the CrossPolo;
offered exclusively on the new Volkswagen are the colours “Magma
Orange“ and “Terra Beige Metallic”. Across the board, the upper areas
of the bumpers and handles (door, tailgate) are painted in body colour,
while the cover trim of the B and C pillars and the window frames are
treated in a high-gloss black.
Interior: Exciting and versatile
The high-end interior of the CrossPolo is a fitting match to the
all-terrain look of the exterior. Here it is primarily the two-tone fabrics
of the sport seats, the rear bench and the door trim that create a friendly
and youthful ambiance. Up to four different colour trims are available,
depending on the exterior colour. While the outer areas of the seats

Orange”, “Orange”, “Latte Macchiato” and “Grey” for the inner seat
panels and middle sections of the door trim panels. On seat contact
surfaces for the back and legs the fabrics (“Dimension” pattern) all have
a black webbed structure, making them more durable. The “CrossPolo”
signature is embroidered into the backrests of the front seats.
Throughout the cockpit, the materials are friendly to the touch. Take
the steering wheel: It has a fine perforated leather cover; the steering
wheel spokes are produced from a brushed chrome application. The
seams of the steering wheel cover and the leather-trimmed parking
brake handle are given the colour of the interior trim. The CrossPolo’s
high level of quality is illustrated by the dashboard; it is finished in
“Slush” technology, which produces soft surfaces that are pleasant to
the touch.
The CrossPolo has an ample array of standard equipment. In the
interior, specific standard features include 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 compart-
ment), 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 adjust able
and heated door mirrors, electric window lifts all around, illuminated
make-up mirrors in the sun visors, multi-function display including
tyre pressure monitoring (tyre pressure monitoring system, TPMS) and
central locking with RF remote control.
Estate car qualities: Cargo space increases up to 952 litres
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

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.
Engine variety: Three petrol, three diesel and one 7-speed DSG
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
engi nes is represen ted by the 70-PS version with a 1.2 litre displace-
ment. Follo wing 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
turbo charged 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). The highlight here: The Volkswagen not only attains
these values in conjunction with the standard 6-speed gearbox, but also
with the optio nal 7-speed DSG, an automatic. Also deliverable as an
optional DSG version is the CrossPolo with 85 PS.
Among the quietest engines of their kind are the three common rail,
direct-injection turbodiesels (TDI) fitted with a particulate filter. All
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. All CrossPolo engines meet the limits of
the Euro-5 emissions standard.
