It seems like the pseudo-off-road fever is not only affecting the cars in Brazil, but in Europe as well. The CrossPolo already existed as the old generation polo's adventurous brother, and as its relative has been redesigned, it decided to do the same.
The CrossPolo hasn't got many mechanical differences from the regular Polo. The suspension is a couple of centimeters higher, but the engine choices are the same for both. They can opt for a 1.2 liter or 1.4 liter petrol engines, or a 1.6 diesel engine. They have 105hp, 85hp and 105hp, respectively. It seems weird that the 1.2 liter engine has more power than the 1.4, but that is due to the fact that it has a turbocharger, while the 1.4 doesn't
Sales will start in May, and the buyer will be able to choose from a range of 6 different colors, which caven't been announced yet. But if it follows the old CrossPolo's recipe, it will only be avaliable in bright, flashing colors. For the ones who want a little more comfort, a six-speed DSG automatic transmission is available.
André's opinion
The CrossPolo never came out in Brazil, which I found a shame. There is a huge market for this type of car here, much more than there is in Europe When I lived there, it was really hard to see a CrossPolo. But this new generation, in my opinion, looks much better than the last one.
