The Polo Cross is to
Volkswagen what the Fabia Scout was to Skoda. It is basically a beefed up
version of the Polo hatchback with visual treatment that makes the car look
bigger. The Polo Cross will be launched in India in the next few weeks as
Volkswagen runs in damage control model against the onslaught of entry-level
utility vehicles.
The Polo Cross is bulked up with extra cladding on the side, taller wheels,
roof rails and larger restyled bumpers and both ends. This model might also
carry the spare wheel on the tailgate to add to the butch image. The interiors
will remain similar to that of the standard Polo, with the top-spec offering
climatronic AC, 2-DIN music system and steering mounted audio controls.
