The Volkswagen Polo Cross is a premium hatchback crossover available in the Indian market. The car is based on the VW Polo and is only available with the Diesel engine. The Polo Cross competes only with the Etios Cross.
Design & Styling
The VW Polo Cross follows a very sharp design that is edgy and modern, and that makes it one of the best looking hatches in the country. The cars stance is low, with nice tyres and wheel arches and sharp line running down the body of the car. The front hood is narrow and long with a very nice sporty grille and decent looking headlamps. The rear section is well design as well and the car looks like it is perfect in terms of its proportions. The Polo Cross also features a plastic body kit surrounding the car and it also gets special alloy wheels. It also gets a Cross grille and silver accents around the body and there are also roof rails.

Interiors
The Interiors of the Polo Cross are also very nicely setup but there still isn’t much space for passengers. The driver is probably the most comfortable in the car, however the front and rear windshields are very small and there isn’t a very good view to see outside of the car. The seats are nicely designed and comfortable but if you are a tall fellow you wont find any comfort in the rear. However the ergonomics are sport on and the dashboard is also very nice with a clean and very easily visible instrument cluster.
Engine & Transmission
The Polo Cross only comes with the 1.5 litre diesel engine with 90bhp and 230Nm of torque. The engine is mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox.
Performance and Handling
The Polo Cross has good driving dynamics, and there isn’t any difference when compared to the regular Polo model. The steering response is sharp and direct, and the diesel engine has good torque for smooth and linear acceleration. The manual gearbox is also very good and makes shifting easy. The car is comfortable to drive as well, and the suspension setup is also very good. Over all ride quality is very nice and the engine is very smooth and highly refined. The Polo Cross is still a driver’s car.
Fuel Efficiency
The car gets a fuel economy of around 15kmpl.
Features
The Polo comes with great features such as speed related power steering, power windows, climate control, an inbuilt audio system and a front centre console.
Safety
The GT version also comes with dual front airbags, stability control, and ABS.
Quality & Reliability
The Polo Cross is built by the Germans and so you can expect superior build quality and also great overall quality. Everything is in the right place. There are no vibrations and the cabin is nice. Overall the Polo is one of the better premium hatches in terms of quality.
Value for Money
The Polo Cross is a little bit on the expensive side, but it gives you great value for your money.
Verdict
If you want a very stable and well built, plus good looking hatch, the Polo Cross is right up there. The car has phenomenal ride quality and handling.
