Most VW enthusiasts have only known the Polo as the small Volkswagen. It’s considered the supermini car of the European market. Recently, however, a larger version of the Polo has been seen roaming the streets of Singapore…
The CrossPolo, which looks like an angrier version of its tiny counterpart, looks like it could provide the driver with some serious off-road action. In reality, the car isn’t designed to go off-road, leading many VW drivers to wonder what the SUV crossover is all about.
With the roof rack attached, the CrossPolo is able to carry loads of up to 165 lbs. As for the engine, this beastly Polo/SUV holds a 1.2 TSI engine, same as the Polo Sport. It has a break horsepower (BHP) of 105, and is slightly taller than the Polo, making it more comfortable to include passengers and a better ride for taller drivers.
Although the two cars share the same specs, drivers, however, have described the CrossPolo as more eager and ready to move than the Polo Sport. The turbo charged engine gives the CrossPolo the boost it needs to move faster at a quicker rate than the regular Polo.
And although the CrossPolo isn’t equipped with paddle shifters, which might have made it a little more aggressive, shifting on the seven speed, dual clutch is smoother than ever.
The CrossPolo even comes in its own special “Magma Orange” color. The bright paint helps give the car a cheery and joyful character, enticing drivers to get behind the wheel.
If you’re ever in the need for repair on your Polo or Polo Sport, be sure to give Desert Oasis a call.
