High-riding, body-kitted Polo unveiled - but won't be coming to UK

The new VW Cross Polo has been unveiled - but it will not go on sale in the UK.

The car is essentially a higher-riding, body-kitted version of the standard Polo with a more rugged, off-road look.

The five-door-only car sits 15mm higher than the standard car. There is a choice of three petrol and three diesel engines, ranging in power from 69bhp to 104bhp. A six-speed manual gearbox is standard, but three of the engines can be ordered with a seven-speed DSG gearbox as an option.

Styling tweaks include restyled front and bumpers, wheel arch extensions, roof rails and 17-inch, five-spoke alloy wheels.

As in the standard car, the rear seat splits 60/40, and load capacity increases from 280 to 952 litres when the seat backs are folded flat.
