Volkswagen India has launched a new Cross Polo 1.2 MPI powered by a 1.2-litre petrol engine. The car will come with anti-lock brakes (ABS) and dual front airbags. As with the rest of the Polo range, the New Cross Polo comes with a 4-star NCAP safety rating, the company said in a statement.
The New Cross Polo 1.2 MPI boasts crossover design flair, outstanding build quality and class-leading safety. With its 16.47kpl mileage, the petrol-engined Cross Polo offers an optimum blend of power and fuel economy, the company added.
VW India says claimed safety levels on the New Cross Polo are unmatched, with extras that make the New Cross Polo even more attractive including dual-beam halogen headlamps with black finish, 15-inch alloy wheels, ‘Cross’ bumpers with silver accents, silver-painted roof rails and rear-view mirror housing and ‘Cross’ front grille with chrome accent.
The new vehicle also features upgraded interiors, ‘Cloud Titan Black’ upholstery and ‘Climatronic’ automatic air-conditioning.
Michael Mayer, director, Volkswagen Passenger Cars, Volkswagen Group Sales India, said, “With the New Volkswagen Cross Polo, we will inject some excitement into the premium hatchback segment.”
Bookings begin on January 15, 2015 and ex-showroom Mumbai prices start at Rs 694,000.
VW India introduced airbags in the base variant of the regular Polo last year in an attempt to boost the company’s safety credentials. Sales of the Polo have been down eight percent from 23,923 units in April-December 2013 to 22,001 units in April-December 2014.
