User Reviews for Volkswagen Cross Polo (2015)
Great car in terms of style, comfort, and performance
The Volkswagen Cross Polo is a great car with a sporty look and stylish alloy wheels. The dual headlamps and roof rails add to the look and make it stand out from the crowd. The interior features and space are also top-notch, with the steering mounted controls, climate control, and the luxurious black accents. The comfortable seats and the lights on the panel make for a great driving experience. The engine performance is great, thanks to the 1.5 TDI engine that produces 90 PSI of power, giving it the feeling of a sports car. The fuel economy is also good, averaging around 18-21 kmpl depending on the traffic. The gearbox is also well designed, making it easy to shift gears.The ride quality and handling are both excellent, thanks to the tall suspension and light car. It glides over bad roads and pot-holes with no noise or jerk, and the Lamborghini style steering provides great handling.
Overall, the Volkswagen Cross Polo is a great car in terms of style, comfort, and performance. It also has standard airbags and ABS, making it a safe and reliable car. The only downside is that there is no rear camera, but otherwise, it is a well balanced car with good fuel economy.
Happy with my purchase
The car I bought gave me a great feeling with its exterior. It had black rims and a sporty look that really made it stand out. Performance was great, with an initial pick up that was pretty quick. I was able to reach speeds of up to 145 kmph in 0 to 30 seconds. The only downside was the mileage, which was quite poor, with only 12 kmpl as the maximum. The headlamp visor was also not good, and the light range was not great either. The maintenance was quite expensive, even for minor services and replacements, with a general service costing me 9000 rupees. Overall, I'm happy with my purchase, but would suggest that one should think before going for a used car from Volkswagen.
Tyres not up to the mark for an off-roading experience
The tyres are an important issue for the Volkswagen Cross Polo. Although they are of good quality, they may not be up to the mark for an off-roading experience. It would be better if the tyres were of a more premium brand like Michelin or Continental, as they would provide better performance and durability when off-roading.
The boot space is a great advantage of the car, but it could be reduced slightly to provide more legroom for the rear passengers. This would make the car more comfortable for the back seat passengers.
Offering stability and great handling capabilities that build a lot of confidence in the driver
The Volkswagen Cross Polo is a great car for long drives, offering stability and great handling capabilities that build a lot of confidence in the driver. The 3-pot engine may be underpowered, according to some reviews, but with 4+1 passengers, I have never felt it to be an issue. Even when unplanned overtaking, I never felt that the engine was lacking.
In terms of fuel economy, I am getting 14-15 kmpl in the city, including bumper to bumper traffic, and 18-19 kmpl on long drives, all with the AC running. The suspension is a bit on the stiffer side, but is still adequate. I bought the car a month ago and have done 2100 km in that time. The engine runs smoothly, with great gear shift ratios, and the turbo kicks in once the odo crosses 2000 rpm.
Overall, the Volkswagen Cross Polo is a great car for long drives and offers excellent performance and fuel economy.
The car has a premium and classic character
The Cross Polo has a lot of great features that make it an attractive option for car buyers. The muscular look of the car, thanks to the newly designed front and rear bumper, along with the newly designed headlights and fog lights, give the car a premium and classic character. The audio system has an impressive sound quality, and there is no need to add third party speakers or amplifiers. The buttons on the audio system also have a nice red line feature that illuminates when the headlights are turned on, adding to the overall rich look. The interiors are fitted with all black dashboard with premium plastic quality, giving it an overall sporty vibe. In terms of fuel efficiency, if driven carefully, the car gives an average of 15 km/l in city and 18.2 km/l on the highway.
Unfortunately, the Cross Polo also has some drawbacks. The boot doesn't have any lights, which is a major letdown considering the 7.5 lakh price tag. The side mirror indicators are also missing and there is a bit of a lack of legroom in the rear.
