VW Cross Polo has 14mm more height than the Polo, 17-inch alloy wheels, black plastic moulding around the wheel arches, bumpers and side sills, which help it look more rugged. It also features the roof rails, making to look more aggressive than the regular Polo.

Talking about the engine configuration, the Cross Polo will get the same engine spec offered on the regular Polo hatchback.
