Volkswagen introduces the Cross up! ahead of the Geneva Motor Show


The small city car gained a tougher look thanks to the new silver roof rails, black plastic cladding for the wheel arches, side skirts and the lower part of the front and rear bumpers. Also new are the 16 inch wheels with a tire size of 185/50 with a higher suspension.

Mechanically the Cross version is equal to the normal version, with the same three-cylinder gasoline engine producing 75hp (55kW) mated to a five-speed manual gearbox.

Volkswagen didn't reveal if there were any changes to the car's traction control system, so we can't say if you can go to a dirt road or not.

On the inside we have a special trim for the seats in red or dark gray, besides a new matching instrument panel, floor mats, a leather package for the steering wheel, gear knob and handbrake, plus chrome surrounds for the air vents and speedometer.

The public presentation will take place at the Geneva Motor Show., with sales starting in late summer from 13.950 euros ($18.650 or £11.800).

Volkswagen Cross Up! testing in the snow


Back in 2011, in the Frankfurt Motor Show, Volkswagen introduced several models based on the little city car, Up!. One of them was the Cross Up!, an all-terrain version of the small car.


Now CarScoop has revealed pictures of the new ultra small "SUV" testing in the snow. The car is similar to the concept introduced at the beginning of the year (below you can see more photos of that vehicle that was shown in the Geneva Motor Show), and it stands out particularly for its 'off-road' appearance via the black plastic extensions on the fenders, bumpers with specific design, roof rails and 16inch wheels that help raise the car 15mm.

Engines choices will probably be the same 1.0liter three-cylinder petrol engine driving the front wheels with 60 and 75hp. Later, an 1.2TDI engine with 75hp might be an option.
