Volkswagen Cross up! Revealed ahead of Geneva Motor Show

Following the on-going trend of smaller crossovers, German auto major, Volkswagen has now officially revealed the Cross up!, a rugged version of Volkswagen's flagship small car, the up! ahead of its premier at the upcoming Geneva Motor Show in March. The new five-door Cross up! could only be launched in the UK.

What we can see in the images are the plastic wheel arch protectors, roof rails, 16-inch alloy wheels and aggressive bumpers, helping it look like muscular and rugged. Even inside the cabin, the car now receives a new upholstery and extra chrome trim.

Mechanically the car stays the same, it carries the similar 1.0-litre three-cylinder engine with two power options- 74bhp and 54bhp.

All the models of the Cross Up! will sport the front-wheel-drive only, since it is more of an urban compact crossover than an off-roader. Whether the car is positioned above the existing up! range or a new line-up, still has to be confirmed, as this could go either way.

This is all what we have for now, stay tuned to CarDekho as we will be reporting you once it is unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show. Cheers!
