|  Volkswagen is celebrating the world premiere of a new version of the Golf at the Paris Motor Show: the CrossGolf. It merges the can-do qualities of a compact SUV with the versatility of a small MPV into a new crossover model. Like its little brother – the successful CrossPolo – the CrossGolf was also individually conceived by the experts division in matters of refinement and special vehicles at Volkswagen.
The interior trim was specially developed for the new model, including materials and coloring of the seat and door coverings and the dashboard appointments in silver metallic. The cabin has many functional features like folding tables and storage pockets The combination of comparatively high dashboard and raised seating position 7.5 cm higher than the “classic” Golf (plus 8.5 cm in the back) creates a feeling of spaciousness similar to that offered by a compact SUV. This impression reinforces the interior height of 100.7 cm (97.6 cm in back). Depending on position of the back seat, the volume of the cargo area can vary between a minimum of 395 and a maximum of 505 liters. If the back seat rests are folded down completely up to 1,450 liters of cargo volume is available. On the exterior numerous modifications distinguish the CrossGolf from the classical GolfPlus design. Especially striking here are the new CrossGolf "Ice Silver" color, new bumpers and the all-round integrated coverings from a robust as well as first-class carbon fiber in "Anthracite Satin Effect" color. The side sills, wheel arches, door frame and bumpers are covered. Technical Features: The front-wheel drive only CrossGolf is based on the Golf Plus. Characterizing the CrossGolf here are special side coverings, independent bumpers and 20 mm higher ground clearance, including 17” wheels and much more. For the European market launch in November the CrossGolf will be available with two gasoline-powered engines (1.6 + 1.4 TSI) and two turbodiesel engines (1.9 TDI + 2.0 TDI) with output ranging from 75 kW / 102 PS to 103 kW / 140 PS.
