The Volkswagen Polo Robust is powered by a small 1.0-litre petrol engine.

Volkswagen has unveiled a new iteration of its popular Polo hatchback in the Brazilian market. Called the Volkswagen Polo Robust, the hatchback revisits the rugged look of the old Polo Cross and even gets a raised suspension setup.

As per reports, the new VW Polo Robust has been "developed and tested with customers in the agricultural segment." The crossover-esque version of the Polo has been raised for better ground clearance and even comes with a trailer hitch. Inside, VW Brazil has fitted the Polo Robust with vinyl seats that are easier to clean while also offering rubber floor mats.

The Volkswagen Polo Robust is powered by a small 1.0-litre petrol engine. It produces 84 BHP and 101 Nm and is paired with a standard 5-speed gearbox.

The VW Polo Robust is said to be a smaller alternative to the pickups available locally.
