Just like the refreshed Fox, the CrossFox too gets redesigned headlights which are slimmer and sharper, and a new chrome strip for the grille. The sides get new "Soul" 15-inch alloy wheels (16-inch optional) with 205/60 tyres, and silver inserts in the body cladding.

At the rear, VW has given the CrossFox a new bumper with repositioned reflectors and new taillight clusters.
