It’s hard to say whether it’s the consumers or the car manufacturers driving the surge of SUVs on our roads. The love for SUVs started with the automakers, but now consumers can’t seem to get enough of them.
Competition is fierce in the SUV market, and the Volkswagen T-Cross is ready to make a mark. It falls in the category of vehicles that are neither too small nor too big, measuring 410.7 cm long and 155.8 cm tall, slightly larger than its sibling, the VW Polo.
Felix Kaschutzke, the T-Cross project manager for sales and marketing, emphasizes the car’s versatility, targeting young, small families who value adaptability.
The T-Cross offers various engine options to suit different preferences. From the base 95 hp 1.0-liter petrol model with a modest acceleration to the 150 hp 1.5-liter petrol model, the range caters to diverse needs, including a 95 hp 1.6-liter diesel version for economical fuel consumption.
In terms of safety and technology, the T-Cross incorporates modern features like emergency braking, lane-keep assist, and a blind-spot warning system. The infotainment system includes a 6.5-inch sat-nav screen upgradeable to an eight-inch display, along with convenient features like up to four USB ports and a wireless charging dock. The 300 W eight-speaker Beats stereo with a boot-mounted subwoofer ensures a quality audio experience.
The T-Cross embodies a unique personality while blending traits from other models in the lineup. If it lives up to its promises, it is poised to succeed in the competitive SUV market.
