Volkswagen T cross

Compact SUVs are becoming more and more popular, so different manufacturers are responding to this demand. An SUV-like alternative is offered for every ‘normal’ model, as is the case with Volkswagen. There was not yet an SUV-like based on the Polo, until now. In 2018 we were introduced to the T-Cross, the smallest SUV-like in Volkswagen’s model range. The model will be available at dealers in the course of 2019.

Draft version

After the car was first presented in 2016 as a convertible crossover, which dried up to a production version in 2018 as a closed five-door car. A striking design feature are the rear lights, which are connected by a large beam that extends over the entire width. As mentioned, the T-Cross shares its technical base with the Polo, which means that it is also closely related to the comparable SEAT Arona.

Practical and personal

Volkswagen promises a lot of ease of use for the T-Cross. Thanks to the relatively long wheelbase, the car should offer the largest luggage space in its class. Also according to the latest trends: the T-Cross can also be adapted to personal taste to a fairly extensive extent.
