Volkswagen T Cross review | Small SUV King has landed in Ireland 

@Bob Flavin As you are describing headroom, kneeroom and so on, it actually would be nice to mention how tall you are.

Bob rocks,. Fair and fun reviews!

I dunno but the fact that you can increase the price of a 22k car by almost 50% with extras really annoys me. It just seems senseless.

Once again VW blurs the line in size and space between two models, I wonder how many potential T-Roc buyers would consider the T-Cross instead?

Is that the Curragh Bob? I think you might have inadvertently made Sammy Naughton famous at 00:34! Great review and great content as always !

great review, just a quick note your mobile would not constantly charge, it would auto stop charging once fully charged even though still plugged in.

At entry level, it might make sense but not a fully loaded car at over €30k! I notice some new camera angles there 👍

Bob quoted average fuel consumption of 6.7 l/100km, whereas the screen said it was 6.9l/100km. Had it changed while he was speaking? I wouldn't expect it to improve whilst parked up. This equates to 34 mpg and Bob thinks this is good for a 1 litre , 2 wheel drive car? This is the same as my 2.2 litre Audi 90 would average, and every Golf GTi I ever owned. I like Bob Flavin, but the lesson here for me is to treat any review with caution. i would expect well into the 40s for a car like this, which I think is an SUV for people who can't afford an SUV

I'm a bit late to find this review. In Australia, a fully loaded 85TSI Polo is AUD $31K, whereas the equivalent T-Cross is a whopping $39K. I think I'd sooner have a base model Tiguan or a mid-spec T-Roc. Great review as always.

I think you didn´t say that you can actually slide the whole back seats together to increase boot space. It's weird, because it's an actual useful feature and something different from any other car in the same segment. Maybe in Ireland they didn´t offer that "sildeable" back seat?

Really interested in buying this car! Do you know whether with me, my wife and three high school youngsters and the boot full of luggage the 1.0 115 TSI with manual 6 speed gearbox would be adequate for motorways? Also engine weatherstrip where windshield wipers are, looks too narrow at the sides, are there adequate sink holes there to avoid water ingress in the engine bay?

As usual it would be really useful if the presenter told us what his height and inside leg measurement is so we would know if we too would fit so well. My legs are very long so trying to find a car that is suitable is very hard. If the presenter mentioned those two things it would save me hours of trekking round dealerships testing for myself. Otherwise great review, thank you for sharing.

Nice review mate 😉👍

But what is the difference to the T-roc? Which one would you choose?

Please review the polo with the new 1.5tsi dsg

Looks like a Tiguan by the way. It might look small in person but...

Wow, 07:07 what a powerful press!!!

I don't think it's only 85 hp turbo (!) if weakest is 95hp and with dsg it goes up to 115hp.

Great review, nice little suv. I wonder if vw just killed its polo with this one and golf variants with the t-roc .

Nice review. I don't think there is an 85 HP engine in T-Cross though.

Are you still editing that white Citroen

Could you clarify the power output Bob, 85 horsepower quoted at 2min 57sec and again through the video at various times, I think you mixed up the KW and Horsepower, 85Kw = 115PS approx

I just watched Bob's review of the 8 series BMW and don't understand how he can view 6.9//100km as good in a 1 litre vw but 7.4 l/100 km not very good in an 8 series BMW ? I think almost 32 mpg in an 8 series is pretty bloody good. No idea what engine was in the BMW because I'm not sure it was ever mentioned but it would be a minimum of 3 litres. Baffling

I particularly like the Styling and better the Polo

Check out standard spec in T-Cross R Line.

I’ve been looking for couple of years now , Bob Where is the far side ?

great review Bob!

Bob you really really like that cat.. great review but I thoroughly agree with previous comments.... you would need therapy or at least a brain scan to pay €33,000 for a lawnmower engine strapped to a polo on steroids.... INSANE

That’s the 115 HP engine Bob not the 85hp the same car is in Gerry cumiskey motors and is down as the 115hp.

No 1.5tsi???

Not 85horsepower but 85kw.. = 115 horsepower

And don't get me started on delivery charges.

Checked this out earlier in the week. It's something I am considering. The "haters" out there tend to find something to complain about no matter what. I currently have a Polo which I am really feeling like I have to crawl into.....semi bad back. I can plop down in this a heck of a lot easier. I also took my golf bag in with me to the dealer and if I push the back seats forward I can get the bag behind the seats as long as I take the driver out.....not bad. If they ever find a fix for that blasted 1.5 engine issue I would rather have a T-roc or Skoda Karoq......but I will definitely think about buying this car. We put less than 6,000 miles a year on the car.....so the smaller engine isn't likely an issue. I don't want any of the extras, just don't need them so I can get one of these with the DSG for close to £20,000.

He's quite tall just over 6ft

115bhp or PS

Too pricey...car makers have lost the run of themselves and then scratch their heads wondering how car sales are down.

nice

Nothing special in that car, probably does badly in the moose test like almost every VW car nowadays when they are not willing to spend a dime on the chassis setup.

85kw not HP.

Oh no its another VAG group suv!

Great review as always but just another vw over priced shit box more to go wrong as usual with vw cars

Seat Arona is better

dont know why you would buy a car like this...

Yet another boring crossover from VW! Don’t get me started on the price. I’m sure it will sell well, bought by people who have no clue about cars!

Ah no not another fossil crossover
