Volkswagen T-Cross is an SUV or a crossover based on the Polo. Fun and Cross were slightly raised Polos with plastic panels around the fenders, bumpers and doors, but the T-Cross looks different enough from the Polo for some people not to make the association. On the one hand Volkswagen T-Cross looks like T-Roc with a straight back instead of a slanted one. On the other hand the boxy shape made me think of the Suzuki Ignis, from which the T-Cross is much bigger. In real life T-Cross is about the size of Peugeot 2008. Since it’s based on the Polo, Volkswagen T-Cross is smaller than the Golf-based T-Roc. T-Cross is 54 mm longer than Polo, and 138 mm taller. Wheelbase remains the same. The T-Cross is about a cm wide, than the Polo.
Starting price: 18 000 euro

@cyclon70 4 года назад

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?

@MarekDrives 4 года назад

Let me put it this way: back in the communist era Poles would pack stuff on the roofs of their Fiats 126s (if they were privileged enough to own one), stuff 4 people inside, and drive all the way to former Yugoslavia for vacation. To answer your question: you can fit half a basketball team in the T-Cross, but why bother?

No spare tire? It looks like there is a well that could accommodate a spare tire even if one is not offered as standard. Can you report on this in your reviews?

@MarekDrives 5 лет назад

In Poland a mini spare is a 120 euro option. I suspect it's not offered as standard in most West European markets, because the roadside assistance services are abundant, and the spare would eat up some of that "class-leading 385 litre" boot space.

@Raniz88 5 лет назад

Don't need a spare tire. Have road assistant

@alliejr 5 лет назад

Ran001011 Never heard of roadside assistance that also stocks every kind of replacement tire for every vehicle. But... you do you. And fix a flat is not gonna fix the kind of tire failure that sends you to the side of the road. It only fixes a slow leak nail damage.

@uncutfishing 5 лет назад

I am, or, rather, was in the market for a small SUV, but this, just IMHO, is neither small nor, more importantly, an SUV. Or, and this is likely, I hopelessly misunderstand the term "SUV". BTW, I'm going for Ignis. It's no Jeep (or Jimny) either, but at least it's got (on demand / part-time) AWD, which is more important than added ground clearance and is a must for an "SUV" IMHO. Plus, it's 41 cm shorter than T-Cross. Edit. Just to be clear: I would not consider a VW purchase even if they did offer a small AWD SUV.

@@Fran_Tluanga Well, this is all subjective. To me all WVs are generic, faceless, unimaginative buckets on wheels. They are everybloodywhere you turn round here :). But many people love them and that's absolutely fine. BTW, if I wanted real premium quality, I would buy a second hand premium car. My budget is far from sufficient for a premium new car (and I'm tired of old ones). Plus, VW is not premium brand. Personal opinion.

@scratchy996 5 лет назад

They may look like an afterthought, but that allows them to be placed up higher, in your field of view, so you don't have to take your eyes off the road.

@stekkky 5 лет назад

The Polo and T-cross have the central displays high enough so you don't have to take your eyes off the road, but without ruining the dash design. In the recent models, BMW is also bringing the dash line higher and lowering their "tablets" so that they look more integrated and not as an afterthought.

@@MarekDrives I'm asking about the headlight unit just as an example. It would be great to include in your reviews the part prices of common replaced parts, such as brake pads, brake discs, exhaust systems, and in case of accident, the part price of a door, fender, bumper etc. After all, real life starts after the review.
