Volkswagen presents its all new T-Cross

With the T-Cross, Volkswagen introduces another new SUV model, which is even shorter and therefore better suited to the city than the T-Roc, and even more compact than the Tiguan. The T-Cross is based on the Modular Transverse Matrix (MQB), which allows the driven front axle to be located well forward.

With a total vehicle length of 4.11m, the 2.56m wheelbase is comparatively generous, allowing a spacious interior with enough room for five people.

For the greatest possible versatility in the interior, the sliding rear seat can be adjusted by 14cm, allowing more passenger leg room or more luggage space.

The luggage compartment holds between 385 and 455 litres.

Thanks to a rear seat back that folds down fully or partially, in the blink of an eye it is possible to create a flat loading space with up to 1,281 litres of storage volume.

The new T-Cross has a choice of four turbocharged engines - three petrol and one diesel. The two 1.0 TSI three-cylinder petrol engines with petrol particulate filter generate 94bhp or 113bhp. The top model is the 1.5 TSI four-cylinder engine with 148bhp. Completing the range is a 1.6 TDI four-cylinder engine with 94bhp.

All engines comply with the latest Euro 6d-TEMP emission standard.

Standard equipment for the new T-Cross includes numerous driver assistance systems, which were previously reserved for higher vehicle classes.

Together with the vehicle's outstanding crash characteristics and exemplary occupant protection, these increase safety, reduce the risk of a collision and improve driving comfort.

Already included as standard equipment are the Front Assist area monitoring system with Pedestrian Monitoring and City Emergency Braking System, the lane keeping assistant Lane Assist, Hill Start Assist, the proactive occupant protection system, and the Blind Spot Detection lane change assist system with the integrated Rear Traffic Alert.

Also available as options are the Driver Alert System, automatic adaptive cruise control and Park Assist.

The new T-Cross provides the highest level of networking and connectivity with the outside world. Even the operation and customisation of the on-board functions are intuitive. Smartphones can be charged inductively, and up to four USB ports provide for digital convenience. Just like its sister model the Polo, the all new T-Cross is manufactured at the Spanish Volkswagen factory in Navarra.
