Set to make its debut in October,
the VW T-Cross test car pictured here tries to disguise itself in places as the
bigger T-Roc, including the cladding on the bumpers and lights all around.
The final production version will feature
square-shaped taillights connected with a light bar across the rear end.
The T-Cross will be VW’s fourth SUV in its European
range and the most affordable of the lot, as it will slot beneath the existing
T-Roc. According to the company, the new VW baby SUV will be 4,107 mm-long
and 1,558 mm-tall, which means it’s slightly larger than the Polo supermini. The
two models are based on the same MQB A0 platform, with VW claiming that the
T-Cross will offer a spacious interior and a class-leading luggage space of up
to 455 liters.
Set to go against models like the Nissan Juke and
the Renault Captur, the new VW T-Cross will be offered with three petrol and
one diesel engine options. The first two petrol models will be powered by the
company’s 1.0-liter TSI unit with 95 PS and 115 PS, while the third one will use
the 1.5-liter TSI with 150 PS. The single diesel TDI model will come with 95 PS.
Transmission options will include both manual and
dual-clutch automatic gearboxes. All models will be offered with front-wheel
drive only. VW will reveal the final production version of the T-Cross this
October, with sales set to begin in Europe in spring of 2019.
