Volkswagen has joined the compact urban SUV segment with the T-CROSS, a front wheel drive only SUV.
T-Cross arrives in two versions – 85TSI Life ($27,990) and 85TSI Style ($30,990) plus the usual costs – powered by the Volkswagen Group’s feisty 1.0-litre 3 cylinder turbo petrol engine that puts out 85kW and 200Nm and drives the front wheels through a 7-speed DSG transmission.
T-Cross is quite stylish and attracted a ,lot of attention when I drove it. People really liked the style
In the quest for individual flair T-Cross, can be specified with the addition of several value-driven option packages; including a Driver Assistance Package for the Life model grade, a Sound and Vision Package which includes a Beats Sound System and Digital Cockpit for either model grade, and an R-Line package for the Style grade.
It seems that many car brands now offer ta variation of the three cylinder turbo petrol engine for their Urban SUVs. The T-CROSS is definitely worth a test drive.
