The newest member of the VW family is here and it is also the smallest representative of the ever expanding SUV clan from Wolfsburg. We are talking about the much awaited Volkswagen T-Cross. Unveiled on the same day in three countries - Amsterdam, Brazil and China -, the T-Cross is based on the modular transverse matrix (MQB) A0 platform and will soon be available in these markets to customers.
The SUV will be available in two wheelbase options, with emerging markets such as India likely to get the long wheelbase option and developed markets getting the smaller, more compact variant. The European variant’s total vehicle length of 4.11 metres and 2.56-metre wheelbase seems generous on paper, and good for enough room for five people.
Design elements on the new T-Cross are uniquely Volkswagen and seem inspired from its much larger siblings such as the Touareg and the Tiguan. Up front, the sleek headlamps with integrated LED DRLs give the T-Cross a modern appeal, complimenting the butch front facia. Enhancing its urban appeal further are the C-shaped taillamps at the back and the connecting LED strips across the bootlid.
