Volkswagen T-CrossBLACK EDITION TSI 1.0 [100] PETROL MANUAL

The 2021 Volkswagen T-Cross stands out as a compact, versatile, and stylish crossover SUV in the growing subcompact segment. Built on the same platform as the VW Polo, the T-Cross offers an elevated driving position, smart use of interior space, and a decent blend of features for city dwellers and small families alike.

The T-Cross boasts a modern, youthful design, with bold lines and a confident stance. It’s not overly aggressive but has enough character to catch attention on the road. The large grille, LED headlights, and sculpted body give it a contemporary look, while the availability of contrasting roof colors and vibrant exterior hues adds a touch of flair.

One of the strongest points of the T-Cross is its clever use of interior space. Despite being compact, it feels roomy inside, with ample headroom and legroom for both front and rear passengers. The sliding rear bench adds flexibility, allowing you to adjust the space between passengers and the boot to prioritize either cargo or comfort.

Under the Bonnet, the 2021 T-Cross comes with a choice of engines, depending on the market. The most common options include a 1.0-liter turbocharged 3-cylinder engine that produces 95 hp, While the smaller engine offers adequate performance for city driving, it can feel a bit sluggish when pushed hard on the highway.

Handling is light and nimble, which makes it easy to maneuver through city streets and tight parking spaces. The T-Cross rides comfortably, absorbing most road imperfections well, although it can feel a bit firm over rougher surfaces. Its small footprint makes it agile in urban environments, but it's not particularly sporty when pushed through winding roads. The suspension and steering are tuned more for comfort than for spirited driving.

In terms of efficiency, the 1.0-liter turbocharged engine is particularly fuel-efficient, offering excellent economy for a vehicle of its size.

The 2021 VW T-Cross doesn’t skimp on tech or safety. It comes equipped with modern features like adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring, and automatic emergency braking. 

The infotainment system is user-friendly, with responsive touch controls and simple menu navigation. The inclusion of wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto is a big plus for tech-savvy drivers. There are also plenty of USB ports for charging devices on the go.

The boot space in the T-Cross is decent for its class, offering 385 liters of cargo room with the rear seats in place. Folding down the rear seats expands the space to 1,281 liters, which is impressive for a subcompact SUV. The sliding rear seats also help in optimizing either passenger comfort or luggage space, depending on the need.
