With the release of the updated T-Cross of the latest generation, Volkswagen confidently announced its ambitions in the B-SUV segment.

The first model of the compact crossover was released in 2019 based on the VW POLO model, a similar design of the car was used in the 2023 model.

2023 Volkswagen T-Cross Specification

2 gasoline units and one diesel unit are installed under the hood of the car:

• 1.0 liter three-cylinder TSI, with a capacity of 115 hp;
• 1.5-liter 4-cylinder TSI with a capacity of 150 hp;
• Turbodiesel TDI with a volume of 1.6 liters and a capacity of 95 hp.

The engines are paired with a 6-speed manual gearbox or a robotic 7-speed DSG DQ 200, depending on the configuration. As for the latter, the transmission is not included in the list of the best DSG models from the Volkswagen Group, but in general it leaves a positive impression, showing quite a good performance in combination with the above engines.

Despite the fact that it is a crossover, the car is offered without all-wheel drive and is available for sale exclusively in front-wheel drive versions.

The suspension in the car is quite archaic and reliable. The front axle is designed in the form of a classic McPherson, and the rear is a regular beam. Despite the incredible simplicity of the design, the car feels very confident on the road, the suspension silently works out all the unevenness of the surface. The steering does not cause any complaints either, the steering wheel is not sporty, but informative enough with a clear response and predictable control.

The Volkswagen company generously equips its cars with a wide variety of options, the T-Cross model is no exception. Already in the basic version, the Composition Color multimedia system is available with a 6.5-inch display, blind spot monitoring systems, Lane Assist and monitoring of road conditions in front of the car Front Assist.

The new player in the class fundamentally prepared to attract the attention of potential customers, deciding not to remain a middle peasant, but to compete for leadership in the segment. Thus, the T-Cross model is offered in a color scheme of 12 colors, a range of wheel rims from 16 to 18 inches and with several interior decoration variations.

Depending on the configuration, from cheaper to more expensive, the list of equipment and options becomes incredibly wide. The instrument panel of the car is equipped with a 12.5-inch LCD display with the ability to display information from the on-board computer and a navigation map.

The Volkswagen campaign advises its customers to service the brand’s cars exclusively at official service centers.
