New VW T-Cross Now in Australia

Above: This Week’s Car Review – 2020 Mitsubishi ASX Exceed

Volkswagen’s T-Cross has arrived in showrooms priced from $27,990 – the brand’s most affordable ever SUV and the first German entrant in this compact SUV segment.

T-Cross represents the entry point of Volkswagen’s SUV range, which now runs from this urban oriented model through the T-Roc (arriving later in 2020 to complete the line-up), Tiguan, Tiguan Allspace and Touareg ranges.

T-Cross arrives in two versions – 85TSI Life ($27,990) and 85TSI Style ($30,990) – powered by the Volkswagen Group’s feisty 1.0-litre 3 cylinder turbo petrol engine that puts out 85kW and 200Nm through a 7-speed DSG transmission and the front wheels.

The T-Cross model grades represent distinct visual approaches: the Life variant is for the urban grind; the Style offers features such as alloy roof bars and bigger wheels.

For customers who want to further customize their T-Cross, it 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.

“The T-Cross takes Volkswagen into new territory,” says the brand’s Director of Customer Experience and Marketing and Jason Bradshaw.

“Previously other brands have had this segment to themselves. To say that none of these can touch the T-Cross for technology and driving efficiency is no empty boast. Now, for the first time, there is an affordable German compact SUV, one that as the Tiguan and Touareg do in their respective segments, transcends the gulf between the popular brands and those perceived as prestige.”
