New Volkswagen T-Cross
From £23,975
A fresh new look, enhanced equipment and new technology. Say hello to the brand-new 2024 Volkswagen T-Cross!
The already popular SUV has undergone a full redesign with new front and rear bumpers, IQ.Light LED Matrix headlights and brand-new eye catching colour choices.
The T-Cross provides the excellent handling of a hatchback, with the added storage space and comfort of an SUV. The smallest Volkswagen SUV in the range features a spacious and versatile interior whilst remaining compact and enjoyable to drive.
The new updates allow the T-Cross to stand out in the vast Volkswagen SUV line-up, only adding to the success of the range.
Interior Design
Experience the new T-Cross with its impressive central element - a stunning, free-standing infotainment display. Choose from a standard 20.3 cm touchscreen or upgrade to the top-of-the-range 9.2-inch display. And that's not all, each variant now comes equipped with digital instruments as standard.
Not only does the T-Cross offer state-of-the-art technology, but its dash panel has also been completely redesigned. Enjoy the same luxurious feel as the larger Volkswagen models, with soft-upholstered and high-quality surface materials.
Stay comfortable in any weather with the standard manual air conditioning system, or opt for the Air Care Climatronic automatic air conditioner with back-lit touch sliders for an added touch of convenience.
Discover a new level of sophistication and innovation in the T-Cross - it's time to elevate your driving experience.
Exterior Design
The brand-new T-Cross is available in three trim levels the Life, Style and the range-topping R-Line. This latest addition to the Volkswagen SUV family showcases a contemporary style that's bound to make a lasting impression.
The distinctive body and redesigned front styling make it stand out from the crowd. From the sleek shoulder line that runs from the front to the back, to the high-quality features on the radiator grille and headlights, every detail has been carefully crafted to make a statement. The new light strip, available on the Style trim, adds an elegant touch that runs between the headlights and the Volkswagen logo.
Not only does the exterior mirror project a cool light graphic onto the ground, but it also illuminates the area as you enter the car. And let's not forget the sleek underbody protection in stylish matt silver. The T-Cross is a true head-turner that combines style and functionality seamlessly.
The IQ.LIGHT LED matrix headlights are a brand-new, innovative Volkswagen development and can be experienced for the first time with the T-Cross.
Performance
The all-new T-Cross is currently only available as a petrol variant. There are two 1.0 TSI options with the power output ranging from 95-115 PS and a more powerful 1.5 TSI engine with an output of 150 PS. There are also three gearbox choices; 5-speed manual, 6-speed manual and the automatic 7-speed DSG.
One other element that will remain a constant throughout the T-Cross range is that all models will be very cheap to run. Even the quicker 1.5l version will remain frugal as the engine technology means that it can run on half its cylinders to help save fuel.
Safety
Safety is a huge priority with the new T-Cross. This is the first model in it’s class that can be fitted with Travel Assist which provides greater longitudinal and lateral vehicle control. The T-Cross effortlessly adjusts its speed to keep up with traffic while staying within the permitted limits. It even takes care of navigating bends and roundabouts, all thanks to the impressive capabilities of Travel Assist. Land Assist is also a great safety feature which helps to keep the vehicle in it’s lane. The new T-Cross can automatically perform stop-and-go operations when fitted with the DSG gearbox.

The T-Cross has been a real hit for Volkswagen, with 1.2 million sold worldwide since its launch in 2019.
With added new technology and a sharper exterior design alongside some upgrades which look to make it feel even more premium inside. How do these changes affect the T-Cross, though? Let’s find out.
Design
The updates to the T-Cross are quite similar to those that we’ve seen applied to other recently-updated Volkswagen models. For example, there are now LED lights fitted as standard, or you could upgrade these to more powerful Matrix versions as an option - the first time that this has been available on the T-Cross.
A noticeable change is the inclusion of a light bar which now runs across the front end of the car. It’s a feature we’ve seen on lots of the latest Volkswagens, mainly within the ID range of electric vehicles.
Interior
Volkswagen has pushed hard to make that perceived sense of quality higher in the cabin of the T-Cross. To do this, it has added a new soft-touch dashboard which looks and feels a little more high-end than the one on the previous T-Cross.
Plus, Volkswagen has included more premium materials throughout the interior of the T-Cross to help lift its overall look and feel.
Technology
You expect to find plenty of technology on any modern Volkswagen, which is probably why the number of features on the new T-Cross has been boosted for this new version. There’s a new freestanding touchscreen as well as touch sliders for the ventilation - they’re two features which we’ve seen included on the recently refreshed T-Roc, too.
All versions get a multifunction camera, too, alongside 16-inch wheels and a leather multifunction steering wheel.
Engines
Volkswagen hasn’t released the full set of engines available for the T-Cross, but has stated that they’ll be ‘TSI’ units, meaning that they’ll all be petrol versions. It’s likely that the entry-point to the range will be a 1.0-litre turbocharged unit with up to 109bhp, linked to either a six-speed manual or DSG automatic gearbox.
There’s a good chance that a more powerful 1.5-litre engine will also be available, but it’s more than likely that this will only be available with the DSG automatic.
Rivals
The new T-Cross will have a variety of rivals to go up against when it arrives on our roads. Chief among those include the Nissan Juke and Renault Captur, which both bring low-capacity engines and plenty of in-car technology.
The Citroen C3 Aircross has also been recently updated, meaning that this is yet another car in the same league as the T-Cross.
