Volkswagen To Unveil T-Cross Compact SUV In 2018
Volkswagen will unveil its new compact SUV, the T-Cross in 2018.
German automaker Volkswagen recently revealed the T-Roc SUV. The company will also unveil another compact SUV, the T-Cross in the second half of 2018.
The T-Cross will be one of the 19 SUVs to be introduced by Volkswagen before 2020. The compact SUV is based on the T-Cross Breeze concept showcased at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show.
Volkswagen is likely to retain the T-Cross moniker for the production model. The compact SUV is expected to feature a wide grille, 20-inch alloy wheels and wide wheel arches for a rugged look similar to the T-Roc.
The T-Cross compact SUV will be based on the Volkswagen Group's MQB A0 platform and is expected to borrow parts and engines from the Polo hatchback.

The entry-level variant of the T-Cross is likely to draw power from a 1-litre turbocharged three-cylinder petrol engine. The engine will be coupled to a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox delivering power to the front wheels.
A larger four-cylinder turbocharged engine is also expected to be offered with the production-spec T-Cross. Volkswagen claimed that the concept model could sprint from 0-100km/h in 10.3 seconds before topping out at 187km/h and a fuel efficiency of 20.04km/l.
The T-Cross in its concept form was a front-wheel-drive model, but the production version might be offered with an all-wheel-drive system. The new compact SUV will rival the likes of Audi Q2 when launched in 2018.
