Volkswagen’s T-Cross, the smallest member of Volkswagen’s “T” family of SUVs, has been updated. The T-Cross has also been the best-selling imported model for VW locally with over 36 000 units sold
What’s new?
The T-Cross shares its MQB A0 platform with the sixth-generation Polo hatchback. The changes to the latest version are mainly a new fresh design and new technology.
Exterior:
From the outside, the updated T-Cross is immediately recognisable by the new design of its front and rear with new integrated LED headlights, LED daytime running lights and LED taillight clusters.
The IQ.LIGHT LED matrix headlights are a completely new Volkswagen development and are offered for the first time on the T-Cross and includes 24 LEDs per headlight module. This is all part of the IQ.LIGHT package, which is standard on the T-Cross Style and R-Line.
The T-Cross Life comes standard with 16-inch Nottingham alloy wheels and features electric folding mirrors with projection lighting for added convenience.
The Style derivative comes equipped with 17-inch Manila alloy wheels, an illuminated strip between the headlights and chrome roof rails.
Three new, fresh colours have been added to the model range: the solid colour Grape Yellow, Clear Blue Metallic and Kings Red Metallic.
Interior:
The central element in the interior of the new T-Cross is the free-standing infotainment display. The standard touchscreen measures 8-inches diagonally.
In addition, all derivatives are now offered with digital cockpit as standard. The dash panel in the T-Cross has also undergone a complete redesign. As in larger Volkswagen models, the dash panel features soft-touch upholstered and significantly higher-quality surface materials. The same applies to the front door trims.
The T-Cross Life derivative standard features include an 8-inch Composition Colour Radio paired with an 8-inch Digital Cockpit with App Connect for a modern infotainment set-up.
Additional features include front and rear Park Distance Control (PDC), cruise control for effortless driving, black roof rails for added versatility and inductive charging for convenient, wireless power on the go.
Inside, the T-Cross Style offers sports seats for added comfort, a 10-inch Digital Cockpit Pro for an advanced digital display experience, and a 2-zone Climatronic air conditioning system for personalised climate control.
Prices:
T-Cross Life 1.0 TSI DSG (R462 200), T-Cross Style 1.0 TSI DSG (R501 300) and the T-Cross R-Line 1.0 TSI DSG (R533 100).
Volkswagen has expanded the new Tiguan model line-up with the addition of two new engines, a 2.0 TDI with 110kW and a 2.0 TSI with 140kW. Both engines are offered with a 7-speed DSG transmission.
DFSK South Africa announced that effective immediately, DFSK will be extending its warranty offering on its new DSFK KO1S Bakkie and DSFK C35 Panel Van to a 50 000km / 2-year warranty for all new customers ensuring greater peace of mind and customer satisfaction.
The challenge for us is to maintain our Dealer of the Year status in the future as it symbolises the effort we put in to create the best environment for our customers and our staff.
