MANILA: The refreshed Volkswagen T-Cross is now available in the United Kingdom (UK).

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • What are the improvements made on the refreshed Volkswagen T-Cross?

    The updated T-Cross features a revamped styling, upgraded standard equipment, and new technology features.
  • Will the refreshed T-Cross be available in the Philippines?

    There is no announcement yet from the brand’s local distributor on whether the refreshed T-Cross will be available here.
  • First unveiled in July 2023, the updated T-Cross features a revamped styling, upgraded standard equipment, and new technology features.

    For the first time, the T-Cross is equipped with the IQ.Light LED matrix headlights. It is also designed with new LED tail light clusters.

    Three new hues are added in the UK-spec T-Cross’ body color range – Grape Yellow, Clear Blue Metallic, and Kings Red Metallic.

    Inside, the crossover comes with a free-standing infotainment display. Similar to larger Volkswagen models, the dash panel of the new T-Cross is also designed with soft-upholstered and premium surface materials.

    The spacious interior can accommodate up to five people, while the luggage compartment provides up to 1,281 liters of storage space.

    Volkswagen also increased the towbar load of the T-Cross from 55 to 75 kilograms (kg). Meanwhile, the maximum load that can be placed vertically on the detachable towbar is increased by 20 kg. As a result, the vehicle now provides greater scope for towing and carrying loads such as electric bikes.

    The T-Cross also now comes standard with Travel Assist, allowing the vehicle to regulate its speed based on the traffic ahead and the permitted speed. 

    Another additional driver assistance system is Lane Assist, which aids in keeping the vehicle in its lane.

    Since its global debut in 2018, the T-Cross has sold over 1.2 million units worldwide, making it one of the best-selling crossovers today.

    The crossover has also won numerous awards from different international organizations due to its remarkable design and engineering excellence.

    In 2019, the T-Cross bagged Best Compact SUV Award at the Business Car Awards in the UK, the Best Exterior Volume Brand Award at the Frankfurt Motor Show in Germany, and the Compact SUV of the Year Award at the UOL Carros and L'Auto Preferita in Brazil.

    A year later, it was named the Small SUV of the Year in the 2020 Continental Tires Irish Vehicle of the Year in Ireland. The T-Cross also took home the Compact Family Vehicle title at the fifth annual Cars.co.za Consumer Awards in South Africa.

    In the Philippines, the T-Cross was officially launched in 2021. There is no announcement yet from the brand’s local distributor on whether the refreshed T-Cross will be introduced in the country.
