Although there is currently just one type of the 2023 Volkswagen T-Cross available, it is available in a wide range of hues, including Polar White, Chinchilla Gray, Tribu Syringa Violet, and Romance Red.

    What could Volkswagen Philippines launch?

    A new wheel design for the subcompact crossover may be anticipated, among other things, for this new T-Cross release. For the 2023 model year, the Chinese market will receive blacked-out side mirror covers in addition to the blacked-out wheels. A more premium edition is undoubtedly in the pipeline as ambient lights were also added to the Chinese domestic market model.

    Volkswagen's three major production sites are located in Brazil, China, and Germany, and they all work on the T-Cross. The T-Cross sold about 300,000 copies globally in 2020 despite the COVID-19 epidemic, and as of March 2021, it had been formally introduced in 55 nations. Because of its amazing details and features that would undoubtedly fit the dynamic requirements and lifestyles of its owners, the subcompact SUV has seen great success in terms of both domestic and international sales.

    Outside, the Volkswagen T-Cross measures 4,218mm long, 1,760mm wide, and 1,599mm tall. The radiator grille with chrome molding, LED headlights, roof rail, rear spoiler, panoramic sunroof, and alloy wheels highlight its fashionable exterior style. The T-Cross also has front and rear fog lamps, as well as daytime running lights for increased visibility. Other exterior features include heat insulation glass, an intermittent front wiper, and an electronic outside rearview mirror with a side turn lamp.

    The SUV's interior is furnished with leather and fabric seats that can be manually adjusted in six different ways for the driver and four different ways for the front passenger. Additionally, the front center area has an armrest. Even on lengthy travels, all seats have an ergonomic design that is gentle on the back and helps to relax the back muscles. The T-Cross also has a manual air-conditioning system with a pollen filter and a rear vent for enhanced comfort.

    The T-Cross has a 9.2-inch touchscreen infotainment display with radio, CD, and MP3 player, Aux-in, USB connector, SD card slot, and four speakers as standard equipment.

    Under the SUV’s hood is a 1,498-cc Euro 6-compliant multi-point injection (MPI) gasoline engine with BlueMotion technology that helps in improving fuel economy and reducing emissions. The engine delivers a maximum power output of 113ps at 6,000rpm and maximum torque of 145Nm at 3,900rpm. The six-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive system allow the vehicle to automatically adapt to the driving style and road condition for a more convenient and smoother drive.

    Various gadgets keep the vehicle and its occupants safe. The T-Cross has front and front side airbags, as well as a head curtain, to lessen the danger of injury in the case of an accident. The electronic stabilization program with brake assistant, the anti-lock brake system, the hill hold control, the anti-slip regulation, the rear parking distance control, the rear camera, the autonomous emergency braking, the emergency data recorder, and the tire pressure monitor are additional safety features. An engine immobilizer is included to keep the car safe from thieves.
