Volkswagen T-Cross Facelift To Be Unveiled In August 2021 – Report

Volkswagen had introduced the T-Cross compact SUV in February 2019. The company is now preparing a mid-life facelift of the popular SUV, which is reportedly to be introduced in August this year. It will be introduced as the 2022 model, and will retain the 200 TSI and 250 TSI engines.

The Volkswagen T-Cross facelift will come with new logo, which was introduced in Brazil on Nivus. Not just logo, the updated will also share the steering wheel from the Nivus. In terms of styling, the updated T-Cross will have a revised front grille and updated front bumper. The changes will be minimal in nature, but will give a much needed freshness to a 3 year old product.

The Volkswagen T-Cross facelift will retain 1.0-litre and 1.4-litre TSI engines. The former is capable of producing 116bhp of power and 200Nm of torque. With Ethanol combination, the power output rises to 128bhp. Transmission choices include a 6-speed manual and a 6-speed torque convertor automatic. The 1.4-litre TSI petrol engine produces 150bhp of power at 4,500rpm and a peak torque of 250Nm. Power is transmitted to the front wheels via a 6-speed automatic gearbox.

For people not in the know, the VW T-Cross is based on the brand’s new MQB AO platform that also underpins the new VW polo and the Virtus. In fact, the India-spec Volkswagen Taigun and the Skoda Kushaq will also be based on this platform.

Volkswagen will launch the Taigun mid-sized SUV in the Indian market by mid-2021. The new model will be based on the MQB AO IN platform, which is basically the localised version of the MQB AO. It will be positioned against the likes of the Hyundai Creta and Kia Seltos. It will be offered with two engine options – a 110bhp, 1.0-litre turbocharged petrol with 6MT and 6AT, and a 147bhp, 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol with 7-speed DSG.
