Volkswagen T-Cross India

The Volkswagen T-Cross compact SUV will also arrive in India in 2020 and will rival the likes of Hyundai Creta and Renault Captur.

The long-awaited Volkswagen T-Cross compact SUV has finally been revealed. This compact SUV will also arrive in India in 2020 and will rival the likes of Hyundai Creta and Renault Captur. It will first go on sale in the European markets where it will be priced at 17,975 Euros (14.99 lakh at current exchange rates).

The new T-Cross is based on the Volkswagen’s new MQB AO platform that also underpins the new VW Polo, Audi A1 and Volkswagen Virtus. While the European-spec model is 4.11 meters in length, the India-spec model will ride on a longer wheelbase and will be longer to create more space inside the cabin. The India-spec model will be based on the heavily localised MQB AO IN platform. The overall design is largely similar to the bigger VW SUVs and it looks like a smaller version of the T-ROC.
