Is the VW T-Cross worth buying?
Costs, insurance groups, MPG and CO2 We reckon the 1. TSI 115 Match version of the VW T-Cross offers the best value for money. It’s slightly cheaper than an entry-level Ford Puma, but there are more affordable versions of the Nissan Juke and Seat Arona available. Our Verdict: VW T-Cross vs T-Roc Also, the pricing tends to be more accessible, making it an attractive option for those looking for an affordable, well-rounded SUV. On the other hand, the VW T-Roc offers a more dynamic and stylish approach to the SUV category. Although, it has at a slightly higher price point.The VW T-Cross is spacious and good to drive (although the Ford Puma is more fun), but if you’re looking at top-of-the-range versions, consider the more sophisticated T-Roc, which is likely to be a better option. If you do buy a T-Cross, we recommend the 1. TSI 95 petrol engine and mid-range Match spec.We think the T-Cross is a great buy in its cheaper forms, but if you’re looking higher up the price range, you’ll probably be better off with a VW T-Roc.Being the larger of the two, the T-Roc is the better option if you need more bootspace, stronger engines and increased cabin room. But if size doesn’t matter to you, the smaller Polo-based T-Cross is the one for you.
Which one is better, T-Roc or T-Cross?
Being the larger of the two, the T-Roc is the better option if you need more bootspace, stronger engines and increased cabin room. But if size doesn’t matter to you, the smaller Polo-based T-Cross is the one for you. Comparing the Taigo vs. T-Cross is a tricky spot to be in – both cars are quality family vehicles with loads of appeal. The Taigo tends to be cheaper than the T-Cross, so you might be tempted by those savings, but the T-Cross does feel the more practical option.
Is the T-Cross good for long journeys?
As it turned out, though, we needn’t have worried. The T-Cross is a pretty small car – only 136mm longer than a Polo – but it feels like a much larger vehicle when on the move. In fact, the near-100-mile trip to Cambridge from our home in South West London was completed in a very comfortable two hours. Where it comes into its own. You would, however, buy a T-Cross for practicality. It’s only slightly longer than the Polo but seems a lot more spacious and the rear bench can be slid backwards and forwards for more legroom or space in the boot.At least it looks different to the Polo… The T-Cross rides on the same MQB platform, uses mostly the same engines and is built in the same Spanish factory as the Polo, but is ever so slightly longer and taller.On the other hand, while the Golf is good around town, the T-Cross, aided by its smaller size and higher driving position, is even better.
