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. 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. You sit 100mm higher up. Bit more practical than a Polo too, thanks to increased overall length and a sliding rear bench seat.And once again, we have gone to the brand’s factory in Navarra to visit the plant where the T-Cross is manufactured exclusively for Europe, together with the Volkswagen Polo and taigo; and of course, to see first-hand how the changes have affected the small SUV.
Which 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. The Tiguan is larger with a bigger boot, so might be suited better to families or those that need a bit of extra space. The T-Roc is more compact but still spacious, and you might be swung by the sportier feel. It’ll hit 0-62mph in 10.
