The Volkswagen T-Cross is a subcompact crossover SUV (B-segment) manufactured by the German automaker Volkswagen. It is based on the MQB A0 platform shared with the Polo Mk6, and was officially launched in April 2019. It is positioned below the T-Roc and alongside the Taigo/Nivus, but above Tera.

Overview

The T-Cross started as a replacement for a cancelled project of a small SUV based on the Volkswagen Taigun concept which was showcased in São Paulo in 2012. It is an SUV based on the Volkswagen Up! with a length of under 3.9 m destined for Europe, Brazil and India, and was planned to be on sale in 2016 after the project was green-lit in 2012.{{Cite web|title=Report - VW pleased with response for Taigun, green lights it for production|url=https://indianautosblog.com/vw-taigun-enters-production-by-2015-p53798|access-date=2020-08-19|website=Indianautosblog|date=3 November 2012}}{{Cite web|title=Volkswagen Taigun Concept 2012 review|url=https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/volkswagen/taigun-concept-2012|access-date=2020-08-19|website=Autocar|language=en}} In 2016, Volkswagen cancelled the plan of producing the Taigun after an internal study concluded that its dimension was too small.{{Cite web|last=Radu|first=Mihnea|date=2016-02-09|title=VW Taigun Canceled Because It's Too Small, New SUV Concept to Debut in Geneva|url=https://www.autoevolution.com/news/vw-taigun-canceled-because-it-s-too-small-new-suv-concept-debuts-in-geneva-104500.html|access-date=2020-08-19|website=autoevolution|language=en}}{{Cite web|title=VW Taigun compact SUV cancelled - Report|url=https://indianautosblog.com/vw-taigun-compact-suv-cancelled-p219101|access-date=2020-08-19|website=Indianautosblog|date=16 February 2016}} Volkswagen shifted its focus onto developing a Polo-based small SUV instead, which eventually spawned the T-Cross.{{Cite web|date=2016-02-15|title=Volkswagen Taigun SUV production cancelled - report|url=https://paultan.org/2016/02/15/volkswagen-taigun-suv-production-cancelled-report/|access-date=2020-08-19|website=Paul Tan's Automotive News|language=en-US}} The Taigun nameplate is being reused as a rebadged long-wheelbase T-Cross for the Indian market.{{Cite web|last=Volkswagen|title=VW Taigun Returns As Small Crossover With T-Cross Looks|url=https://www.motor1.com/news/396482/2020-vw-taigun-crossover-revealed/|access-date=2020-03-05|website=Motor1.com|language=en}}

In 2016, the T-Cross was previewed as a concept car called the VW T-Cross Breeze at the Geneva Motor Show. This vehicle was, in contrast to the production version, a four-seater convertible with a fabric top. The T-Cross Breeze was {{convert|4.13|m|in|1}} long, {{convert|1.80|m|in|1}} wide and {{convert|1.56|m|in|1}} high. The concept vehicle was powered by a 1.0-litre TSI engine with {{Convert|81|kW|0|abbr=on}} and {{Convert|175|Nm|0|abbr=on}} of torque.

The production version of the T-Cross was officially launched on 25 October 2018 simultaneously in three cities located in three continents – Amsterdam, Shanghai and São Paulo – demonstrating T-Cross's nature as a global product.{{Cite web|title=World Premiere of the all-new Volkswagen T-Cross|url=https://www.volkswagenag.com/en/news/2018/10/Volkswagen_T-Cross_World_Premiere.html|access-date=2020-08-19|website=www.volkswagenag.com}} The model is produced in China and Brazil with a modified length of 4.2 m and a longer wheelbase of 2.65 m shared with the Škoda Kamiq and Volkswagen Virtus, with the goal of improving interior space.{{cite web|last=Gregor Hebermehl, Holger Wittich, Peter Wolkenstein|date=2018-10-25|title=VW T-Cross (2019): Geräumiger SUV auf Polo-Basis|url=https://www.auto-motor-und-sport.de/news/vw-t-cross-2019/|access-date=2018-11-06|periodical=Auto-motor-und-sport.de}} These models also have different front fascias and steering wheels from the variant sold in Europe.{{Cite web|url=https://g1.globo.com/carros/noticia/2019/02/19/volkswagen-lanca-t-cross-no-brasil-compare-com-rivais.ghtml|title = Volkswagen lança T-Cross no Brasil de R$ 84.990 a R$ 109.990; compare com rivais| date=19 February 2019 }}{{clear|left}}

Debuted in Amsterdam, the T-Cross is positioned below the T-Roc in Volkswagen Europe SUV line-up and acts as an entry-level model.{{Cite web|last=T-Cross|first=Volkswagen|title=Watch VW Unveil The First-Ever T-Cross SUV|url=https://www.motor1.com/news/273406/vw-t-cross-debut-livestream/|access-date=2020-08-19|website=Motor1.com|language=en}} The vehicle is built together with the Volkswagen Polo at Volkswagen Navarra S.A. in Pamplona, Spain.{{Cite web |url=http://www.volkswagen-newsroom.com/en/press-releases/the-new-t-cross-will-be-manufactured-in-volkswagen-navarra-3924 |title=The new T-Cross will be manufactured in Volkswagen Navarra |access-date=2019-12-28 |archive-date=2020-08-05 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200805075355/https://www.volkswagen-newsroom.com/en/press-releases/the-new-t-cross-will-be-manufactured-in-volkswagen-navarra-3924 |url-status=dead }}

Although the T-Cross is only slightly smaller than the Golf-based T-Roc, VW is marketing the T-Cross as the more practical and family-oriented car, as Volkswagen expects the T-Cross to appeal to young families and older demographics due to its tall roof and its high driving position.{{Cite web|title=VW T-Cross review: TDI driven|url=https://www.carmagazine.co.uk/car-reviews/volkswagen/t-cross/|access-date=2020-08-19|website=CAR Magazine|language=en}}

Four engines have been announced for the launch model, and only one of them is a diesel, which is 1.6-litre TDI four-cylinder unit with {{convert|95|PS|hp kW|0|abbr=on}}. There are two versions of the 1.0-litre TSI turbo petrol three-cylinder, with either {{convert|95|PS|hp kW|0|abbr=on}} or {{convert|115|PS|hp kW|0|abbr=on}}, and a range-topping 1.5-litre TSI petrol with {{convert|150|PS|hp kW|0|abbr=on}}.{{Cite news|last=Briscoe|first=Neil|title=Volkswagen's smallest SUV, the new T-Cross, unveiled in three cities at once|url=https://www.irishtimes.com/life-and-style/motors/volkswagen-s-smallest-suv-the-new-t-cross-unveiled-in-three-cities-at-once-1.3680835|access-date=2020-08-19|newspaper=The Irish Times|language=en}}{{Cite web |url=http://www.volkswagen-newsroom.com/en/press-releases/world-premiere-of-the-all-new-t-cross-volkswagen-expands-its-family-of-suvs-4319 |title=World Premiere of the all-new T-Cross: Volkswagen expands its family of SUVs |access-date=2019-12-28 |archive-date=2020-09-23 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200923121943/https://www.volkswagen-newsroom.com/en/press-releases/world-premiere-of-the-all-new-t-cross-volkswagen-expands-its-family-of-suvs-4319 |url-status=dead }} It is available with a 5- or 6-speed manual, and a 7-speed DSG transmission. All T-Cross variants are front-wheel drive as its Polo-sourced underpinnings do not support an all-wheel drive configuration. It was delivered to the customers in April 2019.

The T-Cross went on sale in Turkey in March 2022.

Unveiled on 25 October 2018 and sold from April 2019, the T-Cross built in São José dos Pinhais plant in Brazil is a long-wheelbase version one, sharing the 2.65 m wheelbase with the Virtus which stretches its length to 4.19 m while keeping it on the MQB A0 platform.{{Cite web|last=T-Cross|first=Volkswagen|title=Volkswagen T-Cross terá preços entre R$ 84.990 e R$ 109.990|url=https://motor1.uol.com.br/news/305930/volkswagen-tcross-precos-versoes-brasil/|access-date=2020-08-19|website=Motor1.com|language=pt}}

The Latin American T-Cross is available with several engine options, including 1.0-litre TSI making {{convert|128|hp|PS kW|0|abbr=on}} used in the Brazil-made Polo and Virtus serving as an entry option, while the high-end trims is equipped with 1.4-litre TSI engine capable of {{convert|150|hp|PS kW|0|abbr=on}} produced in São Carlos, São Paulo. The São José dos Pinhais plant will also manufacture the T-Cross with 1.6-litre MSI engine with {{convert|110|hp|PS kW|0|abbr=on}} of power output dedicated for exports to other Latin American countries and LHD African countries. It is available with a 6-speed manual transmission for the lowest trim, while the other trims solely available with a 6-speed torque converter automatic transmission. The Brazilian-made T-Cross used torsion beam for the rear suspension, sharing its suspension configuration with the Virtus with specific calibrations for an SUV model.{{Cite web|last=Redação|title=Novo Volkswagen T-Cross: revelado o primeiro SUV compacto da marca|url=https://motor1.uol.com.br/news/273401/lancamento-volkswagen-tcross-2019-suv/|access-date=2020-08-19|website=Motor1.com|language=pt}}

While the Brazilian-made T-Cross has a longer wheelbase compared to the European version, the engineering team focused on making a larger space and legroom for the second row passengers. As the result, the capacity of the boot was reduced. While the European T-Cross carries between 385 and 455 litres (rear seats unfolded, depends on the rear seat recline position), the Brazilian model is only capable of 373–420 litres. This is also the case for the Chinese T-Cross and Tacqua, being the long-wheelbase version of the T-Cross.

In February 2025, the T-Cross reached the 500,000th unit produced in Brazil.{{cite web |url=https://www.autossegredos.com.br/mercado/vw-registra-500-mil-unidades-do-t-cross-fabricadas-no-brasil/ |title=VW registra 500 mil unidades do T-Cross fabricadas no Brasil |website=Autos Segredos |date=2025-02-25 |lang=pt-BR}}

== Mexico ==

The T-Cross was introduced in Mexico in September 2019 and was imported from Brazil. It uses a 1.6-litre engine coupled with the Tiptronic six speed automatic transmission. It is the second car in Volkswagen's Mexican lineup to use the MQB A0 platform. It also comes with a 6.5" Composition Media and Apple CarPlay infotainment system, six airbags, ABS brakes and electronic stability control, and automatic post collision braking is available in all versions. It obtained a five star rating by Latin NCAP. It arrived to the market in Mexico in 2019.{{Cite web|url=https://www.motorpasion.com.mx/industria/volkswagen-t-cross-precios-versiones-equipamiento-mexico|title = Volkswagen T-Cross: Precios, versiones y equipamiento en México|date = 18 September 2019}}

The Brazilian-made T-Cross was briefly sold alongside the Indian-made Taigun, which went on sale in February 2023.

It features a different front and rear bumpers to adapt with the Chinese market taste and trends. It is available in two engine options, which include 1.4-litre TSI which makes {{convert|148|hp|PS kW|0|abbr=on}} and 1.5-litre MPI with {{convert|113|hp|PS kW|0|abbr=on}} of power output.

The twin model of the T-Cross for the Chinese market is named the Tacqua. Manufactured and marketed by FAW-VW, the Tacqua bears more resemblance with the Brazilian-made T-Cross in terms of exterior appearance, with the exception of the Tacqua R-Line model which is a new design. The Tacqua offers the same long-wheelbase body and engine options as the T-Cross built by SAIC-VW, which are 1.4-litre TSI and 1.5-litre MPI. It was unveiled in November 2019 and launched to the market in December 2019.{{Cite web|title=SAIC Volkswagen Tacqua unveiled{{!}}Volkswagen{{!}}Tacqua-Internet Info Agency|url=http://english.news18a.com/news/english_138008.html|access-date=2020-08-19|website=english.news18a.com|language=en}}
