27.12.2018
Volkswagen T-Cross Production, VW T-Cross Factory, Vw Assembly Line Volkswagen Navarra has begun mass production of the new Volkswagen T-Cross, the second model of the plant, which manufactures the different generations of the Volkswagen Polo since 1984. The T-Cross, which was presented last October in Amsterdam (Countries Netherlands), is the smallest SUV of the German brand. The first car of mass production has been a turquoise Volkswagen T-Cross with petrol engine 1.0 TSI 115 HP, 6-speed manual transmission and which is destined for Germany. This first T-Cross constitutes for Volkswagen Navarra the start of the series production of the new car, with a launch curve that will increase progressively after Christmas and which is expected to reach its highest level (700 units / day) at the end of the first four months of 2019. The all-new VW T-Cross SUV will sit below the larger T-Roc, rivalling the SEAT Arona and Kia Stonic This is the all-new Volkswagen T-Cross, the latest and smallest SUV from the German brand. It’s a rival for the likes of the Nissan Juke, Citroen C3 Aircross and SEAT Arona and due to go on sale in the UK early next year priced from around £16,500. It sits beneath the T-Roc in Volkswagen’s lineup and shares a lot of its mechanical running gear with the Polo supermini. It’s based on the same MQB A0 platform and measures in at 4,107mm long and 1,558mm tall, which makes it 54mm longer and 97mm wider than the Polo. Drivers also sit 100mm higher in the T-Cross than they would in the hatchback. • Best small SUVs and crossovers on sale In the flesh its chunky wheel arches, boxy profile and tall bonnet give the T-Cross a more prominent SUV look than any of its rivals. On paper, at least, it’s also more practical; the 385-litre boot – larger than a VW Golf’s – can expand to 455 litres with the rear bench slid forward, while dropping the bench completely frees up 1,281 litres of luggage space. “The T-Cross is about versatility – that’s its number one focus,” Felix Kaschutzke, T-Cross project for manager sales & marketing, told Auto Express. “This car is built for young, small families, the car is very versatile for these types of customers.” To keep costs down, four-wheel drive will not be offered; all T-Cross models will be front-wheel drive. In the UK, buyers will get the option of a 95bhp or 115bhp 1.0-litre three-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine. Both use a six-speed manual as standard, while a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic is available as an option. While a 1.6-litre TDI engine is available to buyers on the continent, Volkswagen UK has decided against selling it over here due to the market’s shift way from diesel-powered cars. However, it could be offered later down the line if there is demand – along with the possibility of mild-hybrid technology, too. Inside, the overall design is recognisable from the Polo; a central touchscreen on the dashboard gives access to all of the car’s functions and is offered in two sizes
