Appealingly sophisticated and hip, the T-Cross and T-Roc should ask some tough questions of segment leaders
The Polo-based T-Cross arrives this year to slot in under the Tiguan in VW’s SUV line up. Picture: SUPPLIED
Personalisation is possible through style packages which are Life, Style and R-Line. It is, of course, yet another SUV to hit the market but VW also views it as a natural upscale for maturing owners of the Polo who require a more practical but not necessarily uninteresting step up. Digital suaveness can be had with VW’s optional Active Info Display which mirrors a host of information, including the car’s integrated navigation system in direct view of the driver via a digitised instrument binnacle. The primary command screen in the centre is also retained.
The T-Roc is a Golf-sized crossover destined here in 2020. Hopefully the local line up will include this high-performance R version. Picture: SUPPLIED
