This car hasn't been out for too long and yet I'm seeing them everywhere. Great move VW. They're selling spectacularly well and I think it's one of the best designed small SUV's on the market right now
Although it has nothing to do with the price of the VW the lexus nx is a crossover and looks a million times better, but yet again its 3x times the price.
For real ? Peugeot 2008, Renault Captur, Seat Arona, Skoda Kamiq, Nissan Juke, Ford Puma look better than that low cost T Cross. I don't understand people who love Volkswagen for the design...
I strongly disagree. The 2008 looks like a cockroach, it's the ugliest car I've ever seen. Juke has enormous visibility issues, and it's Nissan so it will fall apart. Puma looks cool, but it just feels like it's copyigg Hyundais Kona, and I would much rather go for Hyundai than Ford. I can't comment on seat or Skoda as I don't see those brands where I am from.
X Blocky i also don’t like this orange dash. And it cost a lot! More black with grey if you like ia the way to go. I also dont like at all that orange wheels that are also very very expensive.

@@Firemarioflower Of course. But, I guess I wouldn't buy them even then. Except maybe a porsche. I really don't like the german cars, I don't even fancy them. Not that it matters.
One major issue that everyone seems to miss including VW conveniently, is that the T cross only has 40 litre fuel tank capacity. That's a smaller tank than some smaller cars. Meaning filling up more often and less range of miles. It's a major flaw and vw doesn't even mention it on its brochure.

you guys should film the moment that you get in and out of the car from the outside. An important thing in my opinion to see. So you can exactly see how low you need to go to step in or out. (I am a lower back patient :P)
Geez CUVs just keep coming offering less and less. So much profit for these automakers. Just get a Polo/Golf and save. Polo/Golf is faster, more efficient, more attractive, less money, less orange, better dynamics, ect.
To be fair. Energetic orange is a great color on the polo. I'm not loving it on the Tcross though. Might have something to do with those orange wheels 😂
these small SUVs are perfect for people with disabilities or those who are expecting to start a family soon as the increased height and smaller size makes it much easier to park in congested areas or in smaller driveways the increased ride height (as someone with some troublesome mobility issues) is a definite requirement for many people as its easier to get in and out of and personally I have seen many people think small SUVs are much better at stopping the neds from breaking into cars for any valuables inside as many of them won't be able to see into the car clearly
Theodore Argiaditis I do own one yes, the quality on mine is excellent and that’s after I’ve owned a Leon, A3, Skoda Yeti amongst others. I can’t comment on your car, I’m sorry you aren’t happy with it like but my personal experience has been excellent.
Listening to Matt, other than some plastics disappoint, there is really nothing bad to say about it.

8:25 - Surely there must be a reason as to why no T-Cross - even the R-Line range topper - is available with leather seats, even as an option, other than to "appease the vegans"? And also, why isn't the 150PS 1.5 TSI Evo offered on UK-spec T-Crosses like it is on the SEAT Arona?
In VW land, leather seats are very expensive, I'm talking £2000 so nobody ever gets them. I'm a VW salesman and I've never seen even a T-Roc ordered with leather seats, which you can get. They're just too expensive relative to the cost of the car
@@ottermanuk It's oddly specced but not badly. It's the only car in class that has blind spot detection and auto emergency braking as standard, also from the SE has adaptive cruise control. Interesting that it doesn't have parking Sensors as standard, though neither does the Polo.

Mmm interesting you think it’s the best one. Does it offer any sort of off road systems like 4 wheel drive, or clever driving modes like other front wheel driving SUV’s to deal with snow etc?
Don’t see at all what’s annoying about the volume buttons on one side of the steering wheel and change tracks on the other, I have this on my polo and am just completely used it/didn’t know it was unconventional 😂
Great video, thanks. That little cubby hole when you’re seated in the back isn’t for a mobile phone - that’s always superglued to an adolescent’s hand. 😆 No, it’s for the AirPods the case sits in there nicely and can be charged from the USB port just below. 👍 I’ve just bought a T-Cross in United trim in brilliant white with the DSG7 box. It looks fantastic and drives like a dream. Highly recommended!
What do you guys advice me to buy, mercedes cla 180 with a business pack / panoramic roof and wide cockpit. VW Tcross with alot of options, Audi a3 sportback 150HP with business pack sport. Mercedes a class hatchback with business pack and amg line pack. VW t-roc with business pack, BMW x1 / x2 with a business pack. It'll be a car from work so I can surpass a certain budget
Bought the car today with all packages possibly included. Everything LED and the engine is a 1.0 TSI 95HP. Drives really great, feels like an SUV. And the space is bigger than I expected. Highly recommended. The only downside is the hard plastic in the front of the car.
Should I buy one with 95hp 5 speed or the 115hp automatic gearbox had a test drive in both but still can't make mind up they are the only ones available at the moment.
What’s everyone’s issue with this car? Seems like great value, and I think the interior design is pretty cool, also, I usually think VWs are pretty ugly (namely the golf and polo), but their jacked up vehicles look great.
I think the hole on the central armrest it's because the Brazilian version of the t-cross an polo have rear air vents coming out of the central console
They are doing it because it's cheap, the dsg is prolly the better option in this car. This is no GTI it's a wimpy 1L 3 cylinder. I had a Golf with this engine and it would constantly stall,then got a 1.6 diesel which was much more usable, though still slow.
@@paulzapodeanu9407 well yes that's true. However from the lousy engine and other bits at least for someone like me I can comfort myself with changing gears in a $25000 2020 car.
Shimeih Honestly most, if not all of these small SUVs can still be had with manual transmissions in Europe. In America there’s not even any manual options anymore. The Mazda CX-5 was the last one to offer it in the US.
We don't have the T-ROC here in Brazil, so VW change the aproach on this SUV, using as base the VW Virtus (Polo sedan) with a wheelbase 8cm longer than the Polo. So the Brazilian version is longer than the European version with more space for the rear passengers. We also have a different version in the 1.0 TSI engine with 128hp using ethanol. The car does not use the DSG gear, but a common but excellent automatic gear from Aisin, a company of the Toyota group.
Unfortunately when you get past your boy racer says and become a family man- SUV’s make a lot of sense - space to carry stuff, practical for car seats etc. I kind of agree , but I am crossing to the dark side soon as I like the Peugeot 3008.

I think the real issue is the association of who are the main users; and as stated that depends what stage of life you are at. At 18 I would not have wanted one.
That space in the rear.. above the usb ports .. that, actually, looks like the space for rear ac vents.. which they dropped.. or will give in the future
Hi. Test drove a T-Cross. Was average quality. One thing that annoyed was the vibration felt in the steering wheel on take off, from the engine. I did not want to feel that for the next 5 years. Drove the Skoda Kamiq next. Yes, same running gear, but no vibration. Also better quality. Would have loved a nice 2L engine.
@@kingbradley8058 Boomers buy Rav 4's, CRV's and Suzuki Swifts and Polo's, not this fucking trash. THis trash is for millennial retards with colored hair.
Overview Learn more The Volkswagen T-Cross is not slow, but its performance depends on the engine you choose: 1.0 TSI 95 The entry-level engine, which accelerates from 0-62 mph in 11.2 seconds. It has a five-speed manual gearbox. 1.0 TSI 115 This engine accelerates from 0-62 mph in 10 seconds. It comes with a six-speed manual gearbox as standard, but you can pay extra for a seven-speed automatic gearbox. 1.5 TSI 150 This engine is only available with Style and R-Line trims, and accelerates from 0-62 mph in 8.4 seconds. It has a seven-speed DSG automatic gearbox. Some say the T-Cross is refined and capable for a small car. Others say it's sure-footed on the road, even in bad weather. However, some report gearbox issues, such as jerky movements and delays in gear shifting.
john kowneque i agree. Instead of having a golf or polo and have to repaint fenders and side skirts everyyear because of road salt in winter and road rocks this small suv is the perfect solution.
@A real bisexual petrol-head I don't know if it's price is expensive for those who live in Europe and North America. But imo, at least saying for Brazil, it costs a lot offering the same lack of quality. But it's more complex than it seems. Most Brazilians care more to showoff their cars to others than having just a way of mobility.
@A real bisexual petrol-head Dude, even BMW and Merc lacks quality. The new GLC is a disaster, same with outgoing GLE and even S-Class has cheap materials inside. BMW? They will never fix sounds coming from the climate control and it even wobbles. Do I need to mention electronics issues, shitty R3 and 2.0d engines? Even the 3.0d isn´t good anymore.
VW cars are dull but Matt plugs them all the time due to being sponsored by them.Still doesn't take away the fact that VW cars are the fullest on the road along with the drivers.
David Chernack sorry, but I think these models are completely diferent in terms of design, interior and size.. T-Roc is based on Golf.. T-Cross is based on Polo.. C-Pilars are totally diferent as well as the rear.. Pics and videos may give a different idea from what they really look like.. cheers!!

@Dawit_K when a similarly priced COROLLA (!) has a quality interior then I do expect a lot from a German manufacturer, bitch.
@Dawit_K I'd rather buy a used Mercedes instead of this crap.
That “storage compartment” on the back of the center console is probably where rear air vents are supposed to go on higher optioned trims.
I love the way you review vehicles..straight to the point in a very funny way😂 😂 😂
Please matt, do a rewiev of the new lotus exige 410.
Why? Do you want to buy one?
@@cnxexpat1862 My dream car, i just think its a underrated sports car.
I'd rather waste all my imaginary savings for the overpriced Audi S6 than to be seen in whatever this is
bugz1591 I agree
I like how you went "imaginary savings" 😂
Matt here serving us his hardwork on those benches 🤴🏻😜
8:25 now Thomas is your new enemy
Autogefuehl :)
Why did they use the picture of the peugeot 2008 from 2014 and not 2019 like they did for the capture
so many adverts in a relatively short video
Desperate times methinks
Why don't you mention "camping body" availability on your reviews?
I find it somewhat weird that this car is apparently referred to as a small car. 🤔
What 8 seater suv can you get in uk? Cause i cant find any on carwow Website
Ew those rims
Darius Andrey it’s nice with the energetic orange
Besides that. 16 inch wheels are too small for this car. i'd get at least 17 inch ones.
CyAn aren’t you judgemental
@@cheekypepsi8772 It's bland
I swear at 3:14 you changed from a Next t-shirt back to a Polo t-shirt?
tbh Seat Arona is much much better value... you're paying for the brand here

The Volkswagen T-Cross is not slow, but its performance depends on the engine you choose:
1.0 TSI 95
The entry-level engine, which accelerates from 0-62 mph in 11.2 seconds. It has a five-speed manual gearbox.
1.0 TSI 115
This engine accelerates from 0-62 mph in 10 seconds. It comes with a six-speed manual gearbox as standard, but you can pay extra for a seven-speed automatic gearbox.
1.5 TSI 150
This engine is only available with Style and R-Line trims, and accelerates from 0-62 mph in 8.4 seconds. It has a seven-speed DSG automatic gearbox.
Some say the T-Cross is refined and capable for a small car. Others say it's sure-footed on the road, even in bad weather. However, some report gearbox issues, such as jerky movements and delays in gear shifting.
Nice review, pointless car.
Nice.handsome TRoc..
VAG is the principal sponsor of Carwow, no choice
for you. small SUV like this sells like hot cakes worldwide
john kowneque i agree. Instead of having a golf or polo and have to repaint fenders and side skirts everyyear because of road salt in winter and road rocks this small suv is the perfect solution.
If you don't have a wolkswagen than you call it pointless car once you get one you always love it
Does it come in Orange?
Dude where is this thing manufactured in? Too much cheap plasticky
Typical Volkswagen. Shame they went this route
I thought that it was with that poor interior only in South America lmao
@A real bisexual petrol-head I don't know if it's price is expensive for those who live in Europe and North America.
But imo, at least saying for Brazil, it costs a lot offering the same lack of quality. But it's more complex than it seems. Most Brazilians care more to showoff their cars to others than having just a way of mobility.
@A real bisexual petrol-head Dude, even BMW and Merc lacks quality. The new GLC is a disaster, same with outgoing GLE and even S-Class has cheap materials inside.
BMW? They will never fix sounds coming from the climate control and it even wobbles. Do I need to mention electronics issues, shitty R3 and 2.0d engines? Even the 3.0d isn´t good anymore.
This guy likes his SUV's.il recommend this channel to my mother.
Would I sound dull if I said that it's yet another dull car by VW?
VW cars are dull but Matt plugs them all the time due to being sponsored by them.Still doesn't take away the fact that VW cars are the fullest on the road along with the drivers.
MUCKSPREADER1 VW cars are rather dull, apart from the Arteon
No better start of car review then Northerner's poetry.
BTW you lost me after the rugged offroad looks with FWD only
Why did you show old 2008 insted new one... At the beginig
I like the orange color in the interior and on the rims
what does shortlisting a car mean?
The Škoda Kamiq has better quality and more equipment... and subjectively speaking a much more interesting interior design. This one's pointless.
American here. Literally what is the difference between the T-Roc and the T-Cross??? They look E X A C T L Y the same.
David Chernack sorry, but I think these models are completely diferent in terms of design, interior and size.. T-Roc is based on Golf.. T-Cross is based on Polo.. C-Pilars are totally diferent as well as the rear.. Pics and videos may give a different idea from what they really look like.. cheers!!
Did someone forget to cover the rims in the painting booth
Mat, do you think this is better than the polo (not taking price into it)
Why don't you tell, when the car is likely to be launched in the market?
You talk about everything, except the date.
it has already launched.
Don’t know about the UK, but in Croatia are lot of them already on the streets!
Could you please do bmw m8 comp vs Merc amg s63
Can´t you decide which one you want to buy?
