El VW T-Cross It is the smallest and most economical SUV the german brand. It arrived on the market in 2019 and quickly became one of the main pillars of the company. In fact, in Spain it is their second best-selling car.
Be that as it may, the Volkswagen T-Cross has recently received a restyling, a mid-life cycle update to continue being one of the references of the segment B-SUV. Due to this, prices and equipment have also changed. What does the cheapest Volkswagen T-Cross offer us and how much does it cost?
The cheapest VW T-Cross
According to the brand's official configurator, the Volkswagen T-Cross has a starting price of 23.970 Euros. Yes, almost 24.000 euros for the simplest version of this urban crossover which barely measures 4,13 meters long. In its category there are cheaper cars, and also with a slightly larger body.
This amount corresponds to base finish, which the brand itself calls “T-Cross”. It is true that it is now noticeably more expensive than a few years ago, when it began sales, but the equipment is more complete and we must also take into account the general price increase in the automobile sector.
El standard equipment on the VW T-Cross It includes 16-inch steel wheels, roof bars, headlights and taillights with LED technology, rear parking sensors, plastic multifunction steering wheel, manual air conditioning, mirrors with electric and heated adjustment, App-connect and 8-inch digital panel. It also has sliding rear seats to distribute the space between the second row of seats and the trunk, which ranges from 385 to 455 liters.
On the other hand, the engine to obtain this tighter rate within the German urban crossover is the 1.0 TSI in its 95 hp version. It is a three-cylinder engine supercharged by turbo, which is combined with a 5-speed manual gearbox. It will be a solvent engine for urban use, but probably something fair if we are going to travel with some frequency, especially if we will do so with several occupants.
In fact, it is the only mechanical option available for the base trim level. If we want a more powerful engine we have to go to a higher finish.
The most balanced version of the Volkswagen T-Cross: Equipment, engine and price
Normally, Spanish citizens are not satisfied with the most accessible version in terms of equipment. Even more so if, as in this case, that configuration does not even include alloy wheels or a leather steering wheel. Therefore, the most frequent and balanced thing in this model is to move to VW T-Cross Life, which costs 2.090 euros more like engine. That is to say, with the 95 HP mechanics we would be left with 26.060 Euros.
To the main equipment mentioned above Add 16-inch alloy wheels, darkened rear windows, adaptive cruise control, automatic lights, front and rear parking sensors, center armrest, height adjustment for the front seats, trunk with double-height floor, dual-zone automatic climate control, folding mirrors electrically, top radio with 8-inch screen and wireless App Connect.
Regarding the engine, The most balanced mechanical option in terms of performance and consumption is the 1.0 TSI, but in a 115 HP version. We remember that the access one develops 95 HP. In this variant we have 20 more horses and also a 6-speed manual transmission instead of 5, which allows better use of the engine. The economic difference is 780 euros.
Therefore, and once we have described the most balanced equipment and engine configuration, let's look at its rate. According to the official configurator, the Volkswagen T-Cross Life with 1.0 TSI 115 HP engine and 6-speed manual transmission has a price of EUR 26.840. It is not exactly a low amount, but it is a very sold car in our country in this specific version.
The most expensive VW T-Cross: R-Line and 150 HP engine
We always like to take a look at the more expensive and powerful variant. In this case we are talking about the Volkswagen T-Cross with R-Line finish and 150 HP engine. Its price is 33.840 Euros; but what does it include?
As far as equipment is concerned, it is easily distinguishable from the rest because it uses a sportier aesthetic, with bumpers, side skirts, grille and specific wheels. In addition, it includes LED matrix headlights with the light band that communicates them and three-dimensional rear lights with dynamic turn signals.
Other added equipment Regarding the Life finish, there are anodized roof bars, driving modes, 10,25-inch digital panel and reversing camera, along with more sporty seats and aluminum pedals. In fact, it is the version that we see in the images in this article in blue.
This finish is available with the 1.0 TSI 115 HP engine, both with manual and DSG transmission. But since we are talking about the most performance possible, we find the 1.5 TSI four-cylinder block that produces 150 HP. It is only offered with a 7-speed DSG transmission and offers a more than satisfactory response in any circumstance of use, without penalizing consumption.
