The Volkswagen T-Cross arrives rather belatedly into what is now a hugely crowded sector of the new car market. It goes up against the SEAT Arona, Mazda CX-3, Citroen C3 Aircross, Renault Captur, Nissan Juke, Kia Stonic and Peugeot 2008, to name just a few rivals. Does the T-Cross stand out or is it just another also-ran? Batch finds out.

    I think that VAG's idea of having 50% of the SUV market it's literally having 50% of the number of SUV models.

    A tray under the driver's seat, instead of the front passenger's? Why does that not sound like a good idea? As for this SUV craze that shows no signs of stopping, it seems like a way to make easier-to-park cars on fewer platforms, but at the expense of driving ability and economy, sometimes dramatically so.

    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.

    these crossover-esk compact SUV-s are under powered... they have no power.... at all... i mean the Mazda at least has 160hp option,... i am not interested in max speed i ma concerned with acceleration. Hyundai Kona has a 1.6 CRDi LP with 115hp, a 1.0 T-GDi with120hp, a 1.6 CRDi HP with 136hp, 1.6 T-GDi with 176hp, and even a 1.6 GDi HIBRID with 105hp petrol + 43,5hp electric ... but for example Toyota and other brands dont give you the range of options... i love the Toyota CH-R's look its wilde it feels like Power, then the European market version needed between 10.9-11.4 s to go from 0-100.. its awful... for this size cars between 8s-9s should be not a to big thing to ask....
