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.
This car can actually look good with the right choices.
The colour & the wheels don’t really do it any favours.
The orange alloys look hideous.
Informative and honest review! Thanks!
When James's trouser colour does not match that of the car, I sense that this could be a dodgy car.

Viajedelavida when an SUV isn’t available with AWD, it’s already dodgy. Why bother?

It's lit, i saw u at carwow... Both ur channel and his are great
Those wheels made me toss my cookies... Nasty!
Manufacturers should consider making top of dash above clocks with black alcantara material to prevent reflection of dash on inside of windscreen in sunlight. I have to use a black T shirt on dash to stop this reflection.
verry good review
No matter what the car, I know exactly what James is going to say, and in what order..please try and mix it up a bit.....like you have with the trousers for a change
Nice comprehensive vid.
I wish we saw more of you James.
Wow Schmee looks really different from afar when he isn't holding the camera himself. Top effort as normal Tim.

Hey dear what's about the new 2020 7 series ?
C3 Aircross has class leading boot space at 410L with seats back and 520L with seats slid forward, T-Cross with seats forward is only 455L...
@ekielantoine4303

So T-Cross doesn’t have the biggest boot in the class
Does this have the DQ200 transmission ?
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.
Don’t know why the gentleman keep reminding me of older version of Simon Bird from the Inbetweeners.....
Pretty close on the pants James😎
The new "trend" of no handles on the roof is unacceptable.

Snowpeak74 that’s Volkswagen cost-cutting at its finest.
So old school design. Still use light bulbs even other use LED and transform to project light. Like Mercedes audi bmw.
It looks fantastic!
Love it
It’s just a reflector not a light bar.
Halfords got the wheel gig on this one.
You wear red pants 3 days a week yet that orange interior is going to burn your eyes? lol
Make it look all black, then its like a mini Touareg 2010, very good looking!
Looks like T-Crap with those rims!
Really like the T cross.
Must be an add ad for tango
Surprisingly carwow has more subs than carbuyer even though carbuyer is older. Wanna know why: Matt Watson
VW T-Bag?! I started hacking at my toes with a pizza cutter when he said it was based on the Polo with no 4wd option.

paul smith right there with you on this one. Cheers mate.
No upper handles in ANY DOOR! Like my ford K+
This thing - at least in this guise - manages to be a total mess (in it's detailing - those back lights!) while being boring (in overall form/body surfacing) at the same time. Interior is much more successful though, in bringing some life to an otherwise soulless VW box-ticker.
bring back matt watson
Just r line 1.5 tsi
I don't understand VAG. They got caught out with dieselgate, cut off loads of models to save costs, and now they're making multiple SUVs in each segment under every manufacturer, aren't they?
2:31 There are no soft plastics there on the dashboard, why are you lying? 😏 It’s a shame that Volkswagen not have soft plastics while the Skoda Kamiq has it
What is this B-tec carwow I’ve stumbled across
One litre engine is too small for it , I believe there won't be good pick up .

test drove one, it moves well. The turbo makes a big difference
That was only four rivals.
There is no soft touch plastic up there!
T roc, now a T cross? T bone next?
I can trust the mad gap at last!
*3 people can’t sit in back seat properly n call this suv*
Double Cross more likely...
Getting T'd of with VWs. 05:58 Has someone nicked the spare wheel already?

Wouldn't be surprised if they took it out to try and make the car drive a little bit better. Have to try and get the press to like the car as potential customers are watching
ah James your slipping up with no matching Pants
Is nobody in these board meetings ever going "PEOPLE! People!....people.....peeooople....relax.... look at the amount of SUVs out there. We don't need more, the market is saturated...... it's okay... lets innovate something else. It'll be fine.. we'll actually make more money in the end. It's.... okay.......to be you.To be different.... shhhhh.... it's okay".
Dear god, that centre console is wayyyyy too low. It should be a lot higher thus avoiding having to use the gear lever straight out of a 80's bus. I mean that thing is effing huge !!!!!
Dunno why but he's a grumpy fellow is he?
Sudden looking energetic orange 😂🤣😂 the interior reaction is brilliant god it's so busy! Another VAG group SUV yawn!! 😞😞😞
Carwow much? ;)
pricey cute ute
I will still have the Citroen C4 Picasso over this. Yes it looks more like a bus but for me it has the right size and shape.
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.

@@forza223bowe5 and this is only 40 litres you are looking at a max 260 miles range
That looks GASH!
It's amazing how you can easily spend 23-24k GBP on this car to make it well equipped and get rear drum brakes. Are we in 1995 or what?
„Is there a feminine version of carwow“? Yea! Go check Carbuyer !
A bit too many. Getting stilly.
It looks like an old Fiat Punto. Vw is now selling overpriced , low engineered vehicles in order to pay their billion dollars emissions fine.
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....
The gear, lol
That mpg is pretty pathetic!, my two litre 184bhp three series does 42mpg all day long, and that A road and Motorway and some Town driving, I’d expect cars like these should do a minimum of fifty miles per gallon, this mpg is, would be concern to me.
Colour taste is yuk So is the colour of the car
Just buy a Polo/ Golf.
Guess what - u dont have to have those wheels.
👍🏻🚘
Helloooooo
Weedy engines. What's it like with 4 adults in it? Laughable I would think.
VW "We are committed to EVs" Also VW "Here's another SUV"
Those wheels are vile
Who ever spec this particular car needs to get his/her eyes check. It's a hot mess of colors and patterns.
First meee
I was first
Not another baby SUV ZZZZzzzzzzzz
No 1.5tsi??? Boo hoo...that orange colour...no need to go to spec. savers lol...

I think they are gonna add it to this model just like they will do it with the T-Roc. I would surely prefer it over the 1.0 Tsi, even the 115ps, let alone the 95ps.
Is this channel a spin off Carwow?
Looks a bit cheap and tacky
Another snoozefest from VW. I'm sure it will sell well, bought by people who know nothing about cars! Overpriced crap.
The wheels look rubbish
Damn, first the wheels and then all those ugly seat-colors...why?
More like t-gross LMAO

Bah! Another week without Ginny ☹
Pointless. Absolutely pointless
Just dont choose that colour
T Roc 🤦♂️now the T Cross🤦♂️, whatever next the T Biscuit. 💩
This looks AWFUL inside and out! What are VW thinking at the moment?
What has happened to VW? They now look so cheap looking
Terrible car review of what will clearly be an incredible car
This car is a disgrace. No grab handles, no AWD available. It goes against everything a true SUV used to stand for. They’ve also tried to hide the achingly cheap interior by adding some bright colors to the mix. We all know this car was built down to a price.
The interior and the wheels look awful. Really cheap and tacky looking.
We miss Matt. No offense to you but I like Matt more :)
Not carwow Bye
That color is ugly af and the rims are even worse. Yuk.
