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.

That “storage compartment” on the back of the center console is probably where rear air vents are supposed to go on higher optioned trims.

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.

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.

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

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.

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 😂

We have one - purchased over the SEAT, Audi stable mates and Opel Crossland mainly for looks and its very quiet drive - the el-cheapo plastics were a concern, but 2 months into ownership, it really is a fantastic car - done town, country and long motorway trips, all no issue. The seats are great and the fun factor really is there, you can hussle this car along - would say ours is way better performance wise due to the DSG box over manual tested here, ours is way faster than expected (115 hp version). The penny pinching on grab handle deletion and no rear arm rest bug me more than the cheap dash plastic as I never touch it ! I think it should have and probably will have a GTi version as it is much, much more competent on the twists than it has any right to be and a 4x4 R would have me talking to Mr. Bank for some extra dosh to get one :)
