Volkswagen might be somewhat late to the small crossover party, but with the new T-Cross it is at least turning up in style. In this CarGurus review Sarah-Ellen Brown takes a closer look at VW's rival to the likes of the Nissan Juke and Seat Arona to see just how good it is.

Written review: https://www.cargurus.co.uk/research/Volkswagen-T-Cross-2019-mg243

Pros
Funky SUV-like styling
Easy to drive
Roomy interior by class standards

Cons
Many rival compact crossovers are cheaper to buy
VW's new-car warranty is no match for Kia or Hyundai
Disappointing interior quality

The CarGurus verdict
The small SUV category is packed with talent. So while the T-Cross is worth careful consideration, it's not a clear class leader. The Ford Puma is more fun to drive, and the Skoda Kamiq is roomier. What's more, the finish in the cabin is disappointing when you consider that the T-Cross is more expensive than many rivals; there are just too many hard and shiny plastics on show.

On the other hand, the VW T-Cross is practical, with reasonable cabin space, a healthy luggage capacity, and extra flexibility thanks to the sliding rear bench. It drives well, and rides comfortably so long as you avoid the big 18-inch alloy wheels on high-spec cars. The engines are very good indeed, especially the petrols, which combine healthy performance with modest fuel consumption.

Perhaps the clincher is the way the T-Cross looks. These things are subjective, but we think the VW is one of the best-looking compact crossovers. And in such a fashion-conscious sector of the market, that counts for a lot.
