Volkswagen To Launch T-Cross SUV In India

Volkswagen might introduce its smallest SUV T-Cross in India and it is expected to come with both petrol and diesel engines

Volkswagen is going to introduce the much-awaited new T-Cross compact SUV in the Indian market. The T-Cross made its debut last year and it is based on the MQB A0 platform, which is the base for new generation Polo and Virtus. The company hasn’t given any specific launch details but expect it to launch in 2021 and be manufactured in India.

The T-Cross will be locally produced to keep pricing aggressive as it will be based on heavily localised MQB A0 IN architecture. The design theme of T-Cross is in line with other VW models as the front gets big grille, which extends towards the headlamps with integrated LED DRLs in it. The company has also given a new front bumper with big fog lamps.

VW has given black plastic cladding across the body as the SUV comes with sporty wheel design. The rear is the most attractive part as the LED tail lamps give a new character for the SUV. The SUV also comes with faux skid plates at front and rear with roof rails and an integrated spoiler at the rear.
