T-Cross offers just enough over a Polo to make it worth thinking about.

Pros

Different to a Polo,
Refined enough

Cons
Less refined and more expensive than the car it’s based on.
Low quality interior

The VW T-Cross is a compact yet roomy SUV which comes with loads of standard equipment. It doesn’t look as dramatic or feel quite as comfortable as some alternatives.

Big boot
Lots of passenger space
Loads of standard equipment

Materials feel a bit cheap
Alternatives look more exciting
