The year/model of the VW T-Cross 1.0 TSI evaluated is 2023 and even with the recent facelift of the 2025 line it did not have a dated look at the front, after all VW chose not to adopt the illuminated grille that is already present in the VW Taos.
VW T-Cross 1.0 TSI design remains attractive in 2024
The big difference between the Volkswagen T-Cross It's due to the headlights, which on the zero km models are full LED for the entire line and were previously part of an optional Tech & Beats package (full-LED headlights, park assist and Beats sound system with subwoofer).
However, the used VW T-Cross 1.0 has fog lights with cornering light, which are mainly useful on the road and are present from the entry-level version, 200 TSI.
At the rear of the Volkswagen T-Cross, the design became more outdated when compared to the 2025 line. After all, the threads that connect the full LED lights were illuminated and it is a look exclusive to the Brazilian model.
Developed on the modular platform MQB, the Brazilian VW T-Cross TSI is slightly larger than the European one, being about 1 cm taller and 8,8 cm longer, with its 4,19 cm total length. All the length gain is concentrated in the 2,65 m wheelbase.
Engine and interior of the used VW T-Cross 1.0
The Volkswagen T-Cross engine is the 200 TSI, a three-cylinder 1.0 turbo flex that also belongs to the EA-211 family. It has 115/128 hp and a good 20,4 kgfm between 2.000 and 3.500 RPM, with a six-speed automatic transmission.
The VW T-Cross TSI goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 11,2 seconds and can do 11,7 km/l in the city and 16,9 km/l on the highway. The interior space is one of the highlights, with 94 cm of headroom, 2 cm more than in the viral Hyundai Creta and for legs the space is the same, comfortably accommodating adults of larger stature.
The digital instrument panel became a standard item starting with the 2020 line in the Comfortline version, which brings sophistication to the cabin. However, it clashes with the finish dominated by hard plastic with a simple appearance. Currently, the entire line comes with the VW Play with a 10,1-inch screen, after all, it is a great center and it made no sense to continue equipping only the most expensive version with it.
17km/l only if it is downhill, straight, with the wind in your favor and with another car pushing behind.
Don't do that!!!
True. I had one before and it wasn't that economical. Besides, you can't even buy a **** car with 83 thousand. I don't know where they got that value from.
This is for those who know how to drive, not for those who just know how to screech the car.
