Volkswagen T-Cross vs Volkswagen T-Roc

Volkswagen T-Cross vs Volkswagen T-Roc


The T-Cross leaves a lasting impression at first sight. The striking front end highlights the vehicle's family affiliation while the exterior also emphasises the individuality of the new SUV model. The №Volkswagen T-Cross measures just under 4.11 metres in length, 54 millimetres more than the Polo. The difference in height is even more obvious: the T-Cross measures 1,558 millimetres compared to the Polo's 1,446 millimetres. The wheelbase of 2,563 millimetres is very large compared to the external length - which increases the space for seats and provides a spacious, roomy feel. The elevated seat position is typical of an SUV. The driver and front passenger sit 597 millimetres above the road, while the rear passengers benefit from a vantage point of 652 millimetres. That is 10 centimetres higher than in the Polo - thus guaranteeing good visibility from all seats.

The Volkswagen T-Cross will be available with four efficient turbocharged engines to ensure swift travel. The two 1.0 TSI three-cylinder petrol engines with petrol particulate filter generate 70 kW / 95 PS or 85 kW / 115 PS. While the version with 70 kW / 95 PS can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 11.5 seconds and has a top speed of 180 km/h, the more potent variant can reach 100 km/h in just 9.9 seconds and reach a top speed of 193 km/h (values are identical for the manual gearbox and DSG variants).The ranger topper is the 1.5 TSI four-cylinder version, which can rely on 110 kW / 150 PS. It goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 7.8 seconds and has a top speed of 220 km/h. A 1.6 TDI four-cylinder engine with 70 kW / 95 PS completes the range. In conjunction with the manual gearbox, it requires 12.0 seconds to reach 100 km/h (12.4 seconds for the DSG) and has a top speed of 181 km/h (180 km/h for the DSG). All engines comply with the latest emission standard Euro 6D-TEMP. The two petrol engines with 1.0 litre capacity belong to the established EA211 Volkswagen engine family, with a crankcase made from die-cast aluminium.

The basic petrol engine in the 1.0 TSI delivers 70 kW / 95 PS at 5,500 rpm, has a maximum torque of 175 Nm at 2,000 to 3,500 rpm, and is as agile as it is efficient. The three-cylinder engine accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 11.5 seconds and can reach a top speed of 180 km/h.

The second three-cylinder variant of the 1.0 TSI generates power of 85 kW / 115 PS. The turbocharged direct injection engine develops the highest performance at 5,500 rpm. The maximum torque of 200 Nm is available between 2,000 and 3,500 rpm. This version goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 9.9 seconds and has a top speed of 193 km/h (values are identical for the manual gearbox and DSG variants).

The four-cylinder 1.5 TSI with 110 kW / 150 PS will also be available shortly after market launch. This high-tech unit is equipped with Active Cylinder Management. Depending on the operating situation, this function shuts down two cylinders temporarily and thus significantly reduces consumption and emissions. The four-cylinder turbocharged engine develops its maximum torque of 250 Nm between 1,500 and 3,500 rpm. It generates maximum power between 5,000 and 6,000 rpm. Special features of the turbocharged engine include the fully variable, map-controlled oil pump; a polymer-coated first main bearing on the crankshaft; efficient indirect charge air cooling and extremely innovative thermal management. The injection pressure is 350 bar. The 1.5 TSI accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 7.8 seconds and reaches a top speed of 220 km/h.


The Volkswagen T-Roc is positioned in the segment beneath the Tiguan. Like that car, and the Atlas/Teramont, the T-Roc is based on the modular transverse matrix (MQB). This means that all three models share the same basic structural platform, but they each have a completely independent body and interior layout. Thanks to the MQB, the development team was able to implement very dynamic proportions. This is especially true of the new T-Roc. The crossover model is 4,234 mm long (252 mm shorter than the Tiguan), and it has a 2,603 mm wheelbase. The SUV's width is 1,819 mm (without exterior mirrors), and its height is 1,573 mm. The width, which is relatively large in relation to the rather low roof structure, underscores the vehicle's dynamic proportions. At the same time, the body's somewhat lower centre of gravity compared to other SUVs optimizes handling properties. Its styling is also defined by its short overhangs (831 mm front, 800 mm rear) and large track widths of 1,546 mm (front) and 1,541 mm (rear).
