Here is the unveiled India-bound Volkswagen T-Cross SUV. The SUV will launch by 2020 to take on the likes of Hyundai Creta and upcoming Nissan Kicks. T-Cross is the smallest SUV in Volkswagen’s lineup.
Finally, Volkswagen has taken off the covers and has revealed the T-Cross SUV. In the European markets, T-Cross is placed below the T-ROC SUV, as is now the smallest SUV of the German brand. Volkswagen India has Passat, Polo, Ameo, Vento and Tiguan. It misses out on the developing B-Segment SUVs. To fill the space, Volkswagen is bringing the T-Cross to India. The launch details in India are not out yet, but as per various reports, the T-Cross will come to India by 2020. Read more about the T-Cross here.
The Volkswagen T-Cross gets a sharp styling cue, similar to the T-Roc. In the front, it gets a thin LED strip inside the projector headlamps cover. The front grille remains similar to other models with the trademark Volkswagen logo in the centre. The rectangularly shaped fog lamps add up to the sporty looks.
