Sales of the Volkswagen T-Cross crossover began in Russia, and dealers have started stocking models even before the 2022 edition was rolled out. The initial wave of units on sale indicates that the compact SUV has found a place in the lineup, appealing to buyers looking for a practical yet stylish crossover for urban life and weekend getaways.
The T-Cross is equipped with a 1.4-liter turbocharged petrol engine delivering 150 horsepower, paired with a seven-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive. This configuration provides lively performance for daily driving, smooth highway cruising, and confident overtakes, while keeping fuel efficiency within a reasonable range for an SUV in its class.
The package list is generous for a compact crossover, including rear parking sensors with a camera, climate control, a Start/Stop system to save fuel in city traffic, LED headlights with automatic leveling, tire pressure monitoring, keyless entry, a panoramic roof, and an electronic Hill Climb Assistant along with cruise control. These features combine safety, comfort, and convenience into a well-rounded daily driver, making the T-Cross a practical choice for families and professionals alike.
The Volkswagen T-Cross first appeared in autumn 2018 as the smallest member of the brand’s crossovers. It sits on the latest Polo platform yet is noticeably longer and taller, which translates into more cabin space and better practicality for everyday use. Ground clearance has been increased, giving the vehicle a more capable stance on imperfect city streets and light off road surfaces, a factor many urban buyers consider important. Pricing in the local market at the time approximated several million rubles, with regional variations reflecting taxes, incentives, and currency fluctuations.
For potential buyers looking to keep a close eye on new releases and deals, shopping channels like official dealer networks and authorized distributors remain practical avenues. The T-Cross continues to attract attention for its blend of compact dimensions, strong feature set, and the Volkswagen brand’s reputation for reliability and resale value. A practical approach to purchase includes test drives, comparing trim levels, and reviewing insurance and maintenance costs to understand total ownership experience.
