“I am versatile”. It’s all about being more than what you seem, and for the T-Cross, it’s being able to provide
more space than what the usual can offer. Having the longest wheelbase in the 5-seater subcompact SUV
class with 2,651 mm, the T-Cross can comfortably seat 5 persons and still offer 329 liters of luggage space
at the back, which can even expand to 1,319 liters with rear seats folded. So, while you say you’re more
than one thing, the T-Cross can still take in your everything. From your work, to your weekend hobbies and
recreations, the T-Cross can carry all the loads that come with the lifestyle of the active millennial.
“I am comfortable”. The amenities of the T-Cross are exactly where you’d instinctively think they’d be.
Everything inside is in their proper places. The controls and infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and
App connect can be seen at a glance for easy use. There’s available rear air-conditioning and USB sockets
for the back passengers, as well as a soft seat cushion and comfortable steering wheel perfect for long out-
of-town drives. The T-Cross can be attributed to embodying a singular mind with the user, with its end goal
of prioritizing driver comfort and accessibility for an enjoyable and worry-free cruising.
“I am safe”. The T-Cross earns its 5 stars in the European New Car Assessment Program (NCAP), the
Australasian NCAP, and Latin NCAP safety rating with its host of standard safety features such as the
strong body structure, LED tail lights, electronic stabilization program (ESP), cruise control, tire pressure
monitoring system, and additional safety features (for the SE variant): 6 airbags, LED headlights, rear
camera, rear park distance control (PDC), and autonomous emergency braking (AEB). Though you may
indeed be more than one thing, you still have just that one precious life, and in the T-Cross, that’s protected
at all times. Above all, driver and passenger security and peace of mind are of the highest priority, allowing
you to focus on spending more valuable time with your loved ones.
The T-Cross would come laden with significant ownership value in aftersales. With its once a year periodic
maintenance service (PMS), the T-Cross is on average 40% more affordable to maintain compared to its
competitors in the segment for the duration of 5 years of ownership. This would be on top of the warranty
coverage of 3 years, or 100,000 km (whichever comes first); spare parts warranty of 2 years, and; service
quality consistent with Volkswagen standards across the world.
With the world-class workmanship of the T-Cross combined with aftersales services that focus as much on
the customer’s needs as the optimal upkeep of his or her vehicle, the overall motoring lifestyle experience
with the T-Cross simply translates to more quality time devoted to pursuing passions and fulfilling dreams,
and actually living that long-planned-for adventure with friends, associates, or family. During the
discussions, the two T-Cross variants were revealed, both with a Euro6 emission standard 1.5-liter engine
with 6-speed Tiptronic AT: The T-Cross 180 MPI AT S and the 180 MPI AT SE, both capable of generating
maximum power output of 113 Ps and 145Nm of torque, ideal numbers to achieve optimum fuel efficiency
while providing enough juice to either keep you on pace with your hectic professional schedules, or keep
you contentedly cruising during those idyllic countryside sojourns.
The T-Cross 180 MPI S would be offered at P1.098M, while the 180 MPI SE would be pegged at P1.198
million with an additional discount of P30,000 off the announced SRPs. These introductory prices and
discounts will be available for those who will reserve their T-Cross units before the market introduction this
May.
And that should be the cue for those who’ve long been pining for a T-Cross to get in touch with their
nearest Volkswagen dealership for a reservation. You’ve waited long enough. It’s time to place the
crosshairs on your next target: Be among that elite group of T-Cross owners.
