Volkswagen has revealed the new T-Cross, a comprehensive update for its popular compact SUV. The new model features a fresh design, more technology, improved safety, and lower emissions. It will be available in Europe in early 2024 and other markets later that year.
The 2024 Volkswagen T-Cross is based on the MQB platform, which allows for a spacious interior and a versatile luggage compartment. The new model has a length of 4.11 meters (13.5 feet) and a wheelbase of 2.56 meters (8.4 feet), making it ideal for urban driving and parking. The luggage compartment can hold up to 455 liters (16 cubic feet) of cargo and can be expanded to 1,281 liters (45.2 cubic feet) by folding the rear seats.
The exterior design of the 2024 Volkswagen T-Cross has been refined with new LED headlights and taillights, a redesigned front bumper and grille, and new alloy wheels. The new model also offers more personalization options, with 12 exterior colors, four roof colors, and four interior color packages to choose from.
The interior of the 2024 Volkswagen T-Cross has been upgraded with a new digital cockpit, a 9.2-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a wireless charging pad for smartphones. The new model also features a multifunction steering wheel, ambient lighting, heated seats, and a panoramic sunroof.
The 2024 Volkswagen T-Cross is equipped with a range of efficient engines that comply with the Euro 6d emission standard. The petrol engines include a 1.0-liter three-cylinder TSI with 95 or 110 horsepower and a 1.5-liter four-cylinder TSI with 150 horsepower. The diesel engine is a 1.6-liter four-cylinder TDI with 95 horsepower. All engines are paired with either a manual or an automatic transmission.

The new model also offers a mild hybrid option, which combines a 1.0-liter three-cylinder TSI engine with 110 horsepower and a 48-volt electric system that reduces fuel consumption and CO2 emissions by up to 10%. The mild hybrid option is only available with an automatic transmission.
The 2024 Volkswagen T-Cross boasts a high level of safety and driver assistance systems, such as lane assist, front assist, adaptive cruise control, blind spot monitor, rear traffic alert, park assist, emergency assist, and travel assist. The new model also features airbags for the driver and front passenger, side airbags for the front seats, curtain airbags for the front and rear seats, and an eCall system that automatically contacts emergency services in case of an accident.
The 2024 Volkswagen T-Cross is expected to have a starting price of around $23,000 in Europe (converted from EUR), which is slightly higher than the current model. However, the new model offers more value for money with its improved features and performance.
The 2024 Volkswagen T-Cross is one of the most successful models in Volkswagen’s SUV portfolio, including the Volkswagen T-Roc, Volkswagen Tiguan, Tiguan Allspace, Touareg, ID.4, and Taos. The compact SUV segment is one of the fastest-growing segments in the global automotive market, and Volkswagen aims to strengthen its position with the new T-Cross.

According to Ralf Brandstätter, CEO of Volkswagen Passenger Cars: “The T-Cross is an important part of our global SUV offensive. With its fresh design, high functionality, innovative technology, and sustainable drive systems, it appeals to customers worldwide.”
The 2024 Volkswagen T-Cross will debut publicly at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2024. It will compete with other compact SUVs such as the Ford EcoSport, Hyundai Kona, Kia Stonic, Nissan Juke, Peugeot 2008, Renault Captur, Skoda Kamiq, and Toyota Yaris Cross.
