Used Volkswagen T-Cross for sale

The T-Cross comes with solid safety technology, including autonomous emergency braking, lane-keep assist, multiple airbags and ISOFIX points in the front and rear. It received a full five-star Euro NCAP rating in 2019, with high marks for adult and child occupant protection.

The most popular models have a 1.0-litre turbo petrol engine with 95bhp, 110bhp, or 115bhp depending on spec. There is also a 1.5-litre TSI petrol with more power and a 1.6-litre diesel featured in 2019 to 2023 models. Gearboxes include 5-speed or 6-speed manuals and direct-shift automatics.

All models come with an 8-inch colour touchscreen, DAB radio, Bluetooth and USB connectivity. Trim levels add features like Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, adaptive cruise control, extra USB ports, digital instrument display, driving assistance, built-in satnav, and rear parking sensors or cameras from 2020 onwards.

The 1.0-litre TSI petrol officially returns 46-47mpg combined, with real-world figures often above 40mpg. The 1.6-litre TDI diesel offers up to 54mpg combined. Insurance and road tax costs are reasonable, making it a sensible everyday choice.

Check for exterior bodywork marks due to thick rear pillars affecting parking, inspect interior plastics for scratches especially on higher mileage cars, ensure all tech works including infotainment and reversing camera, and confirm completion of an airbag recall on earlier cars. A thorough check can be booked with The AA Vehicle Inspection.

The T-Cross ranks highly in UK reliability and owner satisfaction surveys, placing in the small SUV category’s top ten in recent years. Most reported issues are minor electronics-related ones. Volkswagen’s established dealer network and reasonable servicing costs mean owning a used T-Cross should be relatively stress-free.
