Volkswagen T-Cross first edition

With anti-slip inserts and strength to support 200kg, they make entering the vehicle easier and safer, especially for children. Take the headache out of driving a trailer by adding a detachable tow bar to your T-Cross. It’s fully integrated with the trailer stabilisation system so you get extra support when towing. When you don’t need it, you can simply swivel the tow bar behind the bumper. At £23,150 RRP on the road, the T-Cross First Edition represents a value-packed launch of the new T-Cross in the UK, with an extensive standard-fit equipment list applied to all 250 examples. Volkswagen retailers are already accepting orders for the new model, with the first cars of the 250-vehicle run arriving on UK roads in April. T-Cross product manager Claire Haynes said: “The T-Cross is an exciting new addition to the growing Volkswagen SUV range, and there’s no better way to introduce it to the UK than offering something even more special to early customers. “These first 250 cars represent everything the exceptional T- Cross stands for – practicality, usability, comfort, and of course, fun. Order books for the rest of the T- Cross range open in March, with the T-Cross arriving into retailers in April.

extra helping hand. To keep you connected, the T-Cross has got it covered. Whether you need the latest traffic information, directions to your next destination or just fancy listening to your favourite music, the T-Cross is there to help. Connectivity is offered with Car- Net App Connect, which transfers your smartphone apps on to the touchscreen of your infotainment system. Telephone conversations can be held safely by activating the mobile interface from the radio touchscreen or the steering wheel button – Apple CarPlay and Andorid Auto are both supported too. All T-Cross First Edition models are powered by Volkswagen’s frugal 1l TSI petrol engine with 115PS, mated to a six-speed manual gearbox as standard, and two-wheel drive. Practicality is high on the newcomer’s list of talents with sliding rear seats fitted as standard, allowing an additional 70 litres of storage capacity, or up to 140mm of extra rear leg room. This is in addition to the already huge 455-litre luggage compartment. If the standard equipment isn’t enough, there are plenty of accessories ready to make your driving experience better. If you need a boost when getting into your T-Cross, the ultra- durable aluminium running boards can help.

IN FEBRUARY, Volkswagen announced the launch of the T-Cross First Edition – the initial iteration of the brand’s practical new compact SUV. This exclusive First Edition model is reserved for the first 250 UK customers of Volkswagen’s newest model and appears ahead of the full T-Cross range opening for order on March 5. The T-Cross First Edition gets a suite of equipment upgrades including a beats® sound system with 300-watt output and an extra subwoofer, Discover Media satellite navigation and LED headlights. Each of the exclusive 250 First Edition models will be finished in Pure White with silver roof rails and unique black styling throughout, with 18-inch ‘Funchal’ Adamantium alloy wheels. An exclusive decal on the car’s C- pillar further marks out the First Edition. The T-Cross is there to break the mould, complementing urban appeal with functional design. It’s easy to fall in love with its striking looks and contemporary styling, which are guaranteed to make a lasting impression. The LED headlights of the T-Cross First Edition have a singular signature style – especially the built-in LED lights with High Beam Assist and the wheels can help you add a personal touch to your T-Cross First Edition. To provide a helping hand on the road, the T-Cross Edition comes

with safety equipment to help you create your own path. Technologies such as Lane Assist, Blind Spot Sensors, Parking Distance Control and High Beam Assist are there to help you stay safe on all your

adventures. ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control) helps you to avoid accidents by always keeping your car at a safe distance from the traffic ahead. The system keeps you a safe
