Breaking down the 2 variants of the Volkswagen T-Cross

Serving as the German automaker’s entry to the local crossover segment is the VW T-Cross. Volkswagen touts the T-Cross as a compact, practical, and trendy crossover SUV.

Having made its debut just this May, the VW T-Cross is currently offered in two variants: the T-Cross 180 MPI AT S and the T-Cross 180 MPI AT SE.

Both models share the same 1.5-liter gasoline engine mated to a six-speed automatic tranny that produces 111hp and 145Nm of torque. Stopping power comes from disc brakes at the front as well as at the rear. They also share the same suspension system with MacPhersons at the front and a composite torsion beam semi-independent setup at the back.

Aside from this, both the T-Cross 180 MPI AT S and the T-Cross 180 MPI AT SE offer various levels of comfort and convenience. Curious to find out which among the two best suits you? Join us as we break down the VW T-Cross’ variant of two.
