THE first details of the new Volkswagen T-Cross compact SUV have been revealed ahead of the car arriving in 2024.

With a revamped design, more standard equipment and a new-look interior the car will also have the option of a system which allows for semi-automated driving.

From the outside, the updated T-Cross has new integrated LED lights front and rear which include a matrix system for optimal use.

Inside, there is a free-standing infotainment 9.2-inch display while the dash panel has undergone a complete redesign and now features soft-upholstered and significantly higher-quality surface materials.

The same applies to the front door trims of the Style and R-Line versions.

A manual air conditioningsystem is standard with VW's Air Care Climatronic automatic air conditioner with back-lit touch sliders available as an option.

Volkswagen says the market launch in the UK will begin in the second quarter of 2024. Prices are still to be announced but can be expected to show a slight increase in the current £23,470 starting point.
