The central element inside the new T-Cross is a free-standing infotainment display. The standard touchscreen measures eight inches across the diagonal, while the top-of-the-range version has a 9.2-inch display.

The dash panel has also undergone a complete redesign with soft-upholstered surface materials - as in larger Volkswagen models.

Towing capacity has also been increased allowing for up to three e-bikes to be carried.

Driver aids see VW's Travel Assist system fitted as standard which comes with adaptive cruise control, lane assistance and speed limit monitoring.

The range is powered by 1.0-litre TSI turbo petrol engines with either 95 or 115ps available or 1.5 TSI engines developing 150ps on mid and high grades.

Six speed manual and seven speed DSG transmissions across all trim levels.
