That puts the T-Cross on par with rivals like the Citroen C3 Aircross and Toyota Yaris Cross, but behind the Dacia Duster, which retains between 55 and 63 per cent of its original value over the same period.

Some rivals are more funky to look at, but the T-Cross cabin is smart and the in-car tech is great

In a class that’s full of quirky, colourful and interesting designs, the T-Cross is not the most eye-catching small SUV around, but it looks smart in a way that is sure to appeal to Volkswagen’s fan base. If you do want to liven things up beyond the usual array of white, grey and black paint options, the T-Cross is available in a fetching Clear Blue metallic, a pricey Kings Red metallic for £940, or a bold Rubber Ducky Yellow. The general public voted for the latter name as part of a social media poll.
Our preferred version of T-Cross is Match, which includes:
- 17-inch alloy wheels
- Reversing camera
- Keyless entry and start
- Rear privacy glass
The luxury Style Edition trim features 18-inch alloys, adaptive LED headlights, a fully configurable 10.25-inch digital driver’s display, sat-nav, and dual-zone climate control. R-Line and Black Edition are the only trim levels you can option the more powerful 1.5-litre engine with, and they have a sportier appearance both inside and out, but the latter is better specified with the adaptive LED headlights of the Style Edition.
Interior and dashboard design
Inside, the dashboard layout is almost identical to that of the closely related Polo. That means there’s an eight-inch infotainment display sitting above a pair of central air vents, simple, logical control layouts and an attractive steering wheel design. Life and Match trims have a bit of silver trim across the dash that’s a bit more jazzy than the darker panels of R-Line cars, while Style can be had with a Cosmic Blue interior or a contrasting Mistral and Titanium Black interior.
