Tacqua and T-Cross have differences in interior, body dimensions, powertrain, and entry-level automatic transmission models. Below are the relevant introductions of Tacqua and T-Cross: Interior: The T-Cross features interior trim panels with color-coordinated accents matching the exterior body color, while the Tacqua adopts an all-black interior design theme. Body Dimensions: Tacqua measures 4194mm in length, 1760mm in width, 1601mm in height, with a 2651mm wheelbase; T-Cross measures 4218mm in length, 1760mm in width, 1589mm in height, with the same 2651mm wheelbase. Powertrain: The 1.4T models deliver a maximum power of 150 horsepower and peak torque of 250 N·m, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. The 1.5L models produce 113 horsepower and 145 N·m of torque. However, the T-Cross 1.5L models are equipped with a 6-speed automatic transmission, whereas the Tacqua offers either a 5-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission. Entry-level Automatic Transmission Models: The T-Cross includes additional features like cruise control and a multifunction steering wheel compared to the Tacqua, while the Tacqua offers rearview camera, heated mirrors, and rear air vents that the T-Cross lacks.
I've been driving the Tacqua for a while, and last week I test drove the T-Cross. The main differences I noticed are in size and design. The Tacqua is more compact, making it ideal for city driving and easier parking. The T-Cross is slightly larger with a more sporty design. In terms of space, the T-Cross offers more room in the back seats and a larger trunk, making it better for carrying cargo. Both have a 1.5T engine, but the T-Cross has a firmer suspension setup, providing better stability in corners, while the Tacqua offers a more comfortable ride. Fuel consumption is similar, with the Tacqua averaging around 7 liters per 100 km in the city. In terms of features, the high-end T-Cross comes with smart navigation, while the Tacqua focuses on basic practicality and is more affordable. If you mainly commute in the city, the Tacqua is sufficient; but if you enjoy short road trips, the T-Cross is a great choice. Both are from Volkswagen, ensuring reliable quality. I recommend test driving both before making a decision, based on personal preference.
