2 Answers
The differences between the 2020 and 2021 T-Cross models are: 1. Different maximum horsepower: the 2020 T-Cross has a maximum horsepower of 113ps; the 2021 T-Cross has a maximum horsepower of 150ps. 2. Different maximum torque: the 2020 T-Cross has a maximum torque of 145nm; the 2021 T-Cross has a maximum torque of 250nm. Taking the 2021 T-Cross as an example, it is a compact SUV with a body length, width, and height of 4218mm, 1760mm, and 1599mm respectively, a wheelbase of 2651mm, and a fuel tank capacity of 42.5l. The 2021 T-Cross is equipped with a 1.5l naturally aspirated engine, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.
I've been driving the 2020 T-Cross for almost a year and just tried the 2021 model, noticing significant differences. The 2021 version features an upgraded 9.2-inch infotainment screen with a clearer interface and much faster response. Operating music or navigation no longer requires poking the screen hard, and it supports wireless CarPlay and Android Auto, allowing direct phone connection for music playback while driving—no need for a data cable. Externally, the 2021 model adds glossy chrome trim to the front bumper and sports a more dynamic wheel design, giving it a more stylish overall look. On the safety front, it includes new blind-spot monitoring and automatic high-beam assist, making highway driving more reassuring. The interior materials are also softer, and the seats offer optional massage functions for comfort on long trips. While the 2020 model performs well, these small upgrades in the 2021 version are quite practical, especially appealing to younger drivers. It's advisable to test drive both models before making a choice—the differences are quite noticeable.
