This vehicle is registered as the Tharu at the China National Intellectual Property Administration Trademark Office. As Volkswagen's fifth SUV product, it is positioned as a compact SUV. Here are the details about the T-Cross: 1. Exterior: The T-Cross adopts Volkswagen's latest family design language, featuring an inverted trapezoidal grille with chrome accents. The wide horizontal grille connects with the headlights on both sides, enhancing the visual width of the front end. It also comes equipped with lens-style daytime running lights. The grille adopts a mountain-range-inspired design, with hexagonal patterns formed by different materials. The lower grille features wing-shaped trim stretching toward both sides, catering to the aesthetic preferences of young consumers. The fog light area on the front bumper is stylishly designed with chrome accents, giving it a fresh and modern look. 2. Interior: The T-Cross features a three-spoke multifunctional flat-bottom steering wheel with chrome detailing, significantly enhancing its premium feel. The full LCD instrument cluster highlights the interior's technological appeal, complemented by a large multimedia LCD screen that supports navigation and integrates BeatsAudio, delivering a strong sense of fashion. For the first time, the model introduces Color-matching interior and exterior design, where the colored trim panels across the dashboard and seat accents match the body color.
That T-Cross model, SAIC Volkswagen gave it the Chinese name 'Tukai'. The name sounds quite imposing, and I think Volkswagen particularly likes to use the 'Tu' series for naming in China, such as Tiguan, Tukai, and Touran, all of which are easy to remember and practical. This car is positioned as a compact SUV, targeting young people or small families, with a fashionable yet not flashy design. It drives with ample power and is fuel-efficient, making it especially convenient for city driving. Personally, I think the name Tukai is quite fitting—it sounds like a reliable companion, perfect for daily commutes or weekend road trips. Many people who choose it value the brand and cost-effectiveness. Although it's priced in the mid-range, it comes with comprehensive safety features like automatic brake assist, making it a reassuring drive.
