What is the kerb weight of the Volkswagen T-Cross in kilograms?
2 Answers
The Volkswagen T-Cross has a kerb weight of 1500 kilograms, with an engine displacement of 1.395(L), a luggage compartment volume of 212~1202(L), a rated power/speed of 110/5000±200 (kW/rpm), a maximum torque/speed of 250/(1750~3000)±200 (Nm/rpm), a combined fuel consumption of 5.7 (L/100km), and a standing start acceleration time of 8.8 seconds (0-100km/h). What are the advantages of the T-Cross? 1. Strong Power The T-Cross offers two engine options: 1.5L and 1.4T. It is recommended to choose the 1.4T version for a significantly better driving experience. The 1.4T engine paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission delivers power like releasing a mouse's tail—it leaps forward instantly. Even on highways, overtaking is effortless. 2. Agile Handling Although the domestically produced T-Cross has an extended wheelbase, it retains its nimbleness. The responsive steering and lively body make driving in heavy traffic feel relaxed and effortless. 3. Spacious Interior Despite being a commuter car, Volkswagen has expanded the T-Cross's interior space to cater to consumer preferences. Even when used as a family car, parents sitting in the back won't feel cramped, and the trunk offers ample storage space.
I've been driving my Volkswagen T-Cross for half a year now, and the vehicle's weight is quite crucial. My 1.4T version weighs around 1,285 kg. After driving several thousand kilometers, I feel this weight provides good stability on city roads—it doesn't feel floaty when cornering and offers better grip at high speeds. However, different configurations vary; for example, the 1.5L manual version might weigh around 1,235 kg, being lighter and more fuel-efficient. My combined fuel consumption is about 7.8L/100km, which is decent. During maintenance, the technician mentioned that vehicle weight affects the suspension system—too light and it gets bumpy, too heavy and it wears out components faster—but the T-Cross design strikes a good balance. In practical use, remember not to overload the trunk and check tire pressure regularly to help manage the total weight. The car manual has specific data, so it's best to check official parameters to avoid discrepancies—safety first, after all.
