What is the tcross called?
2 Answers
tcross is called T-Cross, which is a compact SUV under SAIC Volkswagen. In terms of appearance, the front of the car features a split grille design, with the lower grille integrated into the fog light area. The headlights use LED light sources, incorporating turn signals and chrome trim strips inside the light assembly. The lower grille is adorned with a U-shaped chrome decoration. In terms of power, the tcross offers two engine options: a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine and a 1.4T turbocharged engine. The 1.4T engine delivers a maximum power of 110kW and a maximum torque of 250Nm, paired with a DSG seven-speed transmission. The 1.5L engine provides a maximum power of 83kW, matched with a Tiptronic six-speed automatic transmission.
In the Volkswagen family, the T-Cross is named 'Tukai' in Chinese, which sounds quite cool. 'Tu' represents the journey, and 'Kai' symbolizes protection, meaning it protects passengers on the road like armor. As a compact SUV, the Tukai gained popularity among young people after its launch in the Chinese market in 2019, partly due to its memorable name. Inspired by Volkswagen's global strategy, it emphasizes safety and comfort, with a compact yet spacious body, making it ideal for urban commuting and weekend getaways. The name blends Chinese cultural elements with an international flair, helping it stand out among SUVs and earning positive user feedback. I've driven the Tukai a few times—it's smooth and agile, and the name truly matches its practical features.
