The VW T-Cross was first unveiled at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show as a concept, and 2019 might just be the year we see this itsy bitsy SUV make it to market.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">A global increase in demand for smaller SUVs prompted the German car manufacturer to conceptualise the T-Cross, which according to VW will soon be going into <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">full production before it is released in several markets But, while we have an idea of what it looks like, its final production appearance is still a mystery.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">We do know that the T-Cross will be 4,107mm long, and is billed as being as comfortable in the city as it is for outdoor excursions \u2013 making it ideal for the SA market. A lot of drivers have to do significant city commuting for work, but also want to be able to go on bushveld adventures when the urge strikes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>As it stands, it<span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"> looks like it will be a bit of a combination between the Cross Polo and another concept car VW has discussed before \u2013 the T-Roc. An image of what is presumed to be the trial versions of the T-Cross have already hit the web, and it looks like it will compete well in the small SUV segment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">While Volkswagen\u00a0 has indicated that it is taking the design and production of the\u00a0 VW T-Cross seriously,\u00a0 a definite date for release has yet to be confirmed. <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Rumours seem to suggest it\u2019s looking at a 2019 release \u2013 but official details from VW will have to be confirmed before anyone starts planning any purchases.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Love technological innovations?
