A-segment SUV type cars seem to be getting more and more crowded this year. How not, PT Garuda Mataram Motor as the agent of the VW brand holder in Indonesia, is rumored to be presenting the Volkswagen T-Cross next week!
As with the virtual launch invitation received by the Autofun.co.id editorial email, in the message it was written that the launch of the more premium Toyota Raize competitor will be held on Wednesday, February 23, 2022 at 10:00 - 11:00 WIB.
Knowing the figure of the Volkswagen T-Cross, VW's latest line-up which is positioned under the Tiguan has previously been included in the list of new cars contained in the Minister of Home Affairs Regulation. There is written only one variant, namely the Volkswagen T-Cross 1.0 TSI AT
Does the Volkswagen T-Cross 2022 look like the VW Taigun in India?
As reported, the Volkswagen T-Cross has the same appearance as the VW Taigun distributed in Bollywood. At the front there is a hood with a muscular shape, as well as a horizontal grille that seems to be connected to the two main lights by adopting LED projector technology.
The bumper itself gets an elongated chrome accent that looks dynamic and is equipped with two fog lamps. Looking at the side, this car has fan model wheels that are whitewashed with dual-tone coloring, as well as additional roof rails on top.
In order to emphasize the impression of a tough SUV, on the plate there is a straight line stretching from the front door which is continuously connected to the stop lamp.
Looking at the rear shape, the latest VW line also looks so attractive, modern and sporty thanks to the embedded LED bar that is connected to a stop lamp with LED technology. For the bumper, a prestigious impression also radiates from this car thanks to the combination of an elongated chrome list and the presence of an under guard that is given a touch of silver.
Volkswagen T-Cross has a 1.0L engine with Turbo Boost
The Volkswagen T-Cross 1.0 TSI AT, as the only variant of the T-Cross sold in the country, uses a 1.0L TSI (Turbocharged Stratified Injection) engine with a capacity of 999 cc which, according to data on paper, can generate power up to 115 PS @ 5000-5000 rpm with peak torque up to 178 Nm @ 1750-4500 rpm.
To make it work, the T-Cross 1.0 TSI AT adopts a 6-speed automatic transmission which is then routed to the front axle.
