REVIEW | Pocket-friendly VW T-Cross Comfortline is pick of the bunch

Combining stylish aesthetics, fine road manners and useful all round performance, it’s not hard to see why this compact SUV ranked as SA’s 14th best-selling car of 2021. While the Highline model impressed me when I sampled it before Covid-19 turned our world into a dog and pony show , it is perhaps its less powerful Comfortline sibling that now makes the most buying sense.

With two less forward ratios there’s arguably a bit more turbo lag in certain situations but on the whole there’s more than enough oomph here to propel you along the black stuff at a useful rate of knots. The Comfortline's detuned 1.0-litre three-cylinder turbo engine provided ample shove for day-to-day driving.In terms of the overall driving experience, the Comfortline ferrets its way through corners with the same verve as other T-Cross models: its Polo-sourced underpinnings bestowing this compact SUV with the kind of nimble, sure footed handling that y encourages you to carry a bit of speed through corners. Sure, it’s no GTI but you won’t die from boredom either.
