Move up the range and you get added extras such as larger alloy wheels, a larger central infotainment display with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, lane-keep assist and adaptive cruise control.

It's also safe, earning a full five stars in its most recent Euro NCAP safety test, scoring particularly well for adult and child occupant safety. 

How much does the Volkswagen T-Cross cost to run?

A used VW T-Cross is available with the choice of three different engines: two petrols and one larger diesel.
