Any colour you like - but brighter is best

The T-Cross's Rubber Ducky colour is one of a wealth of trim options, writes Julie Marshall

Since Volkswagen's T-Cross SUV was first launched in 2019, it's been a phenomenal success and has sold more than 1.2 million worldwide.

The latest model, tested here, went on sale in 2024 and is as good as its predecessors.

Having said that, I would have loved to have driven about in the snazzy yellow Rubber Ducky vehicle rather than the staid Smokey Grey one that was delivered.

The bizarre name came about following a public poll, with 46 per cent opting for Rubber Ducky to describe the vibrant yellow paint.

T-Cross is available in four trimlevels: Life, Match, Style and Black Edition and the sporty R-Line.

There are three engines across the range: two three-cylinder one-litre petrol examples (94bhp and 113bhp) and a 1.5-litre petrol delivering 148bhp.
