For towing smaller caravans this small SUV is a stylish choice, says Euan Doig

IN BOTH THE new and used-car markets, SUVs are big news.
But what if you simply don't need big? What if you just want 'manageable but still able to tow'? Well, in that case, Volkswagen has the T-Cross, a small SUV based on the underpinnings of the VW Polo.
So, it's ideal for those who need compact dimensions and low running costs. And if you regularly tow, it's got something for you, too.
What's it like inside?Considering that the T-Cross has very similar dimensions to a Ford Fiesta or Volkswagen Polo, it's actually generous in terms of interior space.
Those in the two front seats shouldn't have any trouble getting comfortable, while those in the rear seats should have enough room to sit comfortably for longer trips, especially if those up front are prepared to slide forward and compromise on legroom.
