While the segment’s popularity has been exploding, and early adopters like Mazda, Subaru and Hyundai have been making hay with now-established nameplates like CX-3, XV and Kona, Wolfsburg has been noticeably absent.

Enter the T-Cross. Swanning into Aussie showrooms this month, it’s the opening salvo in VW’s small-SUV offensive which also includes the soon-to-arrive (and slightly larger) T-Roc.

The T-Cross is largely based on the Polo light hatch, which means MQB underpinnings and a 1.0-litre three-cylinder turbo with 85kW/200Nm powering the front wheels.
