The charm of a manual T-Cross

SIMPLICITY: ZIPPY AND FUN, IT SHOWS THE BASICS STILL WORK - AND PETROL ISN'T A KILLER

- Thami Kwazi

There’s beauty in simplicity. In a world where cars are becoming rolling computers with touchscreens, voice commands and endless drive modes, there’s something refreshing about climbing into a car that feels like... a car. A manual gearbox, a petrol tank that stretches a week’s worth of city driving, and just enough boot space for life’s essentials.

The 1.0 TSI Manual is exactly that: a compact SUV that strips things down to what matters most, without losing the style and zippiness that Jozi drivers crave.

And in the striking Clear Blue Metallic shade, it’s not just a car, it’s a conversation starter. Everyone comments on the colour, but what makes it worth driving goes deeper than paint. From Joburg to Pretoria and back, you're saving rands.

It’s a car that fits into your life.

It sits at that sweet spot between hatchback agility and SUV practicality. For those who spend most of their week zipping across Joburg traffic, it’s compact enough to squeeze into tricky parking spots and nimble enough to dart through congestion.
