The top-spec trim is said to be available with panoramic roof, automatic park assist, 8-inch infotainment display, ambient lighting, digital console and much more.

Rivals for the T-Cross in India includes Nissan Kicks, Renault Captur, Hyundai Creta and Tata Harrier. Volkswagen will try pricing the T-Cross under INR 18 lakh for the top-spec model, starting with a petrol engine for well under INR 13 lakh.
