The T-Cross will be available with four efficient turbocharged engines to ensure swift travel. The two 1.0 TSI three-cylinder petrol engines with petrol particulate filter generate 70 kW / 95 PS or 85 kW / 115 PS. While the version with 70 kW / 95 PS can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 11.5 seconds and has a top speed of 180 km/h, the more potent variant can reach 100 km/h in just 9.9 seconds and reach a top speed of 193 km/h (values are identical for the manual gearbox and DSG variants).The ranger topper is the 1.5 TSI four-cylinder version, which can rely on 110 kW / 150 PS. It goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 7.8 seconds and has a top speed of 220 km/h. A 1.6 TDI four-cylinder engine with 70 kW / 95 PS completes the range. In conjunction with the manual gearbox, it requires 12.0 seconds to reach 100 km/h (12.4 seconds for the DSG) and has a top speed of 181 km/h (180 km/h for the DSG). All engines comply with the latest emission standard Euro 6D-TEMP. The two petrol engines with 1.0 litre capacity belong to the established EA211 Volkswagen engine family, with a crankcase made from die-cast aluminium.

Depending on the drivetrain and equipment range selected, a five- or six-speed manual gearbox or a seven-speed DSG directs power to the front axle. The entry-level petrol engine (70 kW / 95 PS) is combined with a five-speed manual gearbox, while the 85 kW / 115 PS variant is equipped with a six-speed manual gearbox as standard, or with the highly efficient seven-speed DSG as an optional extra. The 1.5 litre petrol engine (110 kW / 150 PS) is paired with a seven-speed DSG as standard. The 1.6 TDI diesel engine is available either with a five-speed manual gearbox or a seven-speed DSG. All engines have a start/stop system and brake energy recuperation.

Petrol engines in detail
The basic petrol engine in the 1.0 TSI delivers 70 kW / 95 PS at 5,500 rpm, has a maximum torque of 175 Nm at 2,000 to 3,500 rpm, and is as agile as it is efficient. The three-cylinder engine accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 11.5 seconds and can reach a top speed of 180 km/h.
The second three-cylinder variant of the 1.0 TSI generates power of 85 kW / 115 PS. The turbocharged direct injection engine develops the highest performance at 5,500 rpm. The maximum torque of 200 Nm is available between 2,000 and 3,500 rpm. This version goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 9.9 seconds and has a top speed of 193 km/h (values are identical for the manual gearbox and DSG variants).
The four-cylinder 1.5 TSI with 110 kW / 150 PS will also be available shortly after market launch. This high-tech unit is equipped with Active Cylinder Management. Depending on the operating situation, this function shuts down two cylinders temporarily and thus significantly reduces consumption and emissions. The four-cylinder turbocharged engine develops its maximum torque of 250 Nm between 1,500 and 3,500 rpm. It generates maximum power between 5,000 and 6,000 rpm. Special features of the turbocharged engine include the fully variable, map-controlled oil pump; a polymer-coated first main bearing on the crankshaft; efficient indirect charge air cooling and extremely innovative thermal management. The injection pressure is 350 bar. The 1.5 TSI accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 7.8 seconds and reaches a top speed of 220 km/h.
Diesel engine in detail
The 1.6 TDI four-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine produces 70 kW / 95 PS and provides this power at between 3,250 and 4,000 rpm. The maximum torque is 250 Nm. Common rail injection ensures very quiet combustion. The 1.6 TDI accelerates to 100 km/h in 12.0 seconds (DSG 12.4 seconds) and reaches a top speed of 181 km/h (DSG 180 km/h).
