Used Volkswagen T-Cross SEL for sale

What is the Volkswagen T-Cross SEL?

The Volkswagen T-Cross is a compact crossover model based on the popular Polo supermini, but this model benefits from a higher ride height and improved visibility.

SEL is a trim level that indicates luxury, so while this may be a relatively affordable model in the VW range, a T-Cross SEL will come with more than your basic hatchback or crossover can offer.

It used to cost new buyers several thousand more than entry-level models, but that difference has shrunk considerably, so buying a used Volkswagen T-Cross SEL is a very smart decision.

What are the Volkswagen T-Cross SEL specs?

Arguably the best engine you can get in a Volkswagen T-Cross SEL is the 1.0-litre petrol unit, which has 115hp, as opposed to the lesser-powered 95hp version you get in lower trim levels.

If you need more power, you can also pick the 150hp 1.5-litre petrol engine, while the 95hp 1.6-litre diesel unit offers excellent fuel economy.

The 1.0-litre and 1.6-litre engines are optionally available with Volkswagen’s smooth-shifting DSG automatic gearbox, while the punchy 1.5-litre petrol is only available with this transmission.

Used Volkswagen T-Cross SEL features and equipment

Volkswagen T-Cross SEL models stand out for their stylish upgrades, such as LED headlights, tinted windows and silver roof rails.

They also get excellent car tech, including an eight-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Other kit includes adaptive cruise control, dual-zone climate control and all-round parking sensors.

Watch out for worthwhile optional extras like a reversing camera, heated front seats, keyless entry, automatic high beams and a digital driver’s display behind the wheel.

Where the T-Cross SEL sits in the Volkswagen range

A Volkswagen T-Cross SEL is a very high-spec version of the German brand’s most affordable crossover.

It sits above the popular SE trim and the basic S model, coming second only to the R-Line model, which offers mainly styling enhancements.

Newer models come with Life, Match, Style and R-Line options, so if you’re after something a bit newer, consider a Match model.
