The company has unveiled the official sketch a few days ago, showing Euro-spec version of this VW compact SUV which is followed up with a teaser video covering T-Cross in camouflage. The Euro-spec SUV has approximately the same dimensions as the MQB A0-based sixth-gen Polo. The India-spec T-Cross could be bigger as compared to the Euro-spec model.
