The car went on sale in April and is positioned as a small SUV with a total of 1.5L/1.4T power and a price range of 12.79-159900 yuan.

Tudai is based on the MQB-A0 platform, which is the same platform as the new Polo Plus, and the new generation of Audi A1 is also on this platform. In terms of appearance, T-Cross adopts Volkswagen family-style design, which is similar to Tuang and Tuyue's front face style. The rear part of the car is designed with a through taillight, but the middle part cannot be lit.

With the product power of Volkswagen, even the starting price of the "POLO" that increases the chassis from nearly 130000 can still attract consumers. Sales figures show that T-Cross sold 5230 vehicles in June, with a cumulative sales of 17647 so far.
