The Volkswagen T-Cross may not be getting as much attention as other subcompact crossovers, but it has quietly become a success for the company, with 1.2 million units already delivered. In fact, the T-Cross is so popular that it’s already sold out for the entire year, even though it’s only July. Now, after approximately four years since its launch, the T-Cross is receiving a mid-cycle update to stay competitive in a challenging market.

The flagship R-Line trim of the 2024 T-Cross debuts with a new Grape Yellow solid color, which is accompanied by two new metallic paints: Clear Blue and Kings Red. The updates begin at the front of the car, where the T-Cross now comes standard with matrix LED headlights for the Style and R-Line models, and as an option for the lower-tier Life variant. These headlights are visually connected by a light bar that runs along the side of the Volkswagen badge.

In the future, VW will replace the old halogen headlights with non-adaptive LED headlights, which will be standard equipment on all T-Cross trims. Additionally, all versions of the T-Cross will feature silver underbody protection. The base model will come with 16-inch alloys, while the higher trims will receive larger 17-inch wheels.
