The Active Info Display will also be offered as an extra. You will have to move the front seat forward slightly to fit a bulky rear-facing child seat, though. It's a clean, utilitarian place to be, and features everything you'd want and need at this price point. Carrying three in the back is still a bit of a squeeze, though. Is all that enough to float your boat? Volkswagen expects the T-Cross to appeal to young families as well as a few older customers, due to its tall-ish roof and elevated driving position.

The T-Roc, for context, is a fixed 445 litres. But with a rear-sliding bench and flexible seating, it offers the best luggage-space in the class: 455 litres with the rear seats up. The Polo-sized crossover — which measures 4 237 mm long with a wheelbase of 2 551 mm — will take on the likes of the Ford EcoSport and Renault Captur. The T-Cross is available in 12 colours, some of them decidedly jaunty, and matching hues for the wheels and dashboard are available as an option.

Ride quality is largely smooth, but a little bit tremulous on bumpy roads, something you feel more as a passenger than as a driver. Front-wheel drive would be standard, but power for both axles should be available as an option at least for top trims. Of course, that's helped by diesel's 184lb ft of torque, which gives you more than enough pull for inner-city driving as well as motorway cruising. Sales have already begun, and the first cars arrive in Britain next month. The first, a 95hp petrol unit, feels pretty sluggish and produces a distinct grumbling when you accelerate hard.

You know, for that time you go to that Tesco in the sea. If its name is confusingly similar to that of the T-Roc, so is its size and design.

Just like its bigger brother, the Touareg, the T-Cross is loaded up with a spread of technology to try and blow the competition out of the water with binary code.

Powertrain options remain a mystery, but Europeans should be able to pick from a variety of small-displacement turbocharged gasoline and diesel engines. It's quiet, with barely a natter on idle, and although the seven-speed box we used was indecisive at lower speeds, we still found it pacey when needed. Just what the market ordered, another crossover. This is almost exactly as large as the roomy Citroen and easily big enough to accommodate a bike with both its wheels attached. You even get adjustable lumbar support as standard to help prevent backache on long drives and passenger seat-height adjustment comes as standard across the range.
