What made this couple choose the VW T-Cross?

The Volkswagen T-Cross is considered by many to be the saving grace of Volkswagen in the Philippines after sales slowed since around 2018 or 2019 when the German brand revamped its local lineup. We’ve already felt this as truth be told, just before writing this article, we saw around four or five different units of the T-Cross plying local streets, more than any other Volkswagen model currently available in the country and that’s a good thing.

Now, Volkswagen Philippines has shared with us the story of a couple, Mary Grace Enriquez and her husband, who chose the T-Cross as their second vehicle.

Among the couple’s requirements for their second vehicle was that it would be larger with more space. According to Mary Grace, “Our tiny vehicle suited us when there’s just my husband and I. But when we have to have other people ride with us, it gets really cramped. I said the new vehicle will have to have at least four doors. And because we live in an area where the main road would be flooded during the rainy season, we wanted a vehicle with high ground clearance.  So, we agreed to look at subcompact SUVs.”

What made them ultimately choose the T-Cross were the many thoughtful design, safety, and functional features that allowed the couple to enjoy more than just one aspect of the vehicle. For Mary Grace, she was “drawn to its safety features. Being a new driver, knowing that Volkswagen’s technology will keep me safe in possible unforeseen events puts me at ease.”

Additionally, aside from the T-Cross’ unique features and trendy design such as its infotainment system with Apple CarPlay, panoramic sunroof, and its leather and fabric combination seating material, Mary Grace adds that her husband enjoyed the functionalities of the T-Cross and “was overjoyed to find that the T-Cross has cornering lights. I suppose he has never experienced this in his years of driving.” 

On top of all these perks, the Volkswagen Philippines says the T-Cross maintains a stress-free ownership experience, with its once a year periodic maintenance service (PMS) or 10,000 km (whichever comes first), on top of the warranty coverage of 3 years or 100,000 km (whichever comes first), spare parts warranty of 2 years, and service quality consistent with Volkswagen standards across the world. 

In a future that diverges to so many possibilities, Mary Grace said she chose the one that converges, instead. “I chose what is complete in one package—the vehicle where style meets comfort and safety.” This choice is now moving Mary Grace and her husband to so many more things.
