The T-Cross recorded its first success at the Top 12 Best Buys by winning the Small SUV/Crossover category. Rounding off Volkswagen’s awards on the night was the Tiguan which won the Midsize SUV/Crossover category, for the fourth time in a row.
“For the past 63 years, Car Magazine has been the most recognised and respected voice in motoring journalism in South Africa and to be the most awarded manufacturer at this year’s awards is something we are incredibly thrilled about. I am particularly proud of the T-Cross, which has received this great accolade after having been launched in South Africa only six months ago,” said Mike Glendinning; Volkswagen Group South Africa Sales and Marketing Director.
