'Think they are dreaming, the Mazda has a 110kw motor in their entry model against 85kw in the VW. They tried this with the UP and it fell on its face and it has got a triple against a four cylinder as well, good luck with that in Oz. They are trying the bait and catch method, get the punter in with a apparently low entry price and up sell to the more powerful motor at a dearer price than the competition.

The thing the T-Cross has going for it is that it's 100+kg lighter to start with. Most people are going to be driving around with 1 or maybe 2 passengers maximum. I think it's enough for a city car. I'm not sure the T-Cross is a direct 1:1 comparison to the CX-3.

Though I'm with you on the up! comparison - it just wasn't cheap and cheerful enough so in reality it was competing at the same price point as larger cars and therefore got overlooked. I don't want to put a nail in it's coffin but I suspect the T-Cross may suffer the same fate... unless petrol prices take a massive hike and people are looking to buy more fuel efficient cars.

VW outpaces them on the torque values 195Nm vs VW 200Nm so its comparable.

T-Cross will be a sales hit if South African sales are anything to go by.

up! failed for a variety of reasons main one being no Automatic option.
Plus the micro car segment is a very price sensitive and competitive.

Well yes if you say so, personally 5Nm of torque does not seem like a deal maker to me. If you recall Toyota had a shot at this market a few years ago and dropped the idea after a short time as well.
