Volkswagen T-Roc (A11)

Subcompact Crossover

Product Gallery

Product Overview

Volkswagen T-Roc is a subcompact crossover in production from 2017 to 2020, whereupon it received a facelift. It was available with a range of inline-3 and inline-4 engines that displaced 1.0 to 2.0 liters.

Essentially a jacked-up VW Golf, the T-Roc has a decent exterior design but no offroad capabilities or extra storage space, making it all hat and no cattle. It also uses semi-independent rear suspensions, which testifies to its lowly origins.

Reviewer score 58% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from autocar have found:

The T-Roc R joins the likes of the Audi SQ2, Cupra Ateca and BMW X2 M35i in the ever expanding performance crossover sphere. It is based on Volkswagen’s MQB architecture and makes use of the now ubiquitous EA888 turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder motor. A new aluminium subframe helps facilitate a far sportier suspension calibration and the uprated 17in performance brakes that are optional on the Golf R are thrown in as standard.

Pros

Powerful turbocharged 4.0-litre four-cylinder engine
Impressive handling

Cons

Lacklustre infotainment
Dull interior plastics

Reviewer score 73% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from autoexpress have found:

The T-Roc gets an 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system, with Bluetooth, DAB radio and USB connectivity. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are fitted to SE models and above. The Ford Kuga, Hyundai Tucson, Kia Sportage, Nissan Qashqai and Peugeot 3008 should not be overlooked. A small number of engine and gearbox-related problems have been reported.

Pros

Fantastic safety kit
Comfortable to drive
Decent infotainment system

Cons

Lack of space for six-footers
