Product Overview

Volkswagen T-Roc Cabriolet (chassis code AC7) is an affordable subcompact convertible crossover in production from 2019. It is available with a range of inline-4 engines that displaced 1.0 to 1.5 liters.
Unfortunately, while the T-Roc is an ugly and useless vehicle, the T-Roc Cabriolet is even worse in both regards. One silver lining is that humanity is not so far beyond sanity that VW is not selling many units.
Utility-minded owners will have to keep in mind that the 284L (10cu-ft) cargo space may not be sufficient.

Reviewer score 52%
Reviewers from autocar have found the following***:
The T-Roc Cabriolet is a genuine four-seater, with enough space in the rear for two adults of average height. The roof folds easily and automatically in just 15sec and drops straight into a space above the boot. Accelerating from 0-62mph takes 12.3sec, it’s strictly a front-wheel drive car, despite the looks and the transversely mounted engine.

Pros
  • Stylish looks
  • Comfortable to drive
  • Decent infotainment system
Cons
  • Not the most fun to drive

Reviewers from autocar have found the following***:
The new Volkswagen T-Roc Cabriolet is a convertible SUV. With the multi-layered fabric roof up, the familiar T- Roc styling largely remains in place. The biggest difference is the removal of the two rear doors, and the addition of 34mm to the car’s overall length, with the wheelbase extended by 37mm.

Pros
  • Comfortable ride
  • Comfortable to drive

Cons

Volkswagen's new T-Roc Cabriolet is the brand's sole open-top model. It's a multi-layer fabric structure designed to mimic the lines of the fixed-roof model. The turbocharged 1.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine, with 148bhp and 184lb ft of torque, is terrifically flexible.

Pros
  • Open-top experience

  • Good standard equipment
Cons
  • Fidgety ride
  • Expensive for what’s inside

Reviewers from autoexpress have found the following***:
The T-Roc Cabriolet is good enough to drive, but not much fun. It never settles down, even on roads that seem smooth in most cars. Over big bumps and drain covers it shudders and crashes. It doesn't settle significantly when you get up to higher speeds, either. There are too many hard plastics and cheap-looking materials here.

Pros
  • Comfortable to drive

Cons
  • Uncomfortable ride
  • Not much fun to drive
