Volkswagen T-Roc review 2021: It's like a Golf, just with more SUV

preview_player
Показать описание
The 2021 Volkswagen T-Roc is smaller than a Tiguan, but slightly bigger than a Volkswagen Golf. It's more like an 'SUV Golf'. With an all-new Golf now launched, does the Volkswagen T-Roc still make sense as an alternative to the popular hatchback?

Paul Maric tests the Volkswagen T-Roc to see if it's any good and whether you should outlay your hard earned cash on one.

I bought T-ROC X few months ago, and I am loving it. The driving is super good, and it's pretty fast. The features i like most in this car is the firm grip on the road while driving on highways, and it adjusts headlights adaptively from high to low beam when it sees car at front in both directions in night, Park Assist and the exterior quality, specially the body which is very strong and solid unlike all other Japanese or Korean Cars. The TROC X has the Beat's sound and panoramic sun roof which makes it more fantastic.

Informative Review! I am from Germany and I have driven a T-Roc 190PS awd for 2 Years.
Here are my pros and cons.
Pros:The most agile and comfortable(with adaptive dampers and 18 inch wheels) SUV in this class. In these categories no chance for competitors like Mazda CX30 (much stiffer, but great noise insulation and intererieur), Hyundai Kona(also much stiffer )or Skoda Kamiq(as comfortable as the T-Roc, but less sporty ).A lot and good assistance systems.Most of the time fast DSG7 for bigger engines like 190PS TSI or 190PS PS TDI.
Cons:Cheap plastic Interieur, ridiculous Beasts Sound System, only average noise insulation(for example Mazda CX30 has brilliant noise insulation ).

Had my T-Roc 2 weeks now with all add on's, traded in my 2017 Golf Trendline for it. After my Golf was run in the back off twice I wanted something that was a bit taller so that people can see me when I'm stopped! I loved my Golf and didn't want to part with it but this was the perfect choice for me as it was my Golf turned into a SUV! The price was more than I would have liked to have spent and it is over priced, but I'm happy with it! Plus it is for business use so instant asset write off, helped make my decision.

Just got confirmation that I will be getting mine in 12 days (X Edition in red and black... I know, the colour isnt for everyone). Thanks for the review as it did help me make my final decision. I am a Mazda lover and still am however after testing the the top specced CX30 we decided to go with the T-Roc. Yes, the interior is a bit scratchy and not as plush as the CX30 but the drive put a smile on my face. I agree that the cost is a little steep but after fleet discount both the price was quite similar. Keep up the good work and no doubt I will be back on the channel when I need to replace my other car!!

I'm going to the dealership to buy it. Can't wait, thanks for the informative video.

Edit: purchased the car for a couple of months now. I love it!

I ‘ve owned a 140 R line for about 3 months now. Very happy with it……great performance, handling, quality feel about the car, very solid, fun to drive…………yes the hard interior plastics are present but don’t understand what all the negativity is about, I don’t find it all that bad ………lots of positives about the car………….. my only issue is lack of driver electric seat otherwise very happy with my choice.

In India, we have its FWD version but it is imported so the costs is more than Indian made slightly bigger cars like Kia Seltos, Nissan Kicks, Renault Duster etc. Even bigger models like Jeep Compass and Tata Harrier (search about it) comes in the same cost as T-roc here

The Kamiq is based on the same platform but with more specs and more spacious 2nd row, air vents in back row, dual climate control, virtual cockpit and electric tailgate standard and 5k cheaper! I know which one Im getting

Had my 1.5 tsi r-line for almost a year now & love it. Drives well & fun with a bit of poke to it. Love all the gadgets especially the acc. Great on fual with an average 40mpg on country roads up & down hills.
Will definitely have another after this if the deal is right. Down side is the wheels are a nightmare to keep clean with all the hollows etc but look amazing, also only has a little clock on radio when on & can't put one on driving display. 👍😎

It’s nice, but a fully loaded Skoda Kamiq Monte Carlo with the travel pack is $39, 000. It’s also roomier with a nicer interior. The only thing you miss out on AWD and the 2.0L.

With the golf8 now out, this is last gen vw. It'll be interesting to see how you like(?) It inside with its tesla-ified screen-does-everything interior. And whether the public even notices, or cares

Buying t Roc too. But only the TSI110 with some upgrades/additions.
First time seeing it, I fell in love head over heels. Needed to do further research and watched a lot of reviews - so far it’s not bad apart from bit of flaws overall a great compact suv for me. Thanks for the excellent review!

Just ordered the 140 sport. It's arriving at the end of April. Downsizing from a 200 series Landcruiser. I can't wait!

Just test drove a t-roc with optional package. Loved it. My deisel passat was stolen and written off, so I admit it doesn't have the grunt i loved. But life presents a new time and this car with options package is pretty damn cool!

Review the Skoda Karoq Sportline! It’s much better value for money and is nicer to drive.

Really helpful information. Picked up 2021 model a few days ago, can’t find CD player or SD slots, my dealer couldn’t assist. Can’t see any info on media screen or CD player in the glove box as illustrated above so I guess they forgot to mention they have been made redundant. Great listening to the radio and iPhone on my upgraded Beats system.

More info on how effective the AWD is for different conditions, and would like a comparison with other AWD systems. Oz may not get snow, but there's dirt, loose gravel, etc.
