“The Volkswagen T-Roc Golf-based SUV is fun to drive, great to look at and family friendly – but cabin quality is most un-VW-like.”

“Some of the dashboard materials are iffy and you’ll have to be seriously careful with the options list to get the best value for money. Plus, it’s not what you’d call exciting to drive. But how many crossover buyers really care about that last point?”

“If you love the SUV styling and want a drop-top with a raised ride height, it’s this or a four-year-old Range Rover Evoque Convertible, which is worth noting is just about the same price. With decent-sized rear seats and a usable boot, you could happily use the T-Roc every day.”

“It may not result in a dramatic conclusion, but there is actually very little about the Volkswagen T-Roc to fault. The 1.0 TSI petrol model on test felt light and agile, it offered decent performance and economy, it was refined and quiet, and it was a practical body style.”

“The Volkswagen T-Roc is like a Golf that’s grown in every direction. It looks more distinctive, too. It starts to look expensive once you’ve progressed through the range, and its engines are surprisingly vocal for a Volkswagen. Not that any of these grumbles will stop it from selling like hot (rock) cakes.”

“If you want a diesel family crossover this Volkswagen T-Roc is one of the more desirable options. However, there’s still no escaping that it has a high price and a small boot compared with its petrol-powered counterparts.”

“The Volkswagen T-Roc stands out in the crowded SUV market thanks to its funky styling and fun driving experience. It’s not as spacious as a Seat Ateca, and the quality of some of the interior plastics might not be as plush as you’d expect, but neither of those points are deal-breakers for what is a very good SUV indeed.”

“Stick to the cheaper trims and engines and the T-Roc is a fine buy. Its soft ride and practical boot will appeal to families, while its high-set driving position is just what SUV buyers crave, and something that many other small SUVs fail to deliver.”

“The Volkswagen T-Roc is an accomplished SUV that is easy to recommend. It has lots of standard safety equipment, drives well and has lots of space in the front. However, despite improvements, its interior still feels cheap and fuel consumption is still high. Nevertheless, it maintains its position as a Best Buy family SUV.”
