The model
Read full Volkswagen T-Roc reviewIf you avoid the pricier trims and engines, the T-Roc is a fine buy. Not only is it refined and spacious, but it's also one of the most comfortable cars in the class.
The trim
See full equipmentEntry-level Life trim is our pick of the bunch, because it keeps costs down while also coming with plenty of standard equipment. That includes 16in alloy wheels, automatic LED headlights, automatic front windscreen wipers, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, two-zone climate control, adaptive cruise control, adjustable lumbar support, an 8.0in digital driver display and a 6.25in touchscreen infotainment system with Bluetooth, DAB radio and Apple CarPlay/Android Auto smartphone mirroring.
The engine
See full engine specsIf the entry-level diesel’s 113bhp isn’t quite enough for you, this upgraded version comes with 148bhp and is even keener from low speeds. Official figures say that it’ll sprint from 0-62mph in 8.8sec and the additional torque means you’ll be able to tow things even easier. You can choose to have this engine with either a manual or DSG automatic gearbox, but opting for the auto box reduces the official mpg to 58mpg.
