The turbocharged 2.0-litre engine in the T-Roc R gets it from 0-62mph in just 4.8sec. And, because maximum pull is available from 2000rpm all the way through to 5200rpm, its seven-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox doesn’t even have to shift up or down that often for you to make rapid progress.

Hatchback

<p dir="ltr">The VW Group famously spends more money on research and development than any rival – and as a result, perhaps it should be no surprise that our testers rate its cars so consistently highly.</p>

<p dir="ltr">The fact that many of those cars use the same underpinnings also helps, because it means that if they get it right once, they have the foundations to keep on getting it right.</p>

<p dir="ltr">However, the Volkswagen brand faces plenty of tough competition, often from within, because the rapidly rising Seat and Skoda brands that are also part of the group have access to the same technology.</p>

If 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.
