Volkswagen T-Roc (2017-2025) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Roomy boot on front-wheel-drive models	Lacklustre interior quality on pre-facelift cars
Comfortable ride	Rear seats lack flexibility
Engaging handling	Reduced boot space in 4Motion models

Quick Summary

The Volkswagen T-Roc (2017-2025) is a stylish and dependable small SUV, positioned as a confident all-rounder in VW’s line-up. It offers good practicality with a 445-litre boot in front-wheel-drive models, which is usefully larger than a contemporary Golf's. The cabin is roomy for passengers, though the middle rear seat is best for short trips. While early models were criticised for their hard interior plastics, a significant 2022 facelift improved the cabin's quality with more soft-touch materials.

On the road, the T-Roc prioritises comfort, although models with larger wheels can feel firmer. It handles neatly, striking a good balance between comfort and agility. There's a wide engine choice, with the 1.5-litre TSI petrol being a recommended sweet spot between performance and economy. Diesel versions offer excellent fuel efficiency for high-mileage drivers, and the high-performance T-Roc R provides hot-hatch pace. Running costs are sensible across the range, but note that no hybrid or electric versions were offered.

Best for: Buyers looking for a stylish, comfortable, and practical small SUV that serves as a great all-rounder.

Not ideal for: Those prioritising a premium interior feel (on pre-2022 cars), maximum rear-seat flexibility, or a hybrid powertrain.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the T-Roc if: You want a stylish, comfortable, and practical small SUV that serves as a great all-rounder with a wide choice of engines.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise a premium interior feel (on pre-2022 cars), the most engaging drive, or need a hybrid powertrain.

Competitive Position: The Volkswagen T-Roc is a leading contender in the small SUV class, offering a compelling blend of style, comfort, and everyday usability. While its interior quality on earlier models falls short of some rivals and it lacks a hybrid option, its strong engine line-up, practical boot, and desirable badge appeal make it a well-rounded and sensible choice for many buyers.
