Volkswagen T-Roc 2022 review

2022/03/17

Fresh-faced and fancier inside

As a compact SUV, the Volkswagen T-Roc has no shortage of rivals, but the German firm has still managed to sell more than a million of them worldwide, so the car clearly has enough appeal to compete. Even so, the car has just been given a facelift for 2022, in order to make that appeal even stronger.

The exterior styling has been tweaked slightly, but the bigger upgrades have been reserved for the interior, with a redesigned dashboard, higher-quality materials and enhanced equipment levels. Buyers still choose between SUV and Cabriolet body styles, and they also choose between six engines, two diesels and four petrols, the petrol range topping out with the fire-breathing 300 horsepower T-Roc R.

In this CarGurus UK video review, Chris Knapman has a go in the new T-Roc to see what kind of a difference the enhancements have made.

Pros
Roomy boot on front-wheel-drive models
Comfortable ride
Engaging handling

Cons
Lacklustre interior quality on pre-facelift cars
Rear seats lack flexibility
Reduced boot space in 4Motion models

The CarGurus verdict

The Volkswagen T-Roc is one of the best small SUVs you can buy, whether you are looking at a brand new car or a used example. The cabin is roomy, the ride is comfortable and all trim levels are reasonably well equipped. The engines balance performance and economy, and the T-Roc is satisfying to drive.

We reckon the SE specification offers the best value for money. The high-spec models are tempting, but considerably more expensive considering that SE comes with everything you really need.

The biggest disappointment is the interior finish in pre-facelift cars. Like the smaller T-Cross, a used T-Roc can be disappointingly cheap-looking inside, with unappealing hard plastics. If you want even more interior space and practicality, a Skoda Karoq offers more room for passengers and luggage for a similar price. And if you can manage with a little less space, the Ford Puma is more rewarding to drive. As an all-rounder, though, the T-Roc is close to the top of the small SUV class.
