Is T-Roc worth buying?
Yes, it is a good car. Our expert reviewers have given the T-Roc a score of 7/10. The Volkswagen has a big boot and drives well, but it’s uncomfortable over bumps and some alternatives are more affordable. While the Audi is the quintessential German SUV, with a huge grille and plenty of sharp edges, the T-Roc is just as impressive. The VW brings similarly sharp styling, chunky grilles and intimidating stature, but it definitely feels more family focused. We think the Audi is sportier and the T-Roc more laidback.But the T-Roc R is a genuinely fun, polished, fast SUV that has you cracking plenty of smiles in the corners. You don’t really miss the hatchbacks while you’re driving it because you’re having such a good time. Makes you wonder why its rivals aren’t trying in this space.Volkswagen T-Roc The Volkswagen T-Roc is rare in that you can still buy one with all four wheels driven, which while it doesn’t make this family car a mud-plugging off-roader should mean it stands rather more of a chance in the snow than a regular SUV.
Which car is better, T-Roc or T-Cross?
The T-Cross is better value but the T-Roc counters by being more practical in real life. If you’re regularly taking adult passengers, the T-Roc is going to be the better bet – although the T-Cross can still accommodate adults if you’d rather get a newer car for the same money.

The T-Roc has a large centre cubby, space under the front armrest, wide door pockets and a big glovebox. You even get a drawer under the driver’s seat on all trim levels.The T-Roc is slightly easier to park than the Tiguan, and slightly cheaper – although neither of these cars are among the most affordable SUVs. It still features much of the same technology and equipment, and still has plenty of space for most buyers’ needs.The T-Roc is slightly easier to park than the Tiguan, and slightly cheaper – although neither of these cars are among the most affordable SUVs.
