Is T-Roc worth buying?
Is the Volkswagen T-Roc a good car? 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. In addition, Euro NCAP awarded the regular VW T-Roc five stars out of five for safety. An in-depth look at the results shows that it was found to be better at protecting adult occupants, child occupants and pedestrians than the Audi SQ2 and Cupra Ateca.
Which is best, VW T-Roc or Audi Q2?
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. Actually, if you’re not clued up on cars you might not have realised that both are part of the wider VW Group, given how different an Audi feels and looks to an equivalent Volkswagen. Audi and VW both have their own styling and engineering teams, and Audi cars are generally a little more premium.
