SUV or a Golf on stilts? This is the all-new second-generation Volkswagen T-Roc and I can assure you it’s more than just a lifted hatchback. Welcome to the test and drive.
The new T-Roc has grown by over 12 cm (4.8 inches), dropped the manual gearbox in favor of the standard DSG, and for the first time, offers exclusively electrified powertrains. I’m checking if the improved interior with the MIB4 system, physical buttons on the steering wheel, and optional Head-up display will make you forget about its predecessor, which sold over 2 million units.
In this video:
Design & Dimensions: How the extra length (437 cm / 172 in) affects proportions and space.
Interior: Has the material quality finally caught up with the price, and how does the new 12.9-inch screen work?
Drivetrain: How the 1.5 eTSI mild-hybrid (116 hp or 150 hp) performs on the road.
Practicality: Is the 475-liter boot and the longer wheelbase enough for a family car?
Technology: What’s the new "Driving Experience Control" knob, and has the software improved?
