Despite being in a packed category, the Volkswagen T-Roc holds its own in terms of style. It has the traditional lines you expect from VW but with a few little extras and a lot of black gloss detailing. The 2022 face lift has added an LED light strip to the front grille for a little extra wow at night, and the lights and bumper have a slightly fresher look.
The 19-inch alloy wheels are a stand out feature for the side view and the black gloss roof is a nice distinction from the base model. From the back, I think it looks a bit funkier than the T-Cross with its wide and slightly aggressive-looking tailgate, accentuated by its red lights and gloss black alloys.
Inside the T-Roc 140TSI R-Line still feels like a Volkswagen, but an upmarket and sporty looking one, thanks to the continuation of the gloss black detailing and the addition of chrome accents on the steering wheel and buttons. The whole vibe is very plush despite the fact the R-Line sits in the middle of the updated range.
The optional leather-appointed seats are super comfortable, so is the driver’s positioning in general, and overall the whole interior generally looks nice and modern, which you would expect for the price tag. Compared to some other Volkswagens, everything feels pretty luxe and you’ve got the main features you need for a stylish and comfortable family drive.
