Volkswagen T-Roc, the golf that got fat without complexes – SUV with coupe style

With the new T-Roc, Volkswagen unites opposing concepts and the result is truly consistent. Comfort and efficiency, emotion and rationality, versatility and lines that remind us of the purest urban style. All this coexists inside and outside the new Volkswagen T-Roc.

The T-Roc is not just another SUV. It is a car born to captivate the most heterogeneous public that, undoubtedly, to date has been able to convince the German brand.

And not only in aesthetics and capabilities: the benefits, both in terms of safety and communication and driving, make the T-Roc a truly complete car.

If we want to look for the source code of this model, I give you some clues : dynamism without losing a compact set, versatility with high-positioned seats and a handling very at the same level as the SUVs that will compete with it in an increasingly demanding and capable market. to find out which manufacturer offers the car that others will sell in the next decade.

I assure you that it is becoming more and more complex to place a new car within a segment, even within the different options offered by a brand. But this time, I try.

What do you think.

Inside Volkswagen, and by measures, it is in front of a golf: yes, with more compact dimensions. I have no doubt that those who recently acquired a golf will regret seeing this new model.

Customers who approached the T-Roc would have tried to play in the league of the Tiguan model in prices and dimensions that are not very comparable and that now they will be able to find their place in the brand.

The launch price and dimensions make it depart from the B-SUV Segment and that these days is so topical with the recent launches of different brands. Hyundai Konan and Seat Arona are just two examples of what has come and is to come.

For this, Volkswagen has prepared the T-Cross , a model that will arrive in Spain in 2018. The car we are talking about today we must face directly an Audi Q2, Toyota CH-R or similar.

This time we moved to Lisbon to have the first contact.

After a route of almost 2 hours of driving through the coastal surroundings of the capital, we ended up in Cascais. A spectacular setting totally at the height of the protagonist.

And from there, and without missing a beat, we flew to Italy. Palermo welcomes us and… sorry! That is another story that I will tell you shortly.
