VW T-Roc R review - it's a Golf R in sheep's clothing!
Рет қаралды 1,091,317
Күн бұрынIntroducing the new Volkswagen T-Roc R! This little performance crossover is powered by the same 2-litre turbocharged petrol engine as you'd find in the Golf R, and as a result, it produces 300hp and 400Nm of torque! We all know what you're thinking though - it's yet another small SUV! But given how much we love the Golf R, is it right to be so dismissive? Join Mat and find out!

Yep. I used to have a GLA45 before, and it was basically a car where Mercedes went "well, Americans won't buy hatchbacks, so we'll take the A class, raise it a bit, call it an SUV = success". Then AMG took the car and went "you see this nonsense? We won't have any of that, thank you = the car gets lowered again for the AMG version".

'Raised' bodies make sense when you want to make a tall, minivan-like car, but more attractive than a typical minivan. Then raising it helps simply in terms of proportions, because larger ground clearance introduces some ,,air" to the side profile visually. For example compare Peugeot 5008 or BMW X5 to minivans of similar size. However raising does not make much sense when it comes to smaller and lower cars.

Haha, about time you did a review on this. I’ve been waiting for months in it. But couldn’t wait any longer and eventually took the plunge and bought mine in March. Got to say I agree fully with your review. I knew the car was quicker to 60 than 4.8 but never thought it’d be loitering around the 4 seconds! Gotta say though that with my seat set comfortably (I’m 6’2) there ain’t a lot of room behind me, but I’m alright Jack. I love the car and would recommend at least a test drive. Keep up the great work.

It's so funny to see a nearly identical motor under the hood of a 10 year old GTI. There's a myriad of small changes over the decade like reduced friction, higher psi fuel pumps, strengthened crank and different turbos but It just goes to show how good the EA888 engine really was from the start. It's smooth, refined and powerful in all states of tune (170-310 hp). Like all motors it isn't perfect and has its "issues", but by and large it's a gem. It's almost impossible to not average 28 mpg or better even when driving aggressively in a GTI. 30-32 mpg is usually my baseline in mixed driving (even with an APR tune) and I drive pretty aggressively with a few full throttle pulls because, why not. It's fun and it's what the motor was designed for.

Why buy something with doesn't handle as well as the normal equivalent hatch/saloon, is no bigger inside, is no faster (probably slower due to worse aerodynamics), is less efficient and heavier, and costs more. I honestly don't understand. 'Because I like to sit higher up' is the usual answer meh .....
