WHY THIS IS VW'S BABY LAMBORGHINI URUS

EV Channels Review

The updated Volkswagen T-Roc receives a mixed but generally positive review, highlighted by its more youthful and sporty design, particularly in the R-Line trim, which the reviewer likens to a 'baby Lamborghini Urus'. Significant improvements are noted in the interior, with a more modern feel, a better infotainment screen (though sometimes laggy), and a more premium material quality compared to the outgoing model. The increased wheelbase and overall length translate to improved practicality and boot space. The new independent rear suspension is praised for offering a sophisticated and comfortable ride, especially with adaptive dampers, making it feel like a larger car. However, the reviewer points out that all climate controls are now screen-based, which can be annoying, and notes a slight hesitation in the automatic gearbox at lower speeds. Real-world fuel economy was slightly below Volkswagen's claims. Despite some minor cost-saving measures and a price increase, the T-Roc is recommended as a strong contender in its segment, particularly for those seeking a practical, stylish, and comfortable compact SUV.
