This is the T-Roc R, which like the rest of Volkswagen's T-Roc lineup, including the standard model and now a Cabriolet, has been treated to a new fresher look with a range of snazzy upgrades.
Theres a redesigned grille, but the car still has the same looking front and rear bumpers, as well as the four tailpipes, which are a signature of R models and theres now a new, larger R badge that sits just beneath the VW logo in the middle. Inside, the sports seats are finished in a semi leather upholstery with tartan material centres highlighted with blue trimmings, a full leather option is also available as an upgrade. Theres a nice shaped leather multifunction steering wheel and the dashboard has been rearranged to accommodate a new, larger infotainment system. Some new kit, like keyless entry, comes as standard now, too.
Whilst the quality overall is now closer to the standard you’d expect from a top-spec performance crossover, the new touch-sensitive controls on the steering wheel and climate panel are really annoying.
In the boot you get 392 litres instead of the 445 litres you get in other T-Roc models. It’s still a decent size, though. Under the bonnet, the T-Roc keeps the same 296bhp petrol turbo unit it had before, with 0-60mph in around 4.7 seconds, and it’ll keep going until it hits the electronic speed limiter at 155mph. The seven-speed DSG gearbox is silky smooth and the optional adaptive dampers really add another level of driveability to the T-Roc R’s ride and handling.

If you’re looking for a high-performance SUV crossed with a hot hatch family car, the T-Roc R is a likeable choice that won’t leave you disappointed. It offers bags of performance, handling and features and is a genuinely great alternative to more traditional options. It’s a good small family car, with a decent boot size and reasonable room for a young family and will surprise you with its excellent body control and performance. There is only one trim level which starts from £43,000 but there are many add ons and extras including some great paint choices.
