Thomas, thank goodness we can still get real knobs and buttons on the base level T-Roc model for volume and aircon. It’s tragic that VW keeps ruining their cars with digital touchscreens that are so difficult to use, and dangerous, especially while driving. The digital aircon slider control is not even illuminated on the latest Golf 8 - which makes it impossible to use at night. Unbelievable! The sooner this touchscreen fad passes the better. VW, please bring back real buttons and knobs with a proper tactile feel.
Thomas, may I suggest you do a special video on the problems with touchscreens in cars, and how important buttons and knobs are. You may be the only one that companies like VW will listen to. Influential journalists like yourself could help reverse this silly - and dangerous - trend by car companies to remove physical controls for basic functions like volume and aircon.
My father in-law has a T-Roc and lent it to us for some long-distance driving in France. I have to say it's a brilliant car, and the driver assistance systems really do help reduce fatigue (amazingly so.) Still trying to convince the better half that we need the 300bhp "R" model, so thanks for the tip on the "comfy seats" Thomas :-)
Forensic review and great advice as usual from Tomas. I just hope that the lower spec model is available with the 1.5 engine in the UK as the trend is to add all the bells and whistles to decent power output which is flawed in my opinion and obviously comes at a price. At least VW has listened to criticism of cheap and nasty plastics. It was absurd for the Polo to have a better interior finish than the TRoc. I’m not a fan of stuck on iPads on the fascia preferring something more ergonomic but overall the refresh looks a significant improvement.
My partner is getting the T-roc R Awd here in NZ. Should be a great little car for her , sporty enough with the added traction for snow driving . Have to wait for July delivery though.
+slightly better exterior +soft touch upper dashboard -capacitive buttons & knobs -extended glossy black surfaces -infotaiment screen is laggy comparing it with the predecessor -the whole interior ergonomics-design is less for my taste -previous gear lever seem better designed and more expensive -no engine upgrades
With the really tall sides, i think it looks like a skip - especially if you could get it in yellow.....i'd be afraid to park it anywhere as i might come back and find a mattress been dumped in it.
I was looking to get a T-Roc earlier this year and was quite disappointed. No HEV option, small screen, very little in base option unless you pay extra for every little thing. Got a Kia in the end.
This is probably the first facelift (exterior wise, at least) as of recent VW facelifts that I like, I think the Polo looks much worse facelifted and too busy, this looks nicely smoothed out especially style trim. However I suspect this will still be way too expensive for what it is, the cabrio is over 40,000€ *without options* here! That's Merc C-Class territory!
Another excellent review, Thomas. Now that you have revealed your trade secret, I will be sure to check that the wheel caps are aligned in future videos! With this refresh, Volkswagen should have reacted to the negative feedback about touch sensitive buttons on the steering wheel and used something like the base model instead - far less distracting for the driver. VW, in common with other manufacturers, also has an obsession with black plastic which will degrade very quickly. And fake exhausts, come on! Maybe VW could offer a fake exhaust option pack for those who want it otherwise I am sure that there are better options to style the rear bumper. I have owned several VWs over the years and while fit and finish is always good it seems that the latest models are very much style over substance. Time for VW to employ some new interior designers.
I bought VW T-Roc Style this year and I am so happy with it. However, seeing this model - I am so stoked! I’ll be sticking with VW T-Roc for sure or VW in general. Thanks for a great review! ❤️
Did you just referenced How I met your mother, when talking about the infotainment system coming as a general option on the R-Line model? In a car review video?
@@autogefuehl That's a shame. I know that you always do honest and in depth reviews. Thankfully I have lots of other car reviews on the channel while we wait :)
The best thing was the song you played on the radio. Roman Messer feat. Eric Lumiere - closer. Love that song 😬 Good review though. Vielen Dank dafür :-)
Looks really nice now, the front almost looks as good as the back, the pre-facelift kinda had a Suzuki vibe with its front end Also nice to see that VW is upgrading the interior quality of a car for once lol Still would’ve preferred if they went a step further and upgraded the door material too
Hey Tomas, why are glowing car logos illegal and are there talks to make them legal? I'd imagine VW wants to make their logo glow together with the lights in the near future.
Hello and thank you for the great review. I would like to ask you a question. The infotainment system in the Style model you reviewed is the “infotainment ready 2 discover” which comes with the car’s standard equipment, not one of the extra “Discover media” or “Discover pro” system, right?
Volkswagen just offering new front and rear lights, small changes and bad interior "improvements" is sad to see. I hoped they'd add the 1.4 TSI Plug-in hybrid but no. Excellent review btw Thomas. It was a joy to watch.
Not sure about front end it’s alittle ugly,Not keen on the tablet sticking up look nor the fact it hasn’t got knobs for temp controls.i prefer the one I got now
@@autogefuehl yep, so i use waze maps (android auto) on the infotainment screen and on driver display use VW maps, I prefer Waze over VW maps so it works out for me😬
I have the previous T-Roc R line and unfortunately I have the seats. They are to hard on the long journeys. I already ordered from Amazon soft covers and added them on the seats, which its a pity considering that my T-roc costs EUR 41,000.00 Now I will see to change my car with T-roc style in case the sets may be more comfortable. Thomas, do you know if we can have panoramic roof on the T-Roc style ? Thanks a lot for your outstanding review, as always, its highly appreciated!
I'm not going to buy the style just because you think the buttons on the steering wheel are a little annoying. That's not a deal breaker. The r line looks better and there are more options to custom the car.
It’s still a fun Golf to me. It’s a nice interior, but looks more like a SEAT or Skoda to me. Maybe this is what you get in the VW Group when you have to better than the old car, which was really cheap, but still have to be less nice than a Golf. Overall, nice car, but it’s not my favourite, I’d go for a Toyota C-HR, Renault Arkana or Citroen C4
I mean Skoda upped the game recently to that point that VW lis loosing sales to them worldwide. Nothing wrong with Skoda and Seat they all using the same parts and processes anyway.
I love that steering wheel with Haptic, my 2019 Arteon had the physical buttons. I ordered the 2021 haptic wheel and it’s works great! By the way Thomas keep up the great work!
interior is not convenient with touch buttons everywhere..Much prefer the old version. These front light line remove the sport feeling of it too.. Better put the 19 each wheel into the old one and that's perfect
The most comprehensive car tester/reviewer probably of all time, a true gentleman and very smart dresser indeed, a legend I would say and a proper bloke but......................................I truly feel sorry for him in the same way that I feel sorry for myself and other humans around the planet and there interest in cars. MMMmmm, every car is now the same, nothing new just bits and bobs changed, all are quick, all have daft flashing lights that say hello as you unlock them, how sad it has become, all handle well, all are quiet, all are over tired, all are to stiff, they all have the same drab seats, dull grey interiors or pure white impractical seats and fabrics that will get dirty, poor quality carpets, no exciting engine noise, dodgy electrics, options no one needs at extortionate prices. Gone are the days of a luxurious soft cushioned ride on soft cushioned seats to waft along in with ample horsepower that is just enough to be swift with maybe a sports version to enjoy for the sportier person. Gone are the days of a light little basic hot hatch 3 door, maybe a little raw around the edges with no frills, maybe a basic estate car that will have 100% flat folding seats for caravanning and weekends away with a wife or girlfriend, it's all gone, humans have changed for the worse. I've spent since 1978 in the motor industry and now it has become mundane and boring, nothing new, all the same boring, really boring cars that really make no sense at all. God they are boring. I'm done with cars now, finished. I'll keep my 3 door Clubsport Golf, my as new 1992 SAAB 900 3 door Turbo(with a flat floor) and my littile Yeti until they all drop to bits, I'll be dead by then. Thanks for the entertainment over the years 'Autogefuhl', you've been utterly brilliant.

Tesla doesn't have any buttons but has one of the best infotainment systems...
R-line is beautiful inside & out with its features....I like it 😍🥳🥳🥳
This channel is easily your go-to for all car reviews in TH-cam. Super super thorough as always, nice one Thomas!
🤘🙏
Agreed!
You must be the most objective/honest German around the world. Congratulations.
4:52 real buttons wooohooo 👍👏
Thomas’s pleasure to spot fake exhausts will never cease to amaze me. :)

Everytime so fun to hear fake exhaust police's verdict 😊

Does it has ventilated seats?
@@karthikreddy8567 no. Ventilated seats are bad for your back.
@@dragospahontu why/how?
@@kadam_official it can cause long term chronic back pain. Please avoid at all cost.
LOVE THIS GERMAN GUYS REVIEWS AS HE'S SO THOROUGH HE COVERS EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW. Presently have a 2016 Golf but love this T Roc.

Great review, thank you. You speak so beautifully, a pleasure to listen to you 😀
☺️
Excelent!! New facelift model 2021 with old engines without MHEV , well done VW you are always a surprise
The front looks way better now. Still looks a bit out of proportion but I’m sure this will sell better than the previous model.
Forensic review and great advice as usual from Tomas. I just hope that the lower spec model is available with the 1.5 engine in the UK as the trend is to add all the bells and whistles to decent power output which is flawed in my opinion and obviously comes at a price. At least VW has listened to criticism of cheap and nasty plastics. It was absurd for the Polo to have a better interior finish than the TRoc. I’m not a fan of stuck on iPads on the fascia preferring something more ergonomic but overall the refresh looks a significant improvement.
It is available in 1.5
You are so right about physical buttons
I don’t like the new front. I much prefer the old one. Maybe I’m biased as I own one in R-line trim! I also prefer the 19” Suzukas on mine.
Thank you for all fabolous VAG cars reviews👍
My partner is getting the T-roc R Awd here in NZ.
Should be a great little car for her , sporty enough with the added traction for snow driving .
Have to wait for July delivery though.
Enjoy 😊
You're damn right there Thomas that those haptic capacitive steering wheel buttons are the 'BS' variety
nobody likes them, really nobody
Fantastic review❤️
Thanks 🙏
+slightly better exterior
+soft touch upper dashboard
-capacitive buttons & knobs
-extended glossy black surfaces
-infotaiment screen is laggy comparing it with the predecessor
-the whole interior ergonomics-design is less for my taste
-previous gear lever seem better designed and more expensive
-no engine upgrades
great review as always
Thanks 🙏
The T Roc convertible is a surprise success to me, I think it looks great, such a fun car.
With the really tall sides, i think it looks like a skip - especially if you could get it in yellow.....i'd be afraid to park it anywhere as i might come back and find a mattress been dumped in it.
@@blower1 it’s lovely considering there’s no Golf, or Beetle cabrio anymore
Much prefer the Eos love mine

I like Thomas blue.please do review Hyundai Staria thanks
This is what the U.S. market should have got to replace the standard Golf, instead of the Taos.
In Europe, this has been denting Golf's market share quite heavily.
@@gvaley golf is better
Shitty cars World dont need
R라인 디자인이 너무 멋있네요
한국에 들어온다면 당장 사고 싶네요
First from Spain!!
I enjoy all your reviews…..in your opinion…do I stay with new T ROC R LINE ..or upgrade to x3 , or Macan?
Why is the dashboard soft where no one touches and doors hard where you might put your albow
I agree, however you will not put your elbow on the very top part of the door
Finally, it is coming with electronic parking brake, and auto hold!
Thanks Thomas. It is really nice.
i love your reviews!! Do you know if it is finally possible to have a 360 camera system like on the tiguan model??
Thanks 🙏
Mhh not sure
Nobody can escape the fake exhaust police
Maybe I'm going to buy that Style version in the Petroleum Blue color like in the video. Nice color!
And I finally bought it in January this year. If everything goes according to plan, it will be delivered somewhere in July/August.
Waiting for mine to arrive in white

Just needs to pop some dynamic logos on for the reviews

Great job on this one😊

i am gonna buy it, waiting for it
This man is interesting, a German with humorous sense 😉
✌️😎
I enjpyed watching the Video. I also recomend the Style Trim for buyers In the UK
Nice review as always Thomas! Will you drive the Kia EV6?
Still fighting to get a vehicle. Kia doenst want to supply me a car in Germany, because I speak English. Welcome to 2021...

Good review though. Vielen Dank dafür :-)
👌😊
It looked to me like a Mercedes at first sight... and the rear lools like a Q2... Nice Golf!!
Looks really nice now, the front almost looks as good as the back, the pre-facelift kinda had a Suzuki vibe with its front end
Also nice to see that VW is upgrading the interior quality of a car for once lol
Still would’ve preferred if they went a step further and upgraded the door material too
Finally some better materials in the interior.
Sehr schön erklärt vielen Dank dafür!
Gerne ☺️
I'll be getting one 2020 model R-Line or SEL but this new trim looks very nice. However high gloss is a pain in the backside. and the touch controls
Hey Tomas, why are glowing car logos illegal and are there talks to make them legal? I'd imagine VW wants to make their logo glow together with the lights in the near future.
Hello and thank you for the great review. I would like to ask you a question. The infotainment system in the Style model you reviewed is the “infotainment ready 2 discover” which comes with the car’s standard equipment, not one of the extra “Discover media” or “Discover pro” system, right?
I think so. It’s also varies from market to market, but your description should be correct
Nice reveiw - The pop up screen is trerible, the sliders in the heating, tryed in golf 8 terrible
Volkswagen just offering new front and rear lights, small changes and bad interior "improvements" is sad to see.
I hoped they'd add the 1.4 TSI Plug-in hybrid but no.
Excellent review btw Thomas. It was a joy to watch.
Not sure about front end it’s alittle ugly,Not keen on the tablet sticking up look nor the fact it hasn’t got knobs for temp controls.i prefer the one I got now
Nice...T-Cross also. My first car in VW Beetle...
also very elegant this T ROC !
I am honestly sad I have already bought a car. This seems really good.
Just some advice on the 8” screen if you use android auto you can display a map on both screens😮
U mean car internal left and android auto right?
@@autogefuehl yep, so i use waze maps (android auto) on the infotainment screen and on driver display use VW maps, I prefer Waze over VW maps so it works out for me😬
Great video! The R Line, does iy have power seats?
I wish that you would have shown the t-roc R exhaust design.
I have the R-line version of the previous model, looks much better than this in my opinion.
6:00 "super super dark interior" when we take wich option/version? I didn't understood this ...
Have VAG sorted out the kangarooing problem with the 1.5tsi engine?
Whats everyone thoughts of using the T roc as a driving instructor vehicle?
The first car.
I have the previous T-Roc R line and unfortunately I have the seats. They are to hard on the long journeys. I already ordered from Amazon soft covers and added them on the seats, which its a pity considering that my T-roc costs EUR 41,000.00
Now I will see to change my car with T-roc style in case the sets may be more comfortable.
Thomas, do you know if we can have panoramic roof on the T-Roc style ?
Thanks a lot for your outstanding review, as always, its highly appreciated!
thanks so much for tuning in ! Panoramic roof should be possible on all trims afaik
I'm not going to buy the style just because you think the buttons on the steering wheel are a little annoying. That's not a deal breaker. The r line looks better and there are more options to custom the car.
Looks wierd with the ligth bar between the headlights. I whish VW could drop that in their design laguage.
Muhtaşem çok iyi 👍 👍👍👏👏

I mean Skoda upped the game recently to that point that VW lis loosing sales to them worldwide. Nothing wrong with Skoda and Seat they all using the same parts and processes anyway.
@@rustypipe they usually have quite distinct designs though. I’d still go for a VW or SEAT
The only questions from me is:
Did they fix the infotainment?
Did they get rid of the touch sensitive buttons for real ones?
The only question from me is:
Did you see the video before posting your comment?
How sad that new infotainment and controls introduced by VW just makes you want to avoid the high trims. They are just soo damn uncomfortable to use.
I love that steering wheel with Haptic, my 2019 Arteon had the physical buttons. I ordered the 2021 haptic wheel and it’s works great! By the way Thomas keep up the great work!
way to go!
What happened with the new Polo gti and takes too long the presentation??🤔
Before facelift it was good design, now design is similar with ID series, hmmm still so good....
I can’t keep up these mid cycle updates; didn’t the TRoc come out like a year ago?.
It's been out for a very long time in Europe. Depends where you live as to how long it's been around.
interior is not convenient with touch buttons everywhere..Much prefer the old version.
These front light line remove the sport feeling of it too..
Better put the 19 each wheel into the old one and that's perfect
I love your accent.
Like the look
Looks awesome to me.
Real beauty
What’s the brand of your glasses?
Did you know something about skoda rapid?
What a big change😁😁😁😁😁
Hey there, beautiful new T-Roc! Isn't the part "R-line in Ascot Grey" the Pure White version though?
They told me it would be Ascot grey… but… hmm
Pure White would appear “whiter” i guess
The video probably makes it seem a bit whiter 😁

Gone are the days of a luxurious soft cushioned ride on soft cushioned seats to waft along in with ample horsepower that is just enough to be swift with maybe a sports version to enjoy for the sportier person.
Gone are the days of a light little basic hot hatch 3 door, maybe a little raw around the edges with no frills, maybe a basic estate car that will have 100% flat folding seats for caravanning and weekends away with a wife or girlfriend, it's all gone, humans have changed for the worse.

It convertible version get AWD?
Ventilated seats ?
The front kinda looks like the EQC.
Hmm, that interior reminds me of India’s Skoda Kushaq
interior looks like from prevoius age.
Nice Car
Both R-line and R looks great, but i dont like all gloss black touch controls (steering wheel, screens and HVAC) in both... no buy.
What's new?
