Why you compare T-Roc with Ateca and Karoq? T-Roc is in the same category as Seat Arona. :-)
Jakub Brežina h
If you look at the platform, it is like this:
MQB A0 - VW T-Cross, Seat Arona, Skoda Polar
MQB A1 - VW T-Roc, Seat Ateca, Skoda Karoq
MQB A2 - VW Tiguan, Seat (name tbc), Skoda Kodiaq
Autogefühl having so called unified platform is dissadvantage in my opinion. All cars look the same. Interior is almost identical: golf, passat, artheon, now t-rock etc. It is so boring. I have passat B8 and I tought it had its own style but it looks like all other VWs.
Thinking from the perspective of Autogefühl’s comments on platforms above. It really does not make financial sense to create separate platforms for each and every vehicle. Perhaps considering things from a brand perspective will help. Lots of manufactured products are made on so-called platforms e.g., all Apple products look familiar. If you like a brand’s aesthetics, then you choose it and start considering what your practical requirements are. I am, like yourself, a VW Passat (B8) owner and really enjoy my car, interior included. It is a VW and it suits my practical needs. If you do not like the VW aesthetic any more, then you could consider choosing a new car from within the VW group. The group provides a solid line up: SEAT, Audi, Porsche or another even more expensive brand. The car you choose might be, as a for instance, the Audi Q3, which is on the same platform as the VW Tiguan. All Audi's look similar, unless you consider the versions, but even then the so-called DNA is there throughout the brand and between generations. If you want a different platform and design, then you leave and move to completely new pastures i.e., Ford, Honda, Toyota, Mercedes Benz and so forth. There is plenty of choice.
It's more a Polo-SUV as a Golf-SUV. For example, the door-panels are the same as in the Polo - one part cheap hard plastic and a tiny part of cloth for the arm-rest. If it is a Golf-SUV the door-panel would have soft touch at the upper end and much more cloth in it, but the door-panels in an Audi Q2 are cheap too. Another example is the cheap version of the hood fastener.
In case I made a mistake with the engines, here again the complete list :-)
Benziner/Petrol
1.0 TSI
115 PS
1.5 TSI
150 PS
2.0 TSI
190 PS
Diesel
2.0 TDI
115 PS
2.0 TDI
150 PS
2.0 TDI
190 PS
Autogefühl I think you mean 1.5 TSI 150ps rather than 2.0 150ps
+JB argh gotta correct it
Autogefühl isn't it 1.6 TDI with 115 PS?
Thomas, you mentioned that middle engines (I am mostly concerned with 1.5 TSI Evo) will be available with 4Motion, but it contradicts what VW has unveiled so far on all EU markets. Are you able to confirm with VW if 1.5TSI will at some point be available with 4 wheel drive?
Is a rear-view camera system available as an option? Doesn’t see it on German VW options list or mentioned on German VW website.
of course
Maravilhoso , será que vem pro Brasil?
Love this LED daytime running lights. Good looking elements
It seems this car will compete with the Honda HRV and Subraru Crosstrek. If so, it should do well. The cars coming from the land of the rising sun are starting to look like spaceships from Manga comics (most notably the CRV and Lexus). Persuaded the girlfriend into buying a 2018 Tiguan (All Space in Europe) and she's glad she did. I appreciate the understatement of VW. In the long term, this design will grow on you and it'll stand up against the test of time. Less is more yo'.
LOVE IT thank you vw , and autogefuhl MARCO
grazie!
Sadly as it is right now, I wouldnt buy it, id rather pay some more money for something with better quality materials and a better system, also the lack of hybrid or electric option is really a big fail on vw part.
All new cars look somehow similar lately. Maybe I am wrong. I don't know.
I agree with Thomas, I think it will be a great sales success. It looks really good, a lot better than the Audi Q2, which I find really boring! I can see a lot of people upgrading their Golf to a T-Roc, and higher spec ones stealing sales from the Q2!
Its funny how easy is for VW to get 1000+ eur extra from customers just through an led&led drl option. Any car without it looks 10years older.
Really love your videos, my favourite channel i follow.
great to have u with us!
Thank you. Excellent video analysis of a very PERFECT vehicle. My only opinion is regarding the knob for adjusting the back of the seat. Personally I love that about Volkswagens and any other manufacturer that uses it. I absolutely hate having four or five positions for the seat backs, and the knob gives you infinite adjustability. Well done!
always appreciated
it's a nice car, beautifull interior, it appears to me a little resemblence to the audi Q3 on the exterior, overall such a remarcable job, Thomas you'v nailed it as always, wish you the best Autogefuehl
+Kadri Fouaz 👍
Better looking than the Q2
Another great preview, thank you. I really like the look of this car. For me, the exterior is slightly better looking than my Peugeot 3008, but the interior doesn't come close. It is also just a bit too small for my needs. Other than that, I think it's a very attractive purchase. Thomas, you mentioned no hybrid, electric or CNG version which prompts me to ask: are there hidden environmental costs to electric cars that are not talked about? I've often wondered about the impact of mining the raw materials for the batteries, then the transportation costs in terms of pollution as well as pollution caused by the manufacture of the batteries. What are your thoughts?
yes this is an aspect that needs careful consideration. Basically there is an environmental problem with almost every raw material. It's sadly our system of economy which is boosting reckless profit on the costs of exploiting people and the environment. The whole oil production is surely a bigger issue though. It will be the challenge of the future to make the economy sustainable
+Autogefuhl - good comment, Thomas
They are going to regret hard plastic!
Today i visited the local VW dealer in Canada and found out that the T-Roc will not be sold in North America. Furthermore, the Short wheel base Tigual is also not coming to Canada or the US. This means that VW will only have the LWB Tiguan and the Atlas available in their SUV lineup for Canadian. Personally, this means that I will not buy my next vehicle from VW. VW will never succeed in Canada like Toyota have selling appliance vehicles.
Karoq TRoc .... volkwagen should avoid skoda mimics and let skoda be skoda
Great to see the T-Roc review Thomas. Nice job! Looking forward to seeing the test drive. I too think that this car is going to be very successful. I like that they have preserved the main design elements of the original concept car. As manufacturing technology moves forward, more car makers appear enabled to do so. Looking at the car itself, the overall exterior and, particularly the light signatures, are very neat. The interior is very good looking as well, being still classically VW, but with a modern and personable design. Practically speaking, the car and it is boot size appear to be a good size.
thanks Richard !
Brilliantly informative overview of the T-Roc Thomas. Look forward to seeing UK prices and trim levels when available. Could be a potential purchase later in the year :-)
thanks andrew!
It doesn't even get the rimless mirror? Really more Polo than Golf.
Thomas you are the Bugatti' s of the vehicle reviwers
=)
Nice surprise this T-Roc ! Nice design with the last Arteon...VW on the right road ?
Car reviews seems awesome with that accent whoever does
I think the qashqai does not need to worry. This car is just not...VW enough. The design is too generic(hide the badge and you would be hard pressed to guess the brand), the materials are not up to par with other VW products and except for the active info display and the infotainment system it has no real weapons to fight against the Nissan crossover. Anyway, great review, Thomas! Thanks
thanks for watching!
Too much hard plastic, clear cost cutting by VW which detracts from their supposed quality over rival manufacturers.
I'm not really an SUV fan but I really like this. Excited to see the T-Cross as well.
Another flawless presentation by Thomas! The car promises to be great, not too sure about the color coded interior theme, interesting idea, but is it really working in terms of quality and visual comfort?
thanks man!
Not a huge fan of the rear plastic bumper. But other than that this is a really good looking VW !
Wowwww I love the blue colour version 😘 the interior design looks goooood as well.
Volkswagen has more and more cheaper interior with every new model. If you don't believe me. Spend some time at VW showroom. Try to sit in Golf VII (introduced in 2012 ) that car has almost same interior quality like passat. Then try sit into new Tiguan. And guess what ? Cheaper than Golf. Then think about prices of Tiguan and Golf.
it's going into wrong direction for Volkswagen,.
I have owned The new Tiguan and I found the interior to be really nice.
The exterior color built into elements of the interior is a feature i would like to see in other vehicles too, looks really nice. Thank you for another awesome review/video! :)
Why the fake exhaust, makes the car less aggressive
How many cm is the ground clearance?
want a 4wd compact suv with 3 doors + dsg with around 200hp +\-
Is it just me or did it look like a toy car at the beginning? Seriously, it looks really small.
It is pretty compact.
The design is great,modern & stylish at the same time,especially from behind,compare this to some boring VW-designs like Bora-sedan and similar cars
I disagree with the fact that the hard door panel and hard dashboard are cost saving measures.
If they were soft touch, why would you buy a Q2? For the badge? Not really.
Was ist das für eine Plastic Rostlaube weg damit in die Presse .
Amazing design...looks like a concept! Beautiful colour options as well..Really great new design language, with this, the new Arteon and the upcoming Touareg.
I just wonder how it looks with smaller wheels.
VW (like Honda) consistency misreads the American market - offering underpowered vehicles + saves best stuff for other markets -- T-ROC would be a GTI cute ute and sell a ton especially in 4Motion- not selling it and maintaining the old TIGUAN shows the Germans are not as accurate as their reputation! Selling the Long Wheelbase TIGUAN and NOT the short WB European version is another mistake- and not selling the Scirocco-- no wonder so many buy Mustangs and Camaros=POWER= fund to drive-- not everyone carves through Alpine roads or narrow European streets! EVEN a version of the T-ROC to compete with the KIA NIRO - would be another runaway best seller-- but VW is off base in marketing for USA as poast sales has proven -- hoping someone inVW management visits America for market research !
The problem is it would be too small and too expensive if not produced in the US and to do that the prospected sales numbers would simply be too small. That's business.
Explain that to Honda, Toyota, Nissan, KIA, etc, etc
It has the led daytime runninglights of the ford edge...
and it's grille. While at the rear it's the Peugeot 5008 kind of Chrome cross on the pillar.
23:46 When I see new great review from Thomas
there is no way in hell anyone *appreciates* the seat turning knob, no way!! you cant bullshit your way out of that one
So then it's actually lower then my golf alltrack? How does it compare Thomas?
the t roc despite being in a smaller segment even has more features and quality than the insanely priced evoque. even the interior size is similar
Love the way it looks!
Brilliantly informative overview of the T-Roc Thomas. Look forward to seeing UK prices and trim levels when available. Could be a potential purchase later in the year :-)
beautiful car!
beautiful review!
Panoramic sunroof should not be given, It Increases the price. In Asia and middleeast hot countries sunroof is no use. small alloys will keep cost less . Safety like acc and lane assist and led head and tail lamps should be standard. Manual tail gate is ok. Navigation with Android auto and apple car play should be standard. Analog display for driver info is ok to keep car cost low. Engine 1.5tsi with Awd. Or 2.0 tsi. Hope comes to middleeast to rival Mazda cx3, Mitsubishi ASX, Nissan juke, Renault captur, Nissan Kicks and Ford ecosport (new which will launch in few months).
This will sell for sure. I think it will be a VW classic and one of it's biggest successes.
Good-looking car but why have 2 cars that look alike, are exactly the same size and do exactly the same chores? The Q2 is enough to please someone looking for a practical yet trendy crossover vehicle!
As far as interior goes, colourful trim aside, the interior of the T-Roc is nothing special! The Q2 is much better!
Also, 2.0 liter petrol engine and 150hp? Where's the 1.5 TSI-Evo making that number? Somewhat wrong engine choice!
I've also noticed with the T-Roc that VW is becoming like GM! Same platforms, same parts, but only the bodywork details and interior details change among the Group VAG companies!
The interior reminds me of the mk3 GTI "driver's Edition". Probably won't come to the US until they end the Tiguan Limited production. (And take out all the options to get it below 22,000 USD)
The hard plastic on the Dashboard is a shame. Since the Golf 3 there is a soft touch
Dashboard. Even worse, the Ateca and the Karoq share a much better Interieur build quality.
I have waited months for this review (as always, well done Thomas, I even try to write in English
the first time for years), but a NEW VW which is obviously more cost sensitivly designed then
my Qashqai is definitly not for me...
But on the other hand it's making decisions easier for me: when my company leasing ends, it
will be a Skoda Karoq. Maybe Skoda is the better VW.
Jan-Hendrik Müller the karoq is also hard plastic and the Seat Ateca too these cars are not luxury vehicles so they can be a bit cheap if you want luxury go for Audi
f181234 AJ in the Ateca review and Thomas in the Karoq both said that it's soft. As for the Ateca I can definitely agree because I have tested it nearly one month ago.
In the lower part, all (even the premium ones) are made of hard plastics, but for me it's all about the top of the Dashboard.
Jan-Hendrik Müller still I doubt the average consumer will care if it's hard touch or not majority of people don't even touch it. For example if my parents were to buy a new car today they wouldn't care if it was hard plastic or soft they care more about the fuel efficiency
f181234 oh God, my English... but let me try: The feeling is in fact not what is important for me.
It is all about the rattling noises. I once had a Nissan Note with a Dashbord with Softtouch in front
and Hardplastic on top. The Softtouch was calm and quiet, the Hard part was rattling
ALL the time and, in winter times, it even starts to squeak. It took me one year to get rid of it, and
I told everybody : don't buy a car with hard plastics when there is a similar priced car which has
soft plastic... you know it's also that VW starts to get cheap in build quality, and when it is such an
obvious thing that everybody can see and feel, what about the parts in your car that you don't?
Are you sure, that they do not save up in those parts which are important let's say in safety or
rustproofing, where the customer just can NOT see or feel it?
Another example: the Renault Captur of my wife makes noises from it's hard plastic Dashboard
all the time, what has Renault done in the last Facelift (without any force)? Yes you name it: they
have soften it up and for Renault this is not cheaper then it would be for VW.
In a car such as the all new Seat Arona, the future Skoda Fabia SUV or a future Polo SUV (T Cross),
it would all be fine and o.k. because theses are cheaper cars which have to challenge with other
cheap cars, but the T Cross is (VW Statement) a Golf SUV and you really do not want to compare
a Golf VII "Update" as they call it with what we have seen in the T Cross videos from Thomas
and Brian... and nobody would ever know, if they charge 200 Euro more and made a better car!
The highest trim level is SEL in the UK. The VW website states that SEL trim has App-Connect as standard implying that this feature is supplied already enabled but yet the Optional Extra for this trim seems to require the purchase of an Activation Document to enable this feature to work. So what is the correct situation? Does anyone know?
Styling is a mixed bag with elements of Tiguan, Q2 and Vauxhall Grandland. I like the dashboard design, much more adventurous than the Q2. Steering wheel design and seat fabric are dated and ugly.
Seems internal competition with the Q2. Why o why do manufacturers make so many different models? It must make things more expensive since the more you can produce from 1 specific model you don't have to invest in new machines, material and production lines. The new Polo looks really nice so why not make a Polo cross like they used to?
The strong design language of the T-Roc reminds me of the original Tiguan's great promotional video (The promo' video with an orange Tiguan driving around the streets of a German city). I feel the new Tiguan looks a bit boring now, it's lost something. th-cam.com/video/w6qCiVyioW4/w-d-xo.html
Keeping the price low? Come on Thomas with some kit the prize will go up to at least 28-30 k so not really cheap and with that hardplastics everywhere maybe a good priceperformance for VW for the coustomer? naaa dont think so
i want to have this with 190hp and all wheel drive but 100% electric with 60kwh battery. vw always talk about some electric future car lines but i want to have this one in an electric version and not something that is electric and does not look like a car. the e-golf is nice but very expensive and does not have a 60kwh battery option.
i really like this design but my next car is for sure 100% electric. in this area vw is sleeping like all the other german car manufacturers.
Wow! For me, the T-Roc is better than the Audi Q2! Not the interior quality, but the style! Well done Volkswagen and thanks Autogefühl for the video! ;)
thanks Steven stay tuned! Brian's review of the world premiere is about to launch :)
But the front facia, the the downward headlamp which line down with the grille, much like Honda Fit/Jazz.
Was going to buy the Tiguan, until they sent the mini-van version to North America instead of the original European smaller version. I'll get the Ford Edge instead.
Thomas, On the 17 reg latest Tiguan they have changed the info-tainment screen to an all glass one and got rid of the knobs either side, which in turn makes the screen a bit larger.
Do you think the T-ROC will be changed to this when it hits the showrooms ?
Much better than the Q2
Audi and VW are holding hands whilst heading down the drain. I mean, they need to segregate these two segments. Now I don't feel like owning an Audi cos its just a posher version of a boring VW.
versatile car, this small Tiguan. I regret that they will not offer the particle filtre on the petrol engines from the start. Thanks Thomas for the exellent presentation, I am looking forward to your driving review.
yeah that does come a little late, I think so too
Another boring VW group car.... Technically tops, but not once drop of flair. BIG YAWN!
The back is so much more beautiful than the q2. But I do prefer the interieur of the Audi. Would also have preferred it to a bit higher. But looks really good.
But still, the volume knob logo doesn't stay upright when u turn it. Something they definately should fix. I hate it when it not always upright
It looks pretty clunky in my opinion.. The lines are not very smooth and it looks really bulky at the edges
Look at the rear for example, why is that big buldge under the taillights there
Do you think they'll stop producing the Polo Cross? I don't think it has been mentioned when the Polo was launched.
MADE IN PORTUGAL!!!!!!!
By VW Autoeuropa.
And this car would be awsome with rounded lights on the bumper like on the concept car. But they didn't...
My concern with all of that hard plastic inside is that in 5 years will it be creaking like and old wardrobe as you drive along 😕
ΝΟΜΛ probably right! 😬
I hope leather will be available
I got a 8 Year old Honda with not a single piece of soft-touch-Plastic inside and nothing creaks and nothing peels off ...
They should make a small hump between the hood and the window to honor the fiat multipla(together with this fucking ugly)
Good trunk size for the global lenth of the véhicle.
But The front has too much black plastic for me.
I like the car very much. Problem is hard plastics. If they save money on this they should allow to pay extra for either soft or leatherette covered dash.
you have inductive charging but you couldnt put a proper display to say OFF on the AC???
Is it me or does the whole interior looks a bit on the cheap side?
Rather big C pillar hampers visibility. And too much unnecessary chrome.
if u want a blue t rok u must have blue inside to..and i dont like that...i would love t rok withblue white colour but inside black...and i cant do that ....
Это конкурент Hyundai Creta (ix25)?
Is it the competitor of Hyundai Creta (ix25)?
Very Nice !!!
So, another Golf platform car. A big of new plastic on the front and back and we have a new car. Yawnnnnnnn
Nicer than the ugly Q2, but i'll never buy this. I prefer de new polo gti
the blue color on the interior trim seemed a bit different than the body color of the car, a little bit not as dark as the body paint.
i hope the new golf doesnt look like this, unless they can manage to make the gti even sicker than the facelift
Still used to with SUV being massive, so weird looking a shoulder tall SUV
If this is not coming to the US market as what they did to the Scirocco, then it sucks.
contrast roof, chrome, chrome, bodycolor part in the interior.. isn't it too much?
Der allererste VW der mich wirklich anspricht! Ich bin 28 und fahre aktuell den aktuellen C-Coupé von MB. Mein nächstes Auto muss allerdings größer und familientauglicher sein. Und der T-Roc ist wirklich eine gut gelungene Überraschung für mich! Top!
Hi! Das Problem bzgl. der Anzeige der Navikarte liegt wohl daran, das in dem vorgestelltem T-Roc das DiscoverMedia verbaut ist. Das DiscoverPro kann die Navikarte auf beiden Displays anzeigen. VG
Thanks for a very detailed preview, Thomas. The T-Roc is OK I suppose but, to my eyes, isn't especially inspired. Also I am still struggling with the way that VW treat their customers with total disdain. I'm much more looking forward to your preview of the Volvo XC40 in October. That looks much more interesting. Also the Tesla model 3. Thank you again Thomas.
Always appreciated!
So... the front doors panel inserts are coloured but the rear ones aren't?
Sad !
drissistg it's no Audi it's a cheaper car based on the polo
Definitely like a seat adjuster knob, because it is very precise!
Looks better than Audi Q2 I think. Clincher that will attract buyers is the color choices with the well designed/dash interior. I don't see any problem wiping off dirt/debris with the plastic flat top dash.
Fake exhaust.. again?, what the heck when all vehicles go electric or hydrogen it'll be the end of mufflers anyway.
Great video and review Thomas.
thanks pal!
Any idea if this suv will be sent to the dealers in the middle east region??
