Some cabin quality qualms aside, the Volkswagen T-Roc cuts the mustard as a well-judged entry into the compact SUV market, with a combination of style and solid driving characteristics. Diesel models, and especially diesel models kitted out with all-wheel-drive, will probably turn out to be small sellers, however. This is mainly because the petrol options will be cheaper and better suited to the urban streets where the T-Roc will spend much of its life.
