Is It Worth Buying?
The VW brand has been known for making tough vehicle which can be sustained for a much longer period compared to others but and the same can be said for the T-Roc compact SUV as well. It is for a fact that the T-Roc is a CBU which automatically makes it more expensive compared to its rivals which not only offer a better price aspect but are also jam-packed with features which is where the T-Roc lacks. Not only that VW is only offering it in a single variant which can be considered as a bold move by the Germans.
Keeping in mind its power, comfort and convenience there are much better and cheaper options available in the market. What are your thought on the VW T-Roc let us know in the comment section.
