The hint of sunshine and warm weather we have been teased with in between showers across the Limestone Coast has been warm, but the T-Roc models currently on display at Barry Maney Volkswagen are straight-up sizzling.
VW’s top-quality vehicles are always a pleasure to take for a tour around the region and the stylish and sporty T-Roc is no different!
The T-Roc incorporates an outstanding array of features as factory standard in it’s entry level CityLife trim, but for those wanting a bit more there are a host of optional packages on top of the Style and R-Line models.
Popping down to the Crouch Street dealership landed us in the seat of the of the stylish little Volkswagen to see just how the small SUV handled the big “City Life”.
On the oustide you have five colour choices including Ascot Grey, Pure White (as pictured), Indium Grey and Petroleum Blue metallics as well as Deep Black Pearl, with each variant showing off the stylish bodywork enhanced with the addition of silver highlights and black guard and skirt trim, while ‘Johannesburg’ style 17-inch wheels are tucked neatly under the guards.
Electrically adjustable foldable and heated side mirrors are also a pleasant addition to the exterior, with the rear VW badging at the rear also doubling as a hidden lever for accessing the rear cargo area.
Hopping inside you instantly get a sense the T-Roc is packed full of features and tech in a high-quality finish, with the trimmed dashboard pairing nicely with the Black-Ceramique cloth seat upholstery.
The little VW is equipped with the manufacturers Digital Cockpit straight off the showroom floor, giving owners access to a suite of vehicle and engine vitals and screen views to ensure every ounce of information you need to know whether tackling the open road or living the City Life is clearly displayed in front of your eyes.
Volkswagen’s digital display looks incredible and pairs brilliantly alongside the 8-inch Composition Media infotainment system with App-Connect for compatible Apple and Android devices, while four USB-C ports and a wireless charging pad ensure all vehicle occupant’s devices are charged up for the long journeys.
In the way of driver assistance and safety Volkswagen also has you covered, with travel assist incorporating adaptive cruise control and lane assist, while park assist and parking bay and parallel parking assistance are also handy additions.
Whether you are cruising the city streets or hitting the open road, the punch little 1.4-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine has plenty of poke to get you where you need to be.
With 110kW of power and 250Nm of torque it will not be breaking any land-speed records, but what it will deliver is a smooth and precise drive with plenty of overtaking grunt for the open road while delivering a fantastic combined fuel consumption of 6.3-litres for every hundred kilometres travelled.
You do not need to be a mathematician to work out that equates to great range from the T-Roc’s 55-litre fuel tank when filling up a the bowser.
Overall the Volkswagen T-Roc performed flawlessly.
The ride quality was premium, the exterior and interior styling is executed perfectly, and the quietness of the engine and drive performance ensures you can cruise in style and comfort while chatting to passengers or listening to your favourite tunes with no outside noise interference.
