It\u2019s only been on sale here for two years, but the Volkswagen T-Roc has already received its midlife update. Is the base-model 110TSI Style all the small SUV you need?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
The Volkswagen T-Roc<\/a> \u2013 the SUV equivalent of the best-selling Golf hatchback \u2013 might be relatively new to Australian buyers, but it\u2019s already come in for an upgrade.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/div>\n While it\u2019s only been on sale in Australia since mid 2020, it has been in European showrooms since the end of 2017 \u2013 so Volkswagen has treated it to a facelift to keep it fresh among newer rivals.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/div>\n There\u2019s a restyled front end, a larger infotainment screen on some models, promises of better interior materials, and higher standard equipment levels across the range \u2013 but prices have also risen by between $1750 and $2550.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/div>\n The T-Roc fits into Volkswagen\u2019s<\/a> line-up between the Polo city hatch-based T-Cross and mid-size Tiguan.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/div>\n The T-Roc range includes three model variants \u2013 and it\u2019s the base car on test here, the front-wheel-drive 110TSI Style.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/div>\n Prices start from $37,250<\/strong> plus on-road costs for model year 2022 (MY22) vehicles, which represent the initial batch of cars in the country \u2013 or $36,600<\/strong> plus on-road costs for MY23 models arriving in showrooms now, which for a few more months will miss out on blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert and proactive occupant protection safety features due to the semiconductor shortage (more details here<\/a>).<\/p>\n <\/span><\/div>\n Drive-away prices for MY23 models with no options fitted range from $40,500 to $41,700 depending on the state or territory.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/div>\n The entry-level T-Roc is about $6000 dearer than a base Mazda CX-30<\/a> automatic, or $3000 higher than the cheapest Skoda Kamiq<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/div>\n But its equipment levels are more closely aligned with mid-grade versions of both rivals \u2013 and compared to those cars, the Volkswagen is within a few hundred dollars ($36,690 plus on-roads for a CX-30 G20 Touring, or $41,990 drive-away for a Kamiq Monte Carlo).<\/p>\n <\/span><\/div>\n Our test car was a MY22 vehicle finished in no-cost Pure White (with a black roof) and a $600 hands-free power tailgate, bringing the total price to $37,850 plus on-road costs, or approximately $42,500 drive-away using a Sydney postcode.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/div>\n For the money, you get 18-inch alloy wheels, an 8.0-inch touchscreen with wired Apple CarPlay\/Android Auto, an 8.0-inch instrument display, LED headlights, microfleece seats, dual-zone climate control, wireless phone charging, power-folding mirrors, keyless entry and start, and a suite of advanced safety features.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/div>\n There\u2019s an array of options available, from $650 metallic paint and a $2000 sunroof to two option packages priced up to $3950, which if all ticked can push the price past $50,000 drive-away.
