Volkswagen T-Roc Cabriolet Review & Prices

Tastes change. Remember when everybody used to smoke? Not so much, these days. People used to exclusively buy family hatchbacks, too, but now the family SUV is in vogue. And now stepping on to the catwalk are open-top SUVs like the Volkswagen T-Roc Cabriolet.

This look might take a little longer to hit the high streets, but it makes sense when you think about it. We used to happily buy open-top hatchbacks, so why not open-top SUVs?

And as they go, the Volkswagen T-Roc Cabriolet isn’t half bad. It has a chunky, upright stance and clean lines roof up or down that’ll certainly turn heads. Inside you get the usual VW quality and straightforward logic in terms of design, plus its latest touchscreen infotainment systems.

Like the standard T-Roc, the Cabriolet will seat five people, and with only two doors the space between its front and rear wheels has been extended to allow more room for those in. the back. However, at 284 litres its boot will be noticeably smaller than the standard car’s. Dropping the electrically operated roof takes 11 seconds.

Only petrol engines are offered in the T-Roc Cabriolet – either a 110hp 1.0-litre three-cylinder or 150hp 1.5 four-cylinder, with the latter also having a choice between a six-speed manual or seven-speed automatic gearbox.

There are just two trims to choose between too, either Style or R-Line, the former being cheaper and focused on comfort, the latter more expensive with a more aggressive, sporty look inside and out.

So, if you loved open-top hatchbacks but want to be bang on trend, then this could be the car for you.
