Hi, guys welcome to another blog of mine ,in this blog of mine I ‘m going to tell you about the new Volkswagen t-roc, it is an rival of cars like hyundai creta , Kia seltos , Jeep Compass .
The vehicle is imported from Germany and the import of the vehicle is in limited numbers 2500 units and after the response from the Indian market the production target will be decided . The car is based on the latest MQB platform of Volkswagen group of automobiles.
The power train option is just one, which is 1.5 TSI petrol engine paired to 7-speed DSG gearbox which is the best gearbox in the segment, offers slick shifts . This petrol engine is turbocharged and has direct injection , it offers punchy performance in the mid-range and screams in top end of the rev range, redlining at around 6300 RPM . This engine offers 150 PS of power and 250 NM torque .i It offers nice fuel efficiency of 15-18 km/l on highway and in city 12-13 km/l which is good. The city and highway performances are good . the top speed of the vehicle is 204 km/h (claimed).
Volkswagen T-roc offers plenty of features like passive entry, push button start, lane keep assits , digital instrument cluster offers every information we need , 8.0 inch infotainment system supports Apple Car Play and Android Auto, navigation, vehicle information, real time mileage , auto hold, parking brake and rear parking camera and sensors, LED headlamps and tail lamps , automatic headlight and whippers , center console is gorgeous and is finished in the body color along the dashboard . its gets huge Panaromic sunroof as well. The only problem with the vehicle is rear seat space and dashboard quality is very low.
The suspension system of the vehicle is very accurate, not much soft and not much stiff , its just pin point accurate. The ride and handling is just phenomenal, it defeats the Kia seltos in terms of handling and ride quality which is very stiff. The steering wheel gives good feedback, but some how its feels artificial like other vehicle of Volkswagen and its group of companies. The build quality of the Volkswagen is just mind blowingly strong which helps it the high speed stability of the vehicle. The vehicle does moves even past 160 km/h . The car is overpriced and this would be the only issue other wise it excels in everything.
The pricing of the T-roc starts from 20L- 25L (ex-showroom Mumbai) the top the line variant comes with All-wheel-drive option as well.
