My FIRST DRIVE in the 2020 VW T-Roc R!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 лют 2020
- With thanks to Martins VW Basingstoke, I've finally had the opportunity to get behind the wheel of the new 2020 VW T-Roc R! Seeing as I used to own a MK7.5 Golf R, I've been wanting to experience one of these for a while...

Thanks for watching! :-) - Авто та транспорт
Performance SUVs are becoming more and more popular. I have an RSQ3 (8U 340 BHP), and it's probably the best car I've owned in over 45 years of driving. Enough room, easy to get in and out of, and goes like stink with AWD and the 5 pot 2.5 ltr Turbo engine....sounds awesome as well. Not all of us "more mature" petrolheads are ready for a tamer crossover yet, and these quick SUVs just fit the bill perfectly.....luv 'em!
Cool video! I’m looking forward to seeing these when they arrive in Australia!
Waited patiently for mine, my dad loved it so much he went and bought one aswell
Big fan from Mexico 🇲🇽 mate ! Cheers , great content and fun too haha👍👍😊
Properly comprehensive review mate nicely done!
I’ve seen this and I love it! Great choice for a video. Would be a great vehicle in Canada for our winters, though I’d not trade my 2019 Golf R for it. I would however love to be able to drive a T-Roc R in the cold months and my Golf R the rest of the time... perfect.
Excellent review .
I take my gti to them for servicing, so far one of the only decent Volkswagen dealers around !
More of these videos please 👍🏻
I'm nearly 50 and I've just brought a golf R 3 door manual and now I've seen these--- I want one...
What was your take on the interior plastics ? heard they are not up to golf standard.. being a bit hard
Thanks again for sharing
Would love to see a review of the polo gti if you get chance 👍👍 love the videos
Great video mate. Just wanted to ask you about the ride comfort in Normal mode. Being a sporty SUV with a stiffer suspension and adjustable dampers, I could still see bumpy ride with your body rattling jumping up and down in Normal mode? How bad is it? Had a Fiesta ST and after a few months, my back started to hurt even though I loved it. Lot of city driving going to work and long journeys on the M1, what are your impressions? Thanks
Is the boot any bigger? With the sloping roof line it looks less practical than the boxy golf.
Love small suvs 😍 can’t wait to see how this will compare to the RSQ3 or SQ2
I’ve gone for metallic blue mate get it end of this week can’t wait
whats the prys difference between t-roc vs tiguan r?
Over at Carwow, 0 - 60 has been done in 4.2 seconds. The car is a beast!
Great video Luke. It was funny seeing you try hard not to smile, but it was clear it was bringing a big grin to your face. Always a good sign during a test drive.
If you had a family, would you choose this or the Tiguan R ?
Awesome machine
The new mk8 golf r 340hp comes out next year hope you do a video and test drive
Quality vehicle, pick ours up 1st March in Poole!
How are you finding the T Roc R?
Nice motor!
Hi mate I live near martins Volkswagen what country roads do you drive done?
Watching from Ireland
One of these dechromed would look amazing!
Ray A. Agree. I thought the same as soon as he walked around it at the dealership.
Agreed! 👍🏼
One of the selling points of a crossover is practicality, which you said nothing about.
You needed to convince a bachelor who is now considering to starting a family on why he should let go of his Golf R for this baby.
For me, the vid was more of a "joyride" for you, than giving us (the consumers) information about the car.
What's the music at the start?
He reminds me of a wii character
😂
🤣
💀
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Most underrated comment on UA-cam 2020
Looks a good ski trip mobile. Not keen on dsg farts or boy racer exhausts but the engine sound is good
You’re welcome to come and have a go in my Cupra Formentor VZ Edition. 310 hp but not as staid and boring as the T-Roc
Question - is it necessary to break in a new golf r? Would it be okay to rev it to 6k rpm once or twice a week?
FUCK NO
those hard plastic inside everywhere is really beautiful
US market is begging for more vehicles like this... VW what are ya doing?
The front end looks like a miniature Tiguan
Interior is very similar to the Skoda (same platform I supposed), not to mention skoda is also cheaper.
I absolutely love mine, prefer it to my previous R Estate
I notice there is no Comfort setting, how firm is the ride in the Normal setting, is the car anyway uncomfortable?
I would think it's not too bad due to the higher ride height but wouldn't say for sure
Luke. Get your hands on an X3 M Competition and give us a review. They are pretty quick 😃
I saw one for 90.000€ why not get a m5 ?
The idea of a demonstrator is to test its potential, taking it out for a test drive means just that, not taking it for a 45mph drive from a 300bhp engine, otherwise its a complete waste of time.You got the car dirty, take it back dirty, no need for a fresh tank of fuel, unless you did a 400 mile test drive.
What is the cost
Bought my Up GTI and mk7.5 R from these guys. Can’t fault them! They had a t-roc R there which I think the manager bought for his wife!?
On my short list
Only issue as good as it is, is the small boot! That sloping boot kid cuts a large section of space. Try fitting a pram and all the other stuff that comes with a kid and there isn’t anymore room 🤨 I think I’d rather have a civic type r as a second car for the family, practical and fast.
Drove a Golf R but found it too hard for everyday use. How does the T-Roc compare!
Stuart Bloom In normal mode it’s quite confortable, a bit stiffer than an normal t roc but by far not as hard as in race mode, for everyday use it’s really nice in my opinion
I think I’d prefer the Golf R estate if I wanted extra space.
Carwow measured 0-60 at 4.2...
P XMAN he got a different spec
Another great adventure. We were going to pick 1 of those before we chose the Discovery Sport. They are lovely though, Discovery is nicer to drive. Remember the Smart Fortwo Brabus 😉
I also love the fact your doing like a mini review. Really wish you would branch out into car reviews. Would really widen your viewers.
you didnt even test the launch control feature. Great car tho
He stated many times the car hasn’t been run in yet...
What roads did u take as im in Berkshire
Looks to me like the Overton Road, from the A303 Micheldever junction heading towards Overton then towards Kingsclere. Fantastic roads for proper driving imo
You get the sports dials even in my company Passat diesel lol.... G metre always makes me laugh
David Blackman G’s aren’t impressive though, you can do 3G in a corner in anything
@@WeAre-ip5ud no it's just rubbish a gimek they put on the vw entertainment systems.. nothing special to an R is all I was saying
David Blackman dumb aren’t they, I’ve got ‘sports dials’ in my car, when I test drove it the seller put them up to show me as if that would goad me into buying it 😂 oh look! It DOES produce hp!!
The Iso fix points have delayed our cars until august. They don't meet Australian Design Rules. We are getting a Sydney Swans footy team colour car. White with red roof and black wheels or Red with black roof and black wheels. VW sponsors them. Base model $48-$52k. No guarantee of R model. Estimated for $65k. Golf R money. That said, golf R is $54,990 drive away at present on run out.
Philip Guacci by the time we get them here is Aus VW will update them with the Golf Mk8 dash!
@@jasonc3630 like the Golf Gti TCR. We have waited too long for it and it will be old tech. Unless a new TCR is coming for us. To see the UK market enjoy it. Sad.
Question: VW T-Roc R or Cupra Ateca??
None.. they're both shit.
Tambo74 and getting you cake to check it out
Pleeeease tell me you’ve seen the toureg r coming out 462bhp !!@hampirephotography
I had a 1.5 Golf that had the Performance Monitor. Really not that special.
Need to turn off the soundaktor so you can hear the "real" exhaust. Why would you spend £3000 on an Akrapovic exhaust system only to have it drowned out by "fake" engine noise in the cabin?
Was this Golf R ad? Forget it!
A really long car?? Err..that’ll be Golf R hatch length then😀
How much it will cost in INDIA ????
It wont be the same for INDIA and Indian Roads
📸🎬🎥
Reliable Car ?
The Golf R estate has a much bigger boot, so better for families with pushchairs etc
Agreed. Plus a Golf R Estate has the factor of cool. You don’t see many, it’s more practical and at the end of the day it’s not an another SUV.
@@mikerogers7983 Estate car’s are not cool 🤣 talking rubbish.
@@johnguidetti5839 well if you say so then 🥱
@@mikerogers7983 I do say indeed. Why do you think they sell the least out of Saloons, hatchbacks, coupe, 4x4’s… old folk hearse cars!
@@johnguidetti5839 it’s your opinion. Doesn’t make it right though! Also, nothing to do with sales. Most folk buy SUVs these days. Fast Estates are still cool and rare. Why do Audi only make the RS4 and RS6 in Estate. Because they’re cool!
The name of the exhaust manufacturer is pronounced similarly to akrap-of-itch, not akra-poe-vitch.
When recently in my local BMW dealer I saw the new m135i but I much preferred the x2 m35i just look better same engine just somehow nicer
Could the op please answer my question, I notice there is no Comfort setting, how firm is the ride in the Normal setting, is the car anyway uncomfortable?
If he cant be bothered to answer any questions i ask, then i will un-subscribe.
I’ve just test driven one (take delivery on 09 March 20) and I deliberately hit some medium sized potholes and drains to test the ride. I’ve got to say I was extremely impressed and actually remarked to the salesman how compliant the ride it was. This was standard suspension too without the optional adaptive suspension. I’ve owned BMWs in the past and I must say they are far more back breakingky harsh.
@@glenmcnaughton1595 Thanks for the reply.
Give me a golf r or arteon r line 4 motion and call it a day
Edward Kondek Absolutely love the Arteon, looks so upmarket for the price of them 😊.
Does the Arteon have the option of the 300 horse 2 Litre Golf R engine along with the DSG transmission, suspension, etc?
@@FarideLadak 2.0 liter 280 hp is the most powerful option for Arteon.
Any vids on golf r's coming, keep up the good vids
@Mr Mk7 I wasnt asking for "basically a big golf r" darling 😘
you guys are cute
So, does he have a Golf R? I can't tell.
He used to have, but got shot of it... I'm guessing he never got layed in'it lol
Vw is vw 😍
Made in Portugal 🇵🇹
My local dealer lol.
2nd comment
Better than your BMW 100 times looks cooler
Are you mad
Not really I owned both VWR and bmw 140 i then SQ8 but now got back to This T ROCK
Harem Rasul your the type of idiots we need in this world so idiots like you can buy these ugly things and real men can have beemers
Did someone say “Golf RRRRRRRR”?
Turn off the A/C turn off the start and stop .
Tiguan R Looks 10x better
Not bhed.
happy about the performance monitor being carried over? bruv it's included in bog standard golfs, nothing to really brag about
This guy is busy telling us that he had a Golf R. He mentions this fact more than I can remember. He's such a turn off.
It would be a little odd if I was a turn on if I’m honest
The interior is absolute GASH though 😂 hard plastics everywhere. Put me right off it and just bought another golf.
interior looks cheap and tacky
Steering wheel and dash look terrible.
Better than the Golf R 👌
Relentless Pursuit this comment just gave me a seizure
Can’t even compare it with a golf r 🤦♂️😂 should be compared with a Audi Q3
S3 is indeed better than the Golf R, RS Q3 is king of the hot cross- overs however.
VW do need to work on power outputs however, 300bhp is low these days...
Relentless Pursuit VW Audi both the same engines the same hp it’s just weight aerodynamics and which puts power down better
VW Has basically killed off the Golf R because what they have done here is just made any old SUV/Crossover just as capable and they have taken the special factor out of the Golf R . the Golf R is no longer a unique sporty car in the VW lineup as any old SUV can just be as special and i think that's wrong . They should just keep Family SUV's with normal Diesel engines or 2.0L Petrol/Hybrids. For example Imagine driving around in a VW Passat GTi.. it's just wrong.
Shut up. Just talking rubbish.
Shame about the nasty cheap interior plastic.
SUV 🤮
Golf R estate = lighter, lower, cheaper & better
It just looks incredibly ugly, what kind of car guy would buy this ? Who is this made for?
Its like an x3 M that i saw for 90.000€ 😂 just why?
Sorry mate that car looks ugly and it wouldn’t matter how much performance it had I still wouldn’t haven’t one. I think it cheapens the Golf R brand. 😥 just my opinion!!
