Volkswagen T-Roc R review: Five-door compact SUV fulfils the need for speed

mirror.co.uk:

Volkswagen should score a double whammy when it comes to sales of this car – given the popularity of crossovers and fast motors.

It’s is a high performance SUV that fits the bill nicely, hitting two bullseyes in one. But can the T-Roc roll over its rivals?

To create the car Volkswagen went to the stores and dug out the 2.0-litre turbocharged engine and the rest of the drivetrain it used in the Golf R, including 4Motion four-wheel drive and a DSG seven-speed gearbox.

The Golf R is no longer on sale, but there’ll be another one based on the Mk8 Golf in showrooms soon. Meanwhile, I reckon VW can bank on the T-Roc R selling nicely even though it’s not cheap.
