The T-Roc may be among the most significant of many new Volkswagen models, even if it won’t be sold in the United States in the foreseeable future. It’s a new crossover that is roughly the same size as the Golf and is based on the same MQB architecture. For now, at least, the Golf will remain the mainstay of the brand’s lineup, but those within the company who are concerned with sales-growth rates are far more interested in the crossover-SUV segment nearly everywhere on the globe.
Pros Golf-like driving dynamics, decent packaging, adventurous design (for VW).
Cons Only average interior quality, firm ride, we likely won’t get it.
The T-Roc is a small family car that blends the high driving position and big boot of an SUV with the economical engines from a conventional small car. It is quite expensive, however…
Pros More comfortable than alternatives Well equipped as standard Decent range of engines
Cons Cheap-feeling interior plastics Alternatives are cheaper Back seats could be more spacious
The Volkswagen T-Roc looks good, drives well and offers plenty of space, but it's pricey and some rivals have a nicer interior.
Pros Easy to personalise Good to drive Stylish
Cons Expensive Interior quality issues Rivals offer better value
The 2018 GMC Acadia ranked #15 in Midsize SUVs. Currently the GMC Acadia has a score of 8.0 out of 10 which is based on our evaluation of 23 pieces of research and data elements using various sources.
Pros Upscale interior Smooth ride User-friendly infotainment system
Cons Cramped third row Less cargo space than some rivals
A V-6 engine is optional and provides decent hustle, while the standard four-cylinder engine is the choice for buyers mindful of fuel economy.Handsome styling, a well-connected infotainment system, and room for up to seven passengers make the Acadia an easy family favorite.
Pros Seating for seven, handsome styling, a high-tech cabin.
Cons Uneven interior build quality, disappointing fuel economy, a tight third row and cargo hold.
The 3.6-liter V6 is now available on SLE-1 AWD models. Last year's All Terrain package deleted the third-row seat, but it can now be ordered with the third row intact.
PROS Refined ride quality makes it comfortable in any kind of driving situation Quick acceleration from the optional V6 engine Simple cabin layout means everything is usable at a glance Modern onboard technology keeps you connected
CONS Not many places to store small items Some rival crossovers have more cargo and third-row space Cabin isn't particularly luxurious, even in the priciest trim levels
