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
Infiniti updates the 2021 QX50 lineup with some minor alterations. Every model now comes with a Wi-Fi hotspot, laminated front side glass, and side-mounted airbags in the rear seat.

Pros One of the better-looking crossovers, quiet and refined manners, pretty and roomy interior.
Cons Unrefined engine sounds during acceleration, underwhelming fuel economy, annoying infotainment details.
Pros Roomy interior with comfortable seating Lots of cargo space Easy to get in and out Quiet at highway speeds
Cons Inconsistent power delivery due to CVT automatic Disappointing real-world fuel economy Steering feels overly light and artificial
