Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

Remains one of the best all-round, reasonably priced EVs you can buy today.

Pros
Excellent,
efficient powertrain.
64kWh version provides big range

Cons
Should be more spacious.
Material quality could be better

By: 
topgear.com

Pros
Great electric range
Good fun to drive
Generous equipment

Cons
Other EVs have nicer interiors
Boot is a bit small
Quickest charging difficult to achieve

By:

The 64kWh version of the Hyundai Kona Electric has a fantastic real-world range between charges, plus it’s quick and well-equipped. However, excellent rivals including the Kia e-Niro and Volkswagen ID.3 are better all-rounders thanks to their superior ride comfort and more practical interiors.

Pros
Near 260-mile range in real-world conditions (64kWh battery)
Strong acceleration
Even the base model is well equipped

Cons
Choppy ride
Not as roomy as rivals
Interior could be classier

By:

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.

By:

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

By: 
carwow.co.uk

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
