Description
The 2022 Volkswagen T-Roc Life is a practical, stylish, and tech-filled compact SUV that sits in the middle of the T-Roc range. With its updated design, improved interior quality, and strong mix of features, the Life trim is a great choice for those who want a refined SUV.
The 2022 facelift gave the T-Roc a more premium and modern look. The Life trim features 17-inch alloy wheels, LED headlights, and body-colored bumpers, giving it a smart and sophisticated appearance. The T-Roc’s slightly rugged stance, combined with Volkswagen’s signature design language, makes it stand out in the crowded compact SUV market.
Inside, Volkswagen has improved the materials, with more soft-touch surfaces and a modernized layout. The 8-inch infotainment touchscreen (which supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto) and the Digital Cockpit driver display come as standard, giving the cabin a high-tech feel. The seats are comfortable, and the driving position offers excellent visibility. However, some lower plastics still feel hard, reminding you that it’s not quite a premium SUV.
The T-Roc Life is available with a range of engines, but the most common choice is the 1.0 TSI petrol engine with 110PS. While it’s efficient and smooth, it may feel a little underpowered for those who frequently drive on motorways or carry a full load of passengers.
The ride is comfortable, with the suspension handling bumps well. The steering is light and precise, making city driving easy, but the T-Roc also feels composed on the motorway.
The T-Roc is also practical, with a 445-liter boot that expands to 1,290 liters when the rear seats are folded. This makes it one of the more spacious options in its class. Rear passengers get decent legroom and headroom, making it suitable for families or those who need extra space for luggage.
