The T?Roc R?Line 1.5 TSI 150PS in Deep Black Pearl is the compact SUV for drivers who still want a bit of sparkle every time they turn the key. In R?,Line trim it looks properly purposeful: deep black paint, assertive styling and a stance that’s more hot hatch on stilts than sensible family crossover. Inside, the Soul/Flint Grey and Titanium Black cabin feels solid, modern and distinctly upmarket. The 1.5 TSI 150PS petrol engine, paired with a slick 6?,speed manual, is the sweet spot of the range. It’s eager, refined and impressively economical, with enough torque to make overtakes easy and B?,roads fun. The Sports Pack underlines that intent: sports suspension, progressive steering and driving profile selection mean you can flick from relaxed commuter to genuinely engaging back?,road companion at the touch of a button, with an ECO mode there to trim fuel bills when you’re cruising. Tech and comfort are quietly premium. “Discover Media” navigation with streaming and internet, wireless App?,Connect and an embedded e?,SIM keep you fully connected, while six speakers handle the soundtrack. The optional heated, leather?,wrapped multifunction sports steering wheel adds a tactile, driver?,focused touch, and the Winter Pack – with heated seats and heated washer jets – makes early starts and cold commutes far more civilised. Driver assistance is seriously comprehensive for a car this size. The Driver Assistance Package brings Front Assist autonomous emergency braking, Adaptive Cruise Control with speed limiter, High Beam Assist and a proactive passenger protection system, all working with a forward camera and dynamic road sign display. Add the rear?,view camera and you’ve got big?,car safety and ease of use in a compact, stylish package.
