This is the new Volkswagen T-Roc Vs Volkswagen T-Cross comparison for 2021. The two VW models are so similar that we cannot see the economic reason of selling both side by side but maybe you can? Simply put the main difference between the two is that the T-Cross is the cheaper SUV and the T-Roc is the more expensive model.
Volkswagen T-Roc Vs Volkswagen T-Cross exterior design : Both SUVs are on the high end of the conservative side of 2021 design trends. This means it looks like any VW made in the last 10 years. Yes you are buying dated design language if considering either cars. If you like being low profile with your new car that looks old then they would be perfect. The higer the model grade and packages you choose do make the sportier’ or high end of cheaper. Only those with real cash to plash will pick a fully loaded T-Roc or T-Cross with the poverty pack exterior package.
Volkswagen T-Roc Vs Volkswagen T-Cross interior: The interior design of both are very similar but not identical and to be honest looks and feels the same overall but dependent the model grade and options list. Regardless it is an unfortunate problem that both the T-Roc and T-Cross are not any more special than the say the latest Hyundai down to the hard plastic dashboards despite the higher price tag.
Volkswagen T-Roc Vs Volkswagen T-Cross engines and technology: There are few features that you can’t option up or add to the spec sheet to these two SUVs. No point in going through the spec sheet for the gadget or trinkets. The only surprise between the two models is that they don’t share engines – as of 2021 in this part of the world at least.
The conclusion and winner of the Volkswagen T-Roc Vs Volkswagen T-Cross comparison is a draw. We could not really tell which was which without being in the showroom – and that’s part of the problem. In the end the T-Roc has the more powerful engine but more expensive, targeted at ‘larger’ SUVs like the CRV, CX-5 etc.. where as the T-Cross is clearly targeted at cheaper competitors like the Hyundai Venue, Ford Puma and Mazda CX-3. However this comparison is not about it’s competitors but about these two models and we don’t think either are worth considering due to pricing, looks on the outside and don’t have the ambience of past VW models on the inside.
