The VW T-Roc R is the go-fast compact SUV that you didn’t know you needed.

it takes the familiar recipe from other VW R models - a 2.0-litre turbo charged potent powertrain and all-wheel-drive - and crams all that go-fast goodness into a small SUV body.

That might sound like a strange fit, but the compact SUV segment is one of Australia’s most popular – and also one of its most highly competitive. But, surprisingly, this is only the second performance oriented small crossover with serious speed on its side. The other one is the Hyundai Kona N - but unlike the VW, it isn’t AWD.

in this review, Tom White assesses the new 2023 Volkswagen T-Roc R to find out whether it offers a compelling alternative to the more mainstream Golf R hatchback, considering the T-Roc costs about $6000 less.
