Volkswagen T-Roc SUV - Reliability & safety

Only time will tell if the Volkswagen T-Roc will prove to be as dependable as other models in the German manufacturer’s range, but judging by our experience and the results of other VW models in our Driver Power surveys, it’s pretty safe to assume that your T-Roc will be a reliable machine.

Safety

A five-star crash safety rating from independent expert body Euro NCAP provides buyers with reassurance that the T-Roc will look after its occupants should the worst happen. However, a generous list of crash-avoidance technologies should minimise the likelihood of an impact.

All models have 'front assist' - VW-speak for autonomous emergency braking, as well as adaptive cruise control to maintain a set distance from the car in front, while city emergency brake assist will bring the car to a safe standstill in urban traffic when necessary. Lane assist is also a feature, helping to ease a driver's workload, particularly when in fast moving traffic.

Naturally, mandatory features such as anti-lock brakes and traction control are fitted, as is a warning sound if any doors are left ajar when you begin your journey or any occupants aren't wearing a seat belt.
