What reviewers say

Reviewers agree the second-generation T-Roc is spacious, comfortable, quiet and easy to drive, with a better-finished interior than the first. It is composed rather than fun in corners, and the ride and road noise worsen on the largest wheels; Autocar found it pricey and would prefer physical climate controls, and What Car? pointed to the Ford Puma for keen drivers.
