Thanks for doing a review in such miserable weather!
Thanks Thomas for this test, finally something fresh and interesting from VW, I see you enjoy cabrios like I do, so yeah we are a dying breed lol, there are no cabrios anymore with normal pricing, so I'm very happy that this concept was approved ! One mx-5 for fun, and one of this for cruising :)
@@autogefuehl Many many likes. Excelent video, continue your wonderful job. We test the cars with you. I want your opinion for the new juke, with 17 inc wheels because i'm ready to buy this car and the engine 1.0 is new and i don'n know how test it. Thank's a lot again Thommas, Autogefuhl with you is the best!!!!!
I like this car. My first two cars have been convertibles (after I stopped going around in motorcycles) and I drove them roof down 80% of the time, including in winter in Germany. Simply loved it. Now close to early retirement but still feeling very young the T-roc Cab really attracts my attention: enough space for four (or two plus the dog) if really needed on short stretches, enough luggage space (fold away rear seats) for short holiday trips with my better half or on my own. Decent alternatives are all much more expensive, such as Audi A2, BMW 2, Mercedes. Evoque (never like that look though). Your perfect every day short distance open top car. Will get one.
I am really impressed with this concept 1.5 R SUV convertible. I love a Land Rover Evoke Convertible but it is way out of my price range and no longer in production. I love convertibles and came across the T-Roc Cab on holiday; I love the shape the look and the fact that it is affordable to own and use as an everyday SUV. I have owned a few dynamic soft-top sports cars: a Porsche Boxster S, BMW Z4, and two BMW Z3s, so it would be nice to have the VW T-Roc SUV Cabriolet as a good grown-up alternative to cruise around in.
As long as it is better executed than the Nissan Murano Cross Cabriolet, I have no problem with it. I wish they had used the hard top convertible design from the Eos. Not exactly my cup of tea. Thanks for another great review.
Hi Tomas, Thanks for these great videos. Wouldn't it be great if at the end of the videos you could add an onscreen list / columns of the Fuel consumption and any other specs plus one or two competitors specs.
Great Review. Entertaining and amusing driving part with Thomas obviously in his element in a convertible - with roof down whatever the weather! Thanks Thomas. Not really an SUV, perhaps a Sports Activity Vehicle? Or whatever they're called now? But why worry about the name. Wasn't it Holger who said he liked this car? Cheers.
As is the case with a number of VW products, we won't be seeing this (or any other T-Rocs for that matter) here in North America. The only roughly comparable vehicle I can recall in the US was the Nissan Murano Cabriolet that disappeared a few years ago. For those who think T-Roc cabriolet is a monstrosity, the Murano was far, far worse.
@@Andrei.B... no this thing is even more controversial in comparison eith these two. At least the fiat and the sy were made with a precise idea. Wtf is a 3 cylinder suv cabrio.
Hi Thomas! I will go in Spain for 2 weeks this summer and my wife and my boys ( ages18 and 20) really want to rent a convertible. The only one I could find is exactly the car reviewed by you in this video. Since we will be four passengers (basically 4 adults) with probably 3 or 4 large suitcases (I'll try to convince my wife to reduce them to 3 :)), I have two questions for you: 1. Is this car suitable for 4 people? 2. Do you think we can cram in the trunk 3 (or at least 2) large suitcases (not cabin suitcases!) and the rest in the lap or at the feet of the rear passengers? The hotel is 25-30 km from the airport, a half an hour drive. I konw it's not practical but I was thinking that, for a little discomfort for those in the back seat, it will be worth it and it will be fun for the rest of the stay. I would be grateful for a quick reply. Thank you very much!
-Worker in the assembly line: we got some spare wheels, a car body and a few other leftover parts, but we ran out of roofs. - Head Designer: let’s make a T-roc Cabrio.
NOBODY asked for this. Even JLR who manage to sell £60k Range Rovers that break down every thousand miles decided a convertible SUV was a bad idea and discontinued the Evoque cabriolet. What makes anybody at VW think they're going to sell any? This is hilarious!
I just don't understand, I don't know what kind of hectic schedule the producers of the video was in, but taking a convertible review video in a rainy day?? Look how pathetic he is going top down and up in the rain! They couldn't wait until the rain stops or reschedule the shooting day? This video looked really really dorky and i give it a thumb down
I like it too. But for 25 k eur? Its cool and all but for me it makes no sence buying it new as i just finnished my masters degree. Ill look at a vw eos for 4k eur or a used bmw 4 series convertible for 17k eur. Eos is a very simmilar experience to this for 15% of the price and the bmw has allready done the depriciation and is waaaay cooler also 10k cheaper
Vegan interior is a valuable point. i an veggie since 30years and vegan since 4years. The Evo Cabrio is my last one with leather interior ;-) ! i promise 😇
Interesting concept to use the T-Roc for a convertible, probably the first convertible SUV in the world. But strange that VW still uses an 8 years old steering wheel of the 2012 Golf. In general VW thoughts were probably to make the most out of the T-Roc platform with investing the least amount of money.
It's shame that so many people (see other comments in this comment section) are so thickheaded just because this car is different. It makes perfect sense. I know people who sold their MX-5 cause getting in and out of it's challenging for their backs as they age. But they still love convertible feel. This car is good and I hope that other manufactures will also make more affordable convertibles. Like Suzuki, Skoda, Seat, Dacia,... If Dacia would make and sell bare bones convertible for 7000GBP I would buy it even though I'm not fan of Dacia cars and I don't think 7000GBP Sandero it's bargain.
Compare this with the original sketchs of the T-roc. One thing is to make a futuristic design to look cool, and that is OK...but then producing a Y2K looking car with LED, terrific.
Wondering what convertible to go for when I change my TT roadster. This interests me but looking on the UK VW site I'd say its overpriced and under powered, even with the 150 PS engine. On the other hand if they did with the 2.0 TSI 4 motion, like on the SUV, I'd be looking at over £40k and paying the luxury car tax surcharge as well.
Lol, when I'm driving in the VW EOS with the top down on the highway and suddenly there was quick passing shower. I don't stop to get the top on, I simply drive faster.
I call this car “disappointment on wheels”: a front wheel drive SUV, with a questionable design, a soft top and cheap plastic on the inside. This would be certainly the least car in the world I’d buy. The VW Beetle cabriolet looked so much better than this thing... Still, I appreciate your review as usual.

If I wanted a higher ride and covertible I think I'd buy a Jeep and wouldn't lose the utility as in this concept. Making a T-Roc convertible takes out the U of SUV.
VW, please make a I.D.Cabrio and I will be the first in line to buy one. This T-Roc is not a real off roader. Can't go to the beach with this. I will pass....

I'm a motorcyclist, but! This js the first car that i felt in love with. A dream
Get a Beetle cabrio, if there are some new left. You ll be thankful to yourself, one day.....
Yoy have an awful taste for cars
Are u being sarcastic??!
More like a nightmare...
“If it’s raining inside your convertible with the top down you’re not driving fast enough” - great commentary!

Wow it just looks wrong. Kudos to VW for their courage.
Feel free to buy a car like this during the c* disease (you know what disease I mean). Enjoy driving this car only in your country
It surprises me somewhat that I like this car. Enjoyed this video very much.

Awesome this car will help fullfill the dream of convertible cars where they only were available on a highly premium price. This is a right choice

thanks m8 !
I like the VW innovation and color too. Danke Thomas from Normandy.

Hi Tomas, Thanks for these great videos. Wouldn't it be great if at the end of the videos you could add an onscreen list / columns of the Fuel consumption and any other specs plus one or two competitors specs.
thanks! Well that could help, it is hard to decide what to put on screen and what not, same goes to engine specs.
lovely car, nice review, thanks and welldone vw.

Great and practical review! The car looks awesome!,
Wtf is VW thinking...
Mgoblagulkablong same what Land Rover was...
Nissan too
I think they been smoking and not thinking... What they been smoking, we still waiting to find out.
thx thomas from south korea
OMG 4years of waiting. So nice 👍
But why wouldn’t VW is not going to sale them in US market 😪
I imported one, worth every penny
Loveeeeeee Convertible & always esp T Roc even though i living in 🇨🇭
Love that have rare camera ideas as well
Loved it!
Hats off to you guys testing a roof down car in the pouring rain.
👌👋
Very nice review. Is this cabriolet available as 4 door model or only two doors?
I like this car. I also like Vegan Ice Cream.

Thank you 😊
It's so painful for my eyes to see so much ugliness in one car.

Hi Thomas! I will go in Spain for 2 weeks this summer and my wife and my boys ( ages18 and 20) really want to rent a convertible. The only one I could find is exactly the car reviewed by you in this video. Since we will be four passengers (basically 4 adults) with probably 3 or 4 large suitcases (I'll try to convince my wife to reduce them to 3 :)), I have two questions for you:
1. Is this car suitable for 4 people?
2. Do you think we can cram in the trunk 3 (or at least 2) large suitcases (not cabin suitcases!) and the rest in the lap or at the feet of the rear passengers? The hotel is 25-30 km from the airport, a half an hour drive. I konw it's not practical but I was thinking that, for a little discomfort for those in the back seat, it will be worth it and it will be fun for the rest of the stay. I would be grateful for a quick reply. Thank you very much!
Hey! 4 tall people and 4 tall suitcases? No way
Use cabin trolleys and even then it will be close
@@autogefuehl Yep... That's exactly what I told my wife 😀. My words exactly "No way" 😀
@@autogefuehl Anyway, Thank you for your quick reply! All the best and keep up the good work!
Buyers can't get surprised any longer - since the Nissan Juke v. 1. anything goes...

It actually looks quite decent with the top down, especially the side profile but with the roof up it just looks silly for the lack of a better word.
What's not to like? Convertible - good! SUV - good! XD
The cheap trim, the styling, the layout, that color...
I like it too. But for 25 k eur? Its cool and all but for me it makes no sence buying it new as i just finnished my masters degree. Ill look at a vw eos for 4k eur or a used bmw 4 series convertible for 17k eur. Eos is a very simmilar experience to this for 15% of the price and the bmw has allready done the depriciation and is waaaay cooler also 10k cheaper
I hope they make an ID-Cabriolet that looks like this T-Roc
I believe it is the same fabric hood and side glass from the Golf / Audi A3 cabriolet.
Looks better with roof down and windows down. would be perfect for a day at the beach in the summer . stay with the force young jedi
Piove? Bene, andiamo a recensire una Cabrio!
Respect Thomas
appreciated!
Gorrrrrrgeous T Roc ✨✨✨🙋🏻♀️
VW discontinued beetle convertible for THIS...?
Yes and im herefor it. Beetle conv is trash
Nice review, but Thomas (fingers crossed) Evo or T-Roc Convertible? Where is your heart? 😉
hey m8, well since the Evoque is only available with animal skin... T-Roc it is - and for half price
Vegan interior is a valuable point. i an veggie since 30years and vegan since 4years. The Evo Cabrio is my last one with leather interior ;-) ! i promise 😇
awesome m8 !
I never got over just how handsome Thomas is. ❤️😍

I'd be afraid to park this outside my house with the roof down........people will start throwing old mattresses and bags of rubbish into it.

I love it.

VW is all about cars that look 20 years older than they are. Even Seat and Skoda beat their parent company in terms of design.
Are the doors sealed? I wonder if I can use it as a hot tub
great & funny review Thomas, and to answer the question for the video -- hell no, it doesn't work!
Cheers!
thomas, wie gross bist du ? ist ein T-roc cabrio zu empfehlen mit 1.96 m länge ?
Hi! 1.89. könnte klappen, solltest du aber testen. Ansonsten geh Richtung A5 und schau da mal
Love your reviews always Thomas, but this vehicle is not attractive or something I'd like to own.
thanks keep tuning in!

since when does the 8” screen have gesture control?

Didnt i measure?

I wish there was a hard top rather than a soft top just for safety reasons
... vegan ice-cream parlour... LOL

This cannot be taken serious. Cabriolet review in heavy rain. LoL
cannot pick the weather :) All testing days were rain at that period
Hood and wind deflector/rear seats look like they’re straight out of the Mk6 Golf convertible.
Oh god! They actually did it. I thought it was just a joke. When I thought SUVs couldn't look any worse.
On the + side it look better then the rover one
Lol, when I'm driving in the VW EOS with the top down on the highway and suddenly there was quick passing shower. I don't stop to get the top on, I simply drive faster.
I was thinking the same... The interior just so cheap and basic, I don't know if I could settle for that finish
