AI generated from our expert reviews

Both the Renault 4 E-Tech and the Volkswagen T-Roc are comfortable and refined on the motorway, where wind and road noise do not become an issue, and both give you decent visibility all round. They differ when it comes to carrying passengers in the back. While the T-Roc provides space on the rear bench for adults to travel in a decent level of comfort even if those in front are quite tall, adults sitting in the back of the Renault 4 will probably start feeling cramped on long journeys. The T-Roc is also longer, can tow more, and has a bigger boot.
