Compare the Volkswagen T-Roc vs Lexus LBX
AI generated from our expert reviews
Choosing between the Volkswagen T-Roc and the Lexus LBX comes down to how much space you need and how you prefer your SUV to handle. Both cars settle into being very quiet at a motorway cruise. In the corners, the T-Roc stays flat, whereas the LBX exhibits quite a lot of body lean. Practicality also sets them apart: the T-Roc has a bigger boot, can tow more, and leaves enough space for a six-foot-two passenger to sit comfortably behind a driver of the same height. In the LBX, rear legroom disappears behind a six-foot-two driver. Operating the driver assistance features is simpler in the Volkswagen, which has a dedicated menu and shortcut button to switch off unwanted alerts, whereas the Lexus buries settings like its speed limit warning beneath several layers of touchscreen menus.
