The main reason to opt for the T-Roc R is its 2.0-litre, 300hp engine, permanent four-wheel drive and automatic DSG gearbox that turns this SUV into something that could blow the socks off a hot hatch. But the T-Roc R also gets 19-inch alloy wheels, various 'R' detailing and you can choose a range of paint options too. Also, VW's Dynamic Chassis Control (DCC) adaptive damper system is available as an option. This gives you a range of driving modes that alters the driving characteristics of the car.
