VW T-Roc 1.Generation 1.5 TSI OPF ACT Sport 4MOTION DSG - Terrain

Is the VW T-Roc 1.Generation 1.5 TSI OPF ACT Sport 4MOTION DSG also suitable for off-road use? Here usually a distinction is made between "soft-roaders" and real off-roaders. For real off-road capability it needs more than just some more ground clearance. The SUV boom of the last 10 years has produced many cars that look off-road capable but have limited capability to do so.

The VW T-Roc has all-wheel drive, which means that the basic requirement is already met. The ground clearance, another important criterion, is 158 mm for this automotive. This is an average value, i.e. dirt roads and slightly uneven terrain are no problem for the car. Torque is available at 250 Nm, which is something you can start with - but if you pull a lot, you will also feel it properly.

The integrated 360-degree camera can also help you move forward on rough terrain and avoid damage.

Rating: The VW T-Roc has all-wheel drive as well as acceptable ground clearance. Occasional off-road excursions are no problem. However, it is not a real off-road vehicle.
