Pros Generous list of standard features Athletic handling instills confidence Luxury badging without the premium price Potent performance from the AMG CLA 45
Cons Engine and transmission are slow to respond at low speeds The ride can be rather stiff Rear seats are confining Some interior elements aren't up to luxury-car standards
The 2019 Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class is a compact luxury car with finesse. Its low price is justified in its small footprint and interior, but it still looks great.
Pros Striking design Responsive powertrains Comfortable front seats Good infotainment with Apple CarPlay/Android Auto added Confident ride
Cons Almost nonexistent rear seat Price tag gets crazy quickly Unforgiving ride Hard to enter and exit Busy transmission
The T-Roc may be among the most significant of many new Volkswagen models, even if it won’t be sold in the United States in the foreseeable future. It’s a new crossover that is roughly the same size as the Golf and is based on the same MQB architecture. For now, at least, the Golf will remain the mainstay of the brand’s lineup, but those within the company who are concerned with sales-growth rates are far more interested in the crossover-SUV segment nearly everywhere on the globe.
Pros Golf-like driving dynamics, decent packaging, adventurous design (for VW).
Cons Only average interior quality, firm ride, we likely won’t get it.
The T-Roc is a small family car that blends the high driving position and big boot of an SUV with the economical engines from a conventional small car. It is quite expensive, however…
Pros More comfortable than alternatives Well equipped as standard Decent range of engines
Cons Cheap-feeling interior plastics Alternatives are cheaper Back seats could be more spacious
The Volkswagen T-Roc looks good, drives well and offers plenty of space, but it's pricey and some rivals have a nicer interior.
Pros Easy to personalise Good to drive Stylish
Cons Expensive Interior quality issues Rivals offer better value
