After how the car seems from the outside, let’s talk about what does the Volkswagen T-Roc looks like from the inside?

 

The vehicle comes with five, two-toned fabric seats and a leather steering wheel. The inside of the Volkswagen T-Roc actually gives off some premium golf vibes, the ambiance and the seats are pretty comfortable as well. But there is way too much hard plastic used on the inside of the vehicle. The Volkswagen T-Roc comes with an 8.0-inch touchscreen. This vehicle also offers dual-zone climate control, keyless entry and start, ambient lighting, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto. There is plenty of space in the cabin, especially for the front row seats. The 140 TSI Sport is a nice family car, it is fairly larger than the standard small SUVs. There is space for two baby seats in the back. The rear seats are pretty okay for teens around 5.3 inches tall, there is enough legroom and headspace for them.

 

If we talk about the boot size; Volkswagen T-Roc offers the boot space of 445 Liters (for 110 TSI Style) and 392 liters (for 140 TSI Sport). The boot size can also be expanded by folding the rear seats at 60:40.

The car is equipped with six airbags, including a side airbag and a side curtain airbag at the rear side along with an emergency brake assist system, traction control, emergency brake-force distribution, and the lane departure warning.
