Volkswagen's T-Roc R High Performance Crossover Goes On Sale In Europe Priced Just Under $50K

Following its world debut at the Geneva Motor Show earlier this year, the VW T-Roc R high-performance SUV is now available to buy in Europe.

The first VW SUV to feature the R treatment, the T-Roc R starts from €43,995 (approximately $48,730), which is a lot of money for a non-premium subcompact SUV. However, buyers do get plenty of bang for their buck, especially performance-wise.

There is no prestige in buying a VW - they are expensive for their class - and unreliable. Maybe they have a better reputation in Europe but they seem to want to move the brand upmarket - where it does not belong here.

What VW is expensive for its class? Most have class leading room and features while having very similar costs to its actual competition.

@trboaccord:

Arteon / A4 prices for a Fusion alternative
Touareg / Mercedes pricing for a mediocre SUV

VW plays the game of a competitive base price, but (1) getting VW base models is tough and (2) VW cha-chings the price up with equipment bundles that are VERY expensive.

Arteon is between A6/A7 size so not even a close comparison to A4 besides the fact a Loaded Arteon is comparable to a BASE A4.. VW hasnt brought the Touareg into the U.S for over 2 years and when it did it was $20K+ less then a comparable Benz so keep trying. VW Base models are readily available and to get nice equipment it isnt a big jump so stick to your chryslers putz.
