Is the T-Roc a Three-Cylinder Car?
2 Answers
The T-Roc is not a three-cylinder car; it is a four-cylinder car. This model offers two powertrain options, equipped with 1.2T and 1.4T turbocharged engines, respectively. The 1.4T engine comes in both high-power and low-power versions. The 1.2T engine has a maximum power output of 85 kW, while the 1.4T low-power engine delivers 96 kW, and the 1.4T high-power engine produces 110 kW. The T-Roc is a compact SUV with dimensions of 4318 mm in length, 1819 mm in width, and 1582 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2680 mm. In terms of suspension, the T-Roc features a front MacPherson independent suspension and a rear multi-link independent suspension.
The Volkswagen T-Roc I currently drive is the 1.0T version with a three-cylinder engine, but the specific details depend on the year and configuration. In my daily use, this car performs decently overall. The three-cylinder engine is fuel-efficient and eco-friendly, with a city fuel consumption of around 6 liters per 100 kilometers, saving me a lot of money. However, the engine vibration is noticeable, especially during cold starts, and it takes some time to get used to. Volkswagen's design is quite smart, using a smaller engine to lower the entry barrier, making the T-Roc a popular choice among entry-level SUVs. If you're concerned about the power or stability of the three-cylinder, upgrading to the 1.5T four-cylinder version is a solid option, as it offers a smoother driving experience. In short, before buying, check the official website or specifications and take a test drive to see if the vibration is within your tolerance range.
