The differences between T-Roc and Tacqua lie in the powertrain system, engine displacement, and transmission type. The T-Roc is based on Volkswagen's MQB-A1 platform, while the Tacqua uses the MQB-A2 platform. The detailed differences are as follows: 1. Exterior-wise, the rear styling of both vehicles is quite similar, but there are noticeable distinctions in the fog light and exhaust layouts. The T-Roc features a honeycomb mesh decoration and fog lights connected above the exhaust, while the Tacqua adopts a more conventional design. Additionally, the grille patterns and front lip styling differ significantly between the two models. 2. For the interior, the Tacqua's center console panel is framed with wider decorative trim. The T-Roc places its air vents on either side of the screen, whereas the Tacqua positions them below the screen. The T-Roc has a more traditional dashboard layout, while the Tacqua's console is slightly angled toward the driver. Minor differences also exist in door handle and glove compartment designs. 3. Regarding powertrain, the T-Roc offers 1.2T and 1.4T engine options, while the Tacqua provides 1.5L and 1.4T variants. Both models share the same EA211 1.4T engine with identical performance parameters. The 1.4T versions of both vehicles are paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission (DCT). However, the T-Roc has an additional top-tier 4WD variant, which uses a wet-type 7-speed DCT, whereas the front-wheel-drive 1.4T models employ dry-type DCTs. 4. Overall, the T-Roc is positioned one segment above the Tacqua, with the T-Roc classified as a compact SUV and the Tacqua as a subcompact SUV. Consequently, the Tacqua has smaller dimensions and a lower price point.
