Comparison: Boot space VW T-Roc vs. competitors 2025

Now, let's march through the annals of history—or rather, the single entry noting the generational shift of the T-Roc. The boot space, as it turns out, is a constant in the universe. From its inception in 2017 to the slightly nipped and tucked 2022 version, the cargo capacity has remained unwavering at 445 liters. Evidently, VW found the sweet spot on their first go, or maybe they adhere to the principle, 'If it ain't broke, don't fix it.' Either way, the T-Roc's boot remains a static monument in the volatile world of automotive design changes.

In the grand orchestra that is VW's model lineup, the T-Roc plays the role of the versatile violin, seamlessly fitting between the smaller ensembles like the Polo and Golf, and the grand symphonies of the Touareg and the Tiguan. When compared to its compatriots, it clearly overshadows the likes of the VW Polo with its paltry 351 liters or the even more minuscule VW up! variants, squatting at around 250 liters. Yet, it respectfully tips its hat to the larger VW Passat Variant and the heralded Touran, which offer boot spaces akin to small caverns capable of engulfing one's entire luggage and possibly a small kayak.

Stepping out of the familial VW circle and into the neighbor's yard, the T-Roc faces stiff competition, yet stands its ground admirably. It modestly surpasses the likes of the BMW X2, with its 470 liters—a close rival, but one that must acknowledge the T-Roc's superior cargo management. The Suzuki Across, a vehicle that somehow manages to pack a boot of 490 liters, edges out the T-Roc, but let's not forget to take into account the extra sushi rolls you could store in there. The Volvo C70, in a surprising twist of design, limps behind with a mere 403 liters, making it a more suitable choice for those who pack light. Meanwhile, daredevils looking to stuff their vehicle like a Thanksgiving turkey may glance enviously at Cadillac's XT5, which boasts an opulent 850 liters, practically a studio apartment in some cities.
