You might think that you need to spend a lot of money on a hardcore off-roader, but the Volkswagen T-Roc proves that need not be the case. Not only is the T-Roc comfortable and practical among small SUVs, but it's also available with Volkswagen's 4Motion four-wheel drive system, which does a good job of keeping your wheels turning in slippery conditions.
In terms of power, it's the most powerful petrol engine which we recommend, badged as 2.0 TSI 190. It allows the T-Roc to sprint to 62mph in a swift 6.8sec. There's an even faster Volkswagen T-Roc R available, but that model isn't as sure-footed in the snow.
