Skoda Enyaq
VS

VW Golf
VW T-Roc
VS
The VW Golf still sets the benchmark in the compact class — a composed, all‑round hatch that rewards drivers with precise steering, efficient engines and sensible practicality for daily life. The VW T‑Roc trades a bit of that pinch‑perfect poise for SUV style, a higher seating position and a roomier boot, so choose the Golf for sharper handling and economy or the T‑Roc if you want presence, flexibility and the delightful illusion of being an inch taller.
