As of today, the new T-Roc and the new T-Roc Cabriolet are in the showrooms at Volkswagen dealerships in Germany. Featuring fresh design accentuations on the exterior, significant advances in the areas of operation and connectivity and the very latest generation of assistance systems, the two crossover models build on the success of the previous generation. The interior of the two models also offers a more contemporary style and greater sense of quality than ever before. The standard equipment now includes LED headlights, the Digital Cockpit, an 6.5-inch infotainment display and a redesigned multifunction steering wheel. Assist system highlights include IQ.DRIVE Travel Assist and Predictive ACC. The starting price for the new T-Roc with 1.0 TSI engine is 23,495 euros. The T-Roc Cabriolet is available from 31,850 euros.
Interested customers can now view the benefits of the new models for themselves at the Volkswagen showrooms: these include the enhanced exterior design, which is now even more striking thanks to new body finishes. The redesigned interior is discreetly refined in style, with everything perfectly in view. Central elements include the multifunction steering wheel, the standard Digital Cockpit (with fully digital display and operating system) and the redesigned infotainment displays, which – depending on equipment – are 6.5 inches to 9.2 inches in size.
The two new models offer numerous advanced assist systems – whether as standard or as optional extras – that were previously only available in higher vehicle classes. The range of standard equipment still includes Front Assist and Lane Assist, while the optional IQ.DRIVE Travel Assist is new to the range, as is the predictive cruise control system Predictive ACC, enabling assisted driving up to 210 km/h within the limits of the system. The range of functions offered by Side Assist has been extended, as has that of Park Assist, which now also takes care of parking forwards in perpendicular parking bays and moving out of parallel parking spaces.
Another highlight among the optional equipment is the IQ.LIGHT – LED matrix headlights. Whether you’re out and about during the day, at night or in bad weather, they always ensure the best possible visibility. While Dynamic Light Assist helps predictively illuminate winding roads within the limits of the system and ensures that oncoming traffic is not dazzled even when the main beam headlights are active, the individual LED segments of the high-tech light system provide better light distribution by specific activation and deactivation depending on the driving situation.
Optimum connectivity. The T-Roc has the latest generation of online services on board thanks to the Modular Infotainment Toolkit (MIB). The We Connect Plus functions enable the use of innovative digital services such as natural online voice control and access to streaming services. Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™ functions can also be integrated wirelessly into the control system via App Connect Wireless, if desired.
Five engines for the launch. Three petrol and two diesel engines with an output ranging from 81 kW (110 PS) to 140 kW (190 PS) are available for the new T-Roc. Depending on the drive, they are combined with either a 6-speed manual transmission or a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission (DSG).4MOTION all-wheel drive is available in conjunction with the 110 kW (150 PS) diesel engine and comes as standard in the 2.0-litre TSI with 140 kW (190 PS) for particularly supreme power transmission.
Close the door, open the roof! Highlights of the new T-Roc Cabriolet
When the first rays of sunshine appear in spring, you can enjoy relaxed driving in the T-Roc Cabriolet and feel the wind in your face. It offers space for four people, a luggage compartment volume of 284 litres and a soft top that opens fully automatically in 9 seconds and closes in 11 seconds, thanks to a electrohydraulic drive. Two petrol engines with turbocharging and direct injection are available for the open-top variant, the 1.0 TSI 81 kW (110 PS) and the 1.5 TSI 110 kW (150 PS), guaranteeing efficient driving pleasure for a relaxed cruising experience. And if anything does go wrong, there is a protection system that springs out in a fraction of a second to protect occupants in a worst-case scenario.
