Volkswagen T-Roc

Volkswagen

The Volkswagen T-Roc compact crossover has sold more than two million examples since its 2017 launch, and eight years after its debut, we finally have a second generation. The new car looks incredibly sleek and follows Volkswagen’s latest futuristic design cues seen in cars like the Tiguan and Tayron.

The second-generation car is 122mm longer than its predecessor (4,373mm) and has an additional 28mm in its wheelbase. It’s also 9mm wider and taller than before, although Volkswagen claims it hasn’t come at the expense of aerodynamics; with a drag coefficient of 0.29, meaning it’s 10 percent slipperier.

What Engine Will The Volkswagen T-Roc Have?

The Mk2 T-Roc will be the first car from the brand to feature a full-hybrid set-up, although the new tech won’t be offered until summer 2026. Alongside several mild hybrid options, the T-Roc will have two full-hybrid set-ups, one with 167bhp and the other with 134bhp.

A 1.5-liter four-cylinder petrol engine will enable all-electric driving, thanks to a separate electric motor, a feature that has been available on Volkswagen cars since 2022.

The overall specifications of the full-hybrid cars haven’t yet been confirmed, although many believe this will be more frugal than the current 1.5-liter TSI T-Roc, which can return 46.8mpg when fitted with an automatic ‘box.

Volkswagen also claims a 15 percent efficiency improvement with the new full-hybrid versus a mild-hybrid, with c02 emissions of around 100g/km.

The Mk2 T-Roc will be launched with mild-hybrid powertrains, while a 2.0-liter all-wheel drive option is expected to arrive in 2026. The mild-hybrids will come with a 1.5-liter eTSI four-cylinder petrol engine, offering either 148bhp or 114bhp, front-wheel drive and a seven-speed automatic box.

What’s New With The Volkswagen T-Roc’s Design?

EV styling aside, the Volkswagen T-Roc will feature matrix LED lights flowing to an illuminated badge, while sportier R-Line models come with the usual bespoke bodykit, which features larger 20-inch alloys, a more aggressive front grille and a gloss black rear diffuser.

Inside, lower models get a 10.2-inch touchscreen, while R-Line cars benefit from a 12.9-inch screen. Both use Volkswagen’s latest MIB4 infotainment system and there’s a ChatGPT-based voice assistant. Likewise, the driver gets a 10-inch digital gauge cluster, similar to the Golf’s, and a heads-up display as standard.

How Much Will The Volkswagen T-Roc Cost?

Presales are now open, and first deliveries are expected before the end of 2025. Pricing hasn’t yet been announced, although many believe this will be a mild increase over the current car, which is priced from just under £30,000 ($40,283).
