VOLKSWAGEN T-ROC

Due in SA: TBC

Volkswagen’s T-Roc is one of many new crossovers and SUVs VW plans to launch in the coming years. VWSA says tthe T-Roc is coming, but timing has yet to be confirmed.

About 25cm shorter than the Tiguan, the T-Roc is based on the Audi Q2 and is set to rival the Toyota C-HR and Nissan Qashqai. European customers get a wide range of TSI (1.0, 1.5 and 2.0) and TDI (1.6 and 2.0) engines to choose from and half the derivatives are fitted with 4Motion all-wheel-drive, an unusual move in the compact SUV segment.

Like the latest Golf and Polo, the T-Roc has a highly digitised cabin and owners will have access to a vast array of online services and driver assistance gadgets.
