The combination of a progressive look, sporty performance and rock-solid versatility have made the Volkswagen T-Roc a popular, best-selling car over the course of the last four years. Without a direct predecessor, it became a key pillar in Volkswagen’s product programme overnight. Since its market launch in 2017, more than one million units of the compact SUV have been sold. Since the end of 2019, the model range has included an extremely sporty T-Roc R. Since the spring of 2020, the T-Roc Cabriolet has united the strengths of an SUV with the option of driving with the top down.
Sophisticated interior, sharpened exterior design
With a foam-backed surface and distinctive seams, the new dash panel brings modern and top-quality design highlights to the interior of the new T-Roc. The Infotainment display is now designed like a tablet and positioned on the dash panel in a line of sight with the instrument cluster behind the steering wheel. Depending on the equipment, the Infotainment display measures either 8.0 inches or 9.2 inches. The compact SUV comes as standard with a digital instrument cluster which is optionally available at a size of up to 10.25-inches as the Digital Cockpit Pro. The multifunction steering wheel, which is also part of the standard package, has a new design that contributes to the vehicle’s intuitive control.
High-quality fabric door trim is now standard. In the Style and R-Line equipment lines, door trim and arm rests are made of leatherette and boast designer seams, just like the head restraints. Another feature of the Style equipment line are the centre panels of the comfort seats in ArtVelours. In conjunction with the R-Line, top-of-the-range sports seats for both driver and front passenger (previously only to be found in the T-Roc R), as well as Nappa leather upholstery, are available as an option.
The lines of the new T-Roc exterior have been sharpened, making its unmistakable crossover design all the more striking. LED headlights and darkened rear lights are included as standard. IQ LIGHT with LED matrix headlights and an illuminated radiator grille strip, as well as tail light clusters with a new graphic structure and dynamic turn signal are available on request. Five new colours of exterior paint and newly designed 17- and 19-inch alloy wheels provide customers with even more opportunities to customise their car.
New levels of digitalisation and connectivity
The new VW T-Roc comes with the advanced assist systems Front Assist and Lane Assist as standard. Moreover, the new IQ.DRIVE Travel Assist and Predictive Cruise Control enable assisted steering, braking and acceleration at speeds of up to 210 km/h. By integrating the signals from the front camera, as well as GPS and map data, the vehicle control system can incorporate local speed limit information, town boundary signs, junctions and roundabouts.
The new Volkswagen T-Roc features the third generation of the Modular Infotainment Toolkit (MIB3), This enables the use of a variety of online-based functions and services. We Connect Plus services can be used free of charge in Europe for one year as part of the standard package This means that natural online voice control and streaming services are available.

Efficient TSI and TDI engines, 7-speed DSG and 4MOTION available as option
In the diverse drive portfolio of the new T-Roc there are three TSI and two TDI engines to choose from. Depending on the selected drive, a 6-speed manual gearbox or a 7-speed DSG powers the front axle. The 1.0-litre TSI three-cylinder engine has a maximum output of 81 kW (110 PS). The four-cylinder drives generate 110 kW (150 PS) as a 1.5-litre TSI and 140 kW (190 PS) as a 2.0-litre TSI. The range is rounded off with two 2.0-litre TDI four-cylinder engines offering an output of 85 kW (115 PS) and 110 kW (150 PS) respectively. As an alternative to front-wheel drive, 4MOTION all-wheel drive in conjunction with the 110 kW (150 PS) diesel engine ensures superior power transmission. The 2.0-litre TSI with 140 kW (190 PS) is combined with 4MOTION as standard.
Available in a basic version and three further pre-configured equipment lines
The Volkswagen T-Roc can be adapted even more easily to individual tastes, thanks to the reorganisation of equipment lines. In addition to the basic T-Roc version, the compact SUV is available throughout Europe in the newly configured versions Life, Style and R-Line. The Style equipment line boast two-tone paintwork, additional chrome elements, background lighting and convenience seats in the interior. The R-Line exterior design and equipment is now based to an even greater extent on the top model T-Roc R. The unique character manifests itself in many ways such as in a striking, sporty bumper design and multifunction sports steering wheel with touch control. In addition, the new T-Roc in conjunction with the R-Line equipment line has a sports package including driving profile selection, progressive steering and sports running gear. Moreover, customers can opt for a Black Style design package in conjunction with the Style and R-Line equipment lines. Its exterior and interior black design elements create a subtly sporty look.
The entry price for the new VW T-Roc with 1.0 TSI engine is 23,495 euros (incl. VAT).
The T-Roc R is powered by Volkswagen’s 300 PS, 2.0-litre, four-cylinder turbocharged engine, codenamed internally as ‘EA888’. The engine produces its peak torque of 400 Nm from as little as 2,000 rpm, while its 300 PS power peak arrives at 5,000 rpm, with the accessible torque and high power output attributable to the engine’s direct injection and turbocharging. WLTP-confirmed fuel economy for this engine rates it at 32.5 mpg on the combined cycle, with CO2 emissions of 197 g/km.
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) can be manually deactivated, while a Launch Control feature allows the driver to experience the T-Roc R’s full accelerative potential, with its 4.8-second 0 to 62 mph time. The system controls the clutch and gearbox so that the T-Roc R accelerates with the optimum wheel speed while benefiting from maximum drive torque. Like the Golf R, the T-Roc R also features a Race mode in its drive mode selection menu, with tweaks to the engine and gearbox to facilitate access to the engine’s 300 PS quickly and conveniently.

2022 Volkswagen T-Roc R – UK Version Interior
The T-Roc R gets Volkswagen’s swift and smooth-shifting 7-speed DSG transmission, specially adapted for its specific engine mapping, and the car’s power is delivered to all four wheels via the brand’s 4MOTION all-wheel drive system. The tried and tested Volkswagen 4MOTION all-wheel drive distributes the output of the powerful four-cylinder engine between the front and the rear wheels within milliseconds, as required and depending on the wheel slip. This effectively prevents the tyres from slipping. This results in the best-possible traction, including in adverse weather, such as in wet conditions or in snow.
Volkswagen’s smallest performance SUV also benefits from a high-performance braking system, previously featured on the Golf R as part of its optional Performance package. Standard-fit 17-inch brake discs are fitted at both the front and rear axles, offering superior and more performance-oriented stopping power than the regular T-Roc’s setup.
In addition to the bolstered brakes, the T-Roc R’s sports running gear sees the suspension lowered by 20 mm compared with the standard T-Roc, giving a lower centre of gravity and a sportier driving experience. Optionally available is Volkswagen’s Dynamic Chassis Control (DCC) system, which brings adaptive dampers to the package, offering further customisation to the drive experience through configurable driving modes, including a bespoke Individual mode which can be personalised to the driver’s preferences.
Design
From the outside, the T-Roc R is identifiable by its bespoke bumpers, with vertical daytime running lights complementing the T-Roc R’s sporty front end, with black fins incorporated into the air intake design also adding to the more assertive look. An R badge in the front grille also leaves no question as to the potency of the model, while standard-fit 19-inch Pretoria alloy wheels finished in Dark Graphite are a statement of the T-Roc R’s sporting intent, in front of the black-painted, R-badged brake callipers. The 19-inch wheels are a bonus for UK customers – markets outside of the UK feature 18-inch wheels as standard. LED headlights for dipped beam and main beam guarantee daylight-like illumination of the road surface and exemplary visibility of the vehicle
At the sides of the car, contrasting matt chrome effect door mirror caps are another R-specific feature, while the wheel arches have been extended outwards to give the car a wider stance, and to house the R model’s larger wheels.

At the rear, the T-Roc R features smoked LED-taillights, an understated but assertive boot spoiler, and the specially-designed rear bumper houses a R GmbH hallmark – four chrome-finished tailpipes. The optional performance titanium exhaust system made by exhaust specialist Akrapovič is distinguishable from the standard system by the quad-exhaust tips taller shape, matt finish and, naturally, their distinctive sound. The system also benefits from a 7 kg weight loss compared with the standard system.
Inside, the T-Roc R is subtly but comprehensively updated over its non-R stablemates, with gloss black trim in the dash, centre console and door panels. It also features R- badged trim in the door sill protectors, gear lever knob, instrument cluster and steering wheel. The T-Roc R’s seats are heavily bolstered to give maximum support when cornering, and are embroidered with the R logo.
