2025 Volkswagen T-Roc Black Edition Plus

• The 2025 Volkswagen T-Roc Black Edition Plus introduces enhanced styling with blacked-out elements and premium features.

• Equipped with a 1.5L TSI engine delivering 150 PS, available with manual or DSG transmission.

• Priced from £36,515 in the UK, offering added value over the R-Line trim.

Black Edition Styling: Subtle, But Striking

The T-Roc’s already got a clean, upright silhouette — not too fussy, not too soft. For 2025, the Black Edition Plus takes that shape and gives it attitude.

Blacked-out 19-inch Misano alloys, gloss black roof, mirror caps, window surrounds, even the badging — it’s a monochrome theme done right. There’s also privacy glass out back and just enough dark trim to make it feel sportier without being overstyled.

It’s familiar, but the details help it stand out — especially if you’re tired of chrome.

Interior: Premium Touches, Everyday Practicality

Step inside and the black theme continues. You get a black headliner, gloss deep iron dash inlays, and heated front seats. The materials feel dialed up from the base trims — not luxury-level, but enough to justify the price jump.

A panoramic sunroof is standard, which helps brighten the otherwise dark cabin, and there’s also a rearview camera, plus dual-zone climate and keyless access.

It's not trying to be flashy inside, just well put together and usefully equipped.

Powertrain: Efficient and Familiar

Power comes from VW’s 1.5L TSI petrol, good for 150 PS. That’s paired to either a 6-speed manual or a 7-speed DSG, depending on how you spec it.

It’s not a rocket ship, but it’s quiet, smooth, and solid enough for daily driving. Fuel economy figures haven’t drastically changed, and for this kind of urban crossover, performance isn’t the headline — consistency is.

Tech and Safety: Everything You Need

The T-Roc Black Edition Plus carries all the key safety and driver assistance features from the base model and more.

You get adaptive cruise control, front and rear parking sensors, and keyless entry. The Easy Open package is included too — meaning an electrically operated tailgate, helpful for when your hands are full.

No massive leaps in tech here, but the basics are done well.

Market Context: Better Value Than It Looks

Volkswagen’s pitch is clear: you get £3,225 worth of extra features, but the starting price stays at £36,515, same as the R-Line.

That puts it in line with rivals like the Ford Puma ST-Line X, Peugeot 2008 GT, and upper trims of the Nissan Juke. But the added kit and design tweaks make it a sharper deal — especially if you’re looking for something compact, premium-feeling, and a little more individual.

Call it a style play with substance. And that’s a combo that still works.
