Positioned between the Taigo and Tiguan, the new T-Roc forms part of Volkswagen’s T-SUV family, alongside the T-Cross, Taigo, Tiguan, Tayron and Touareg.
The new model is 122mm longer than its predecessor, with a 28mm longer wheelbase contributing to increased interior space and a more commanding road presence.

The new T-Roc adopts a more sculpted design, with elongated proportions, a wider-looking stance and stronger rear shoulders.
At the front, LED technology is combined with a continuous light strip and illuminated Volkswagen logo. Higher derivatives feature IQ.Light LED Matrix headlights.
The rear features two-part LED combination lamps connected by a continuous illuminated light strip, as well as an illuminated Volkswagen logo on higher derivatives.
The interior has been completely redesigned around a driver-focused layout, with a new Digital Cockpit and infotainment systems available in 10.3-inch and 12.9-inch formats, depending on specification.
A new Drive Experience Dial provides access to driving profiles and infotainment functions, while a multifunction gear selector features an integrated OLED display.
