Production Version Volkswagen T-Roc SUV Teased In Video

The T-Roc is part of Volkswagen's onslaught of SUVs that are going to hit the global markets and from what we've been told 19 SUVs are expected to be added to the portfolio by 2020. Of course, given the current trend of SUVs in India, we will get our share of them as well and the T-Roc might be one among them.

Volkswagen T-ROC

Based on the Modular Transverse Matrix (MQB) platform, the two-door concept that debuted two years ago featured a new design line, LED headlights, and interior style, and came loaded with provisions such as front and rear cameras. The production model of the new Golf-based SUV will be a five-door car that will sport styling elements typical to the German carmaker. Inside, the Volkswagen T-ROC will borrow its dashboard and provisions such as an infotainment system with a 9.2-inch touchscreen, speech and gesture control, etc. from the new Volkswagen Golf.

The new Volkswagen Golf-based SUV, which will be positioned below the Tiguan SUV, will receive a myriad of petrol and engine options, including 113bhp 1.0-litre turbocharged petrol, 1.5-litre TSI Evo petrol, and 1.6-litre & 2.0-litre diesel engines. Likely to be offered with front- and four-wheel drive, the VW T-ROC's choice of gearboxes will include a six-speed manual and seven-speed DSG automatic. With that said, there are other Volkswagen T-ROC models in the pipeline too - T-ROC GTE (plug-in hybrid) and e-T-ROC (all-electric).
