With its functionality dynamic handling and technology, the T-Roc embodies all good Volkswagen qualities. It marks a milestone in our SUV offensive.”
The SUV market within the automotive industry is doing incredibly well, particularly the compact segment, which expert’s estimate will grow twice its current size over the next decade. For this reason, Volkswagen is introducing the T-Roc as its smaller SUV model below the

On the outside, the snappy and sharp lines define the T-Roc’s style. At the front of the SUV there is a wide radiator grille unit with integrated dual headlights with a repositioned light signature, ensuring the T-Roc is distinguishable even at night. Running from the A-pillars across the side roof line to the C-pillar is a striking chrome element, emphasising the elongated silhouette of the model in a way that is reminiscent of a coupe. Protecting the bodywork from off-road adventures and rough terrain is an all-round, dark plastic trim around the wheel arches, side sills and the front and rear of the vehicle.
