The Volkswagen T-Roc is a subcompact crossover SUV manufactured by German automaker Volkswagen. Its main rivals are the Nissan Juke, Renault Captur, Dacia/Renault Duster, Hyundai Kona, Citroen C3 Aircross, Opel Crossland X, Mazda CX-3, Ford Ecosport, Toyota C-HR and the Honda HR-V. The T-Roc is slotted below the Tiguan, and above the slightly smaller T-Cross.[3]
The T-Roc was unveiled as a concept car at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show. It was designed to be an offroader, with an aggressive design and AWD. Originally, it was said that the T-Roc was not going to be produced, and that instead it would be used to test out concepts for future Volkswagen SUVs. They later said that a car related to the T-Roc may reach production.
Volkswagen says that the car is relatively light because of the way it is constructed.[4][5]
The T-Roc made its worldwide debut in Italy on August 23, 2017. It was introduced as Volkswagen's fourth SUV.[6] There is a 12.3 inch screen where the driver can switch driving modes and access the entertainment system. The gauges are also replaced by an information screen that contains digital gauges.
European market cars are assembled in the Portuguese plant on the edge of Setubal, that was originally built for the Volkswagen Sharan/Ford Galaxy joint venture. Chinese market cars are assembled at the FAW-Volkswagen joint-venture plant in Foshan.[7]
The T-Roc will not be launched in North America, Mexico, Argentina and Russia, as they launch yet another subcompact SUV, the Tharu, as the officials for Volkswagen said that the T-Roc is better suited to Europe's tastes. The T-Roc is not sold in many CIS countries, India, Middle East and North Africa (same case as the Touran, as well as the Sharan MPVs)
The T-Roc is also not sold in Japan as well as in Southeast Asia. The T-Roc was sold in New Zealand in limited numbers. The Volkswagen T-Roc is being released in Turkey since the beginning of 2019, and it will be sold in South Korea and India by the first quarter of 2020. In addition, the T-Roc will be sold in South Africa by the third quarter of 2020.
The T-Roc was showcased in India at the 2020 Auto Expo and was launched in the country in March 2020.[8]
The T-Roc Cabriolet was launched in Germany in April 2020; it is available in Style and R-Line variants.[9]
