2025 VW T‑Roc Debuts Larger, Tech‑Richer and Mild‑Hybrid Only, Starting at €30,845

The launch underscores VW’s incremental electrification strategy with a renewed focus on perceived quality.

Overview

  • The configurator lists a €30,845 entry for the 115 PS 1.5‑liter 48‑V mild‑hybrid, joined by a 150 PS version, both with 7‑speed DSG and front‑wheel drive, with diesel and non‑electrified petrols dropped.
  • Length grows to 4,373 mm and wheelbase to 2,631 mm, with reports citing a 465‑liter boot and one comparison listing 475 liters, highlighting a minor data discrepancy.
  • The cabin steps up with a padded fabric upper dash, broader soft‑touch coverage, MIB4 infotainment up to 12.9 inches, optional head‑up display, physical steering‑wheel buttons and AI voice assistance.
  • VW’s roadmap adds two full hybrids in 2026 and a 204 PS 2.0‑liter AWD, with an R variant slated by 2027 according to current guidance.
  • Positioned as a value‑oriented alternative to the Cupra Formentor, the T‑Roc undercuts it on price and offers some assistance features as standard, such as a lane‑change assistant and available remote‑park.
