Overview

  • Public debut is slated for the IAA in Munich, with European sales starting in November after order books open.
  • The crossover grows by 12 centimeters to 4.37 meters with a 2.63‑meter wheelbase and a 465‑liter boot.
  • A shift to the MQB Evo platform brings IQ.Light matrix LEDs, larger 10.4‑ or 12.9‑inch infotainment, optional head‑up display, and improved materials with restored steering‑wheel buttons.
  • Launch engines are 1.5‑liter eTSI mild‑hybrid petrols with 116 or 150 PS paired to a 7‑speed DSG, as manuals and diesels drop from the range.
  • Full hybrids are due from 2026 with 136 or 170 PS, pricing targets about €30,000 for the entry model, and an all‑electric T‑Roc remains an unconfirmed rumor for later in the decade.
