• Launch models use a 1.5‑litre turbo petrol with 48‑volt mild‑hybrid tech in two outputs, roughly 114bhp or 148bhp, paired to a seven‑speed automatic and front‑wheel drive.
• Volkswagen confirms full‑hybrid variants for 2026 with a claimed 15% efficiency gain and CO2 near 100 g/km, plus forthcoming all‑wheel‑drive 2.0‑litre options and a high‑performance T‑Roc R.
• The new T‑Roc grows to 4,373 mm in length with a wheelbase stretch of 28 mm and a stated 0.29 drag coefficient, and it adds LED light bars with illuminated VW badges front and rear.
• Interior updates include Volkswagen’s MIB4 system with a ChatGPT‑based voice assistant, a digital instrument cluster, larger central displays up to 12.9 inches, and an available head‑up display.
• Pre‑bookings opened in Germany with a reported €30,845 base price and a November market launch, while broader pricing and some specifications, including exact boot capacity, remain inconsistent across reports.
