Overview

• Volkswagen released new teaser images on its social channels that show a familiar T‑Roc silhouette with a smoother front end and updated lighting.
• CEO Thomas Schäfer told Auto Express the next T‑Roc will add a full-hybrid (HEV) powertrain alongside existing mild-hybrid and plug-in hybrid choices to suit markets where HEVs are in demand.
• The model is expected to use the MQB evo platform, with reporting indicating a likely 1.5‑litre petrol base engine and a possible 2.0‑litre diesel among the options.
• A public reveal is slated for the IAA Mobility show in Munich in early September, with final specifications, pricing and any high-performance variant still unconfirmed.
• Some outlets report the SUV could debut as an EV, a full hybrid or both, and suggest it may be the first Volkswagen to use the brand’s new full-hybrid system, though the full lineup has not been detailed.
