Volkswagen Unveils Second-Generation T-Roc With 48-Volt Mild-Hybrids From €30,845

The launch emphasizes mild-hybrid powertrains, with fuller hybrid and all-wheel versions to follow.

Overview

  • Early drives describe a familiar, more comfortable T-Roc that feels better damped and more polished without a radical redesign.
  • The compact SUV now measures 4.37 meters in length with a wheelbase stretched by 28 millimeters, gaining rear space and adding LED light bars with an illuminated VW logo.
  • At launch, two 1.5 eTSI mild-hybrid petrol options deliver 116 PS or 150 PS, each paired with a 7-speed DSG and front-wheel drive, with diesels and manual gearboxes dropped.
  • Interior upgrades include higher-quality materials, revised door hardware and physical steering-wheel buttons, plus 10.4- or 12.9-inch infotainment and an optional head-up display with a new rotary controller.
  • Sales begin in November 2025 with prices up roughly 10% from the predecessor, and VW plans to add full hybrids, 4Motion all-wheel-drive variants and a stronger 2.0 TSI later.
