  • The redesigned compact SUV grows by 12 cm with a 30‑litre larger boot (475 litres) and introduces new LED light signatures including a front light strip and full‑width rear bar.
  • Built on the MQB evo platform, it adds higher‑class driver aids such as Travel Assist and Park Assist Pro, plus features like an optional windscreen head‑up display.
  • Launch engines are 1.5‑litre 48V mild‑hybrid eTSI units with 116 PS or 150 PS, front‑wheel drive and a 7‑speed dual‑clutch gearbox; full‑hybrid versions, a 2.0‑litre AWD model and a future T‑Roc R are confirmed to follow.
  • The cabin upgrades include a fabric‑wrapped dash, ambient lighting and up to a 13‑inch MIB4 infotainment system; a ChatGPT‑based voice assistant is reported by reviewers.
  • Prices in Germany start at €30,845 for the 1.5 eTSI, and Volkswagen notes the T‑Roc has surpassed two million sales since 2017, with leadership signaling future combustion projects will depend on market conditions.
