Auto Expo 2020: T-Roc breaks cover

• T-Roc positioned as a stylish mid-sized SUV

• Expected to be brought in as an import

• Will be powered by 1.5-litre TSI engine

• Full suite of safety features expected

After the global unveil of the Taigun, Volkswagen took the wraps off the T-Roc that will form a part of its SUV offensive that includes four new launches in the next two years. The T-Roc is expected to be brought in as an import and could be launched in the second half of 2020.

Underpinned by the group’s MQB platform, the T-Roc sits below the Tiguan in VW’s line-up. It is marketed internationally as a stylish SUV and is decidedly high on the style quotient with a coupe-like form, large wheel arches, high bonnet, a contrast roof and a wide stance. The LED headlamps integrated with the grille along with the DRLs positioned lower down add to the appeal as well.

The T-Roc is expected to be available with the solitary engine option of a 1.5-litre, four-cylinder, turbo-petrol engine mated to a 7-speed, dual-clutch automatic transmission producing 148bhp and 340Nm of torque.
