After making a debut at the 2020 Auto Expo, the T-Roc officially becomes the second model in VW India's current SUV product portfolio.
Just days after launching the 7-seater Tiguan Allspace, Volkswagen has today launched the all-new T-Roc mid-size SUV in India, at an introductory price of ₹19.99 lakh (ex-showroom, pan-India). The T-Roc sits just below the Tiguan Allspace in the product line-up and on this price point, it rivals the Jeep Compass, new Hyundai Tucson (launch soon) and the upcoming Skoda Karoq as well. This also gives us a good idea of how Skoda will price the Karoq in India.
Launched as a CBU (single variant), the T-Roc is built on VW's MQB platform. It's powered by a 1.5-litre TSI EVO petrol motor (148bhp & 250Nm) that's paired to a 7-speed DSG gearbox. What's more, since VW has not upgraded its diesel engines to meet the BS-VI norms (yet), the TSI motor is the only option on offer with the T-Roc.
In terms of features, the T-Roc is kitted with a panoramic sunroof, all-LED lighting, 17-inch 'Mayfield' dual-tone diamond-cut alloy wheels, a fully-digital instrument cluster (Active Information Display), paddle shifters, keyless entry, heated front seats, 'Vienna' leather upholstery, an 8-inch infotainment touchscreen and heat insulation glass.
The list of safety features and driving aids on the T-Roc is even longer, comprising of features like Hill-Start Assist, an electromechanical parking brake, engine start/stop with regenerative braking, six airbags, front & rear disc brakes, ABS with EBD, TPMS, Electronic Stability Control (ESC) along with front & rear parking sensors with a rear-view camera.
There are six colour options to choose from - Kurkuma Yellow, Energetic Orange, Ravenna Blue, Indium Grey, Pure White, and Deep Black.

Nothing about AWD. Yes or no?
Hi Jyoti, thanks for writing in. The 1.5 TSI version of the T-ROC on sale in India does not come with AWD. It's an FWD configuration. The 2.0 TSI version of the T-ROC, sold in the international markets, does offer 4MOTION AWD.
