The enhanced Volkswagen T-Roc is available to pre-order today with Arnold Clark.

Over a million T-Roc units have been sold worldwide, but an array of enhancements have been added to further bolster the universal appeal of the brand's popular compact SUV.

Among the improvements, Volkswagen has given the T-Roc a sharp new look, applied an even greater level of luxury to the interior, and placed a sharper focus on technology.

The T-Roc has entered the second phase of its life cycle, with enhancements right across the model family. Particular attention has been paid to the model’s interior, which benefits from both a redesigned dashboard and the use of even higher-grade materials throughout.

The T-Roc is available in three specifications – entry-level ‘Life’, luxury and comfort-focused ‘Style’, and sportily styled and driver-focused ‘R-Line’ – as seen on a number of other Volkswagen models. Even the Life benefits from LED headlights; an 8.0-inch Digital Cockpit; wireless App Connect through its 8.0-inch Ready 2 Discover infotainment system; a suite of driver assistance systems, including lane assist, adaptive cruise control and front assist; and 16-inch ‘Chester’ alloy wheels, black roof rails and interior ambient lighting.

The T-Roc Style focuses on comfort and technology, bolstering the T-Roc Life’s equipment package with the larger Digital Cockpit Pro; Discover Media navigation infotainment system; sports comfort seats finished in ArtVelours microfleece; privacy glass from the B-pillar backwards; and LED ‘Plus’ headlights with different light modes for poor weather.

Thinking of making the switch to electric?

From the outside, a bespoke rear bumper and 17-inch ‘Johannesburg’ alloy wheels mark out the Style from the rest of the new T-Roc range.

The Style is predicted to be the top-selling trim in the model range, with more than one in three T-Roc customers expected to opt for this model.

With R-Line specific body styling, 17-inch ‘Valencia’ alloy wheels, sports suspension, silver roof rails and an interior featuring sportier elements, such as a black roof lining and R-Line badging, and gloss black design trim in the dashboard, the T-Roc R-Line lives up to its billing as a sportier alternative to the Life and Style versions.

Meanwhile, the T-Roc Cabriolet, the latest in the long history of Volkswagen soft-tops, returns with all-round appeal, blending its SUV utility and wind-in-the-hair feel-good factor, with the many enhancements applied to its five-door, hard-top sibling.

Nine engine and gearbox options are available across the standard T-Roc range, with both three- and four-cylinder units, petrol and diesel options, six-speed manual and seven-speed DSG variants, and power ranging from frugal 110 PS units, to a highly capable 190 PS TSI. The extra ability of Volkswagen’s acclaimed 4MOTION all-wheel drive system is available on the highest-powered models – the 150 PS TDI, and 190 PS TSI.

Rod McLeod, Director of Volkswagen UK, believes the improvements will help cement the T-Roc's position as one of the most popular cars in the UK.

He added: 'The T-Roc embodies numerous qualities that Volkswagen customers expect, such as space, driveability, style, personalisation, practicality, value, and premium quality.

'It’s small wonder then that the T-Roc has become one of the best-selling models in the Volkswagen range – and these comprehensive enhancements are set to maintain its considerable popularity with UK buyers.'
