Being 122mm longer than the first generation VW T-Roc that made its global debut almost a decade ago, its safe to say that the second generation of the crossover SUV has grown up.
Volkswagen South Africa gave the local media a first glimpse of the new model at its annual product Indaba in Kariega last week. Despite the model on display being left-hand drive and no local specification or pricing available yet, the German carmaker did confirm that the new T-Roc will be rollout in the third quarter of the year.
Slotting in above the Taigo and underneath the Tiguan, the T-Roc combines two worlds. The comfort, high quality and innovative technology of the larger SUV yet in a compact SUV styling, says Gina Handley, Volkswagen Africa manager of product marketing.
