Volkswagen T-Roc pricing announced
With the rather exciting news that Volkswagen will be completing its local SUV line-up with the introduction of the T-Roc in November of this year, we have also received the official pricing for the newcomer ahead of its introduction.
The aptly named Volkswagen “T-SUV” range will soon consist of the T-Cross, T-Roc, Tiguan, Tiguan Allspace and the Touareg. The T-Roc is set to slow in between the T-Cross and the Tiguan from both a pricing and a dimensions perspective, offering similar practicality to the highly anticipated Golf 8, which is set to go on sale early in 2021.
The T-Roc range will consist of three derivatives, a 1.4 TSI 110kW Design model, a 2.0 TSI 140kW Design derivative with 4Motion and the slick DSG gearbox as well as the range-topping 2.0 TSI 140kW R-Line which also features 4Motion and the DSG gearbox.

Yes, the Volkswagen T-Roc represents solid value in South Africa's competitive compact SUV market. The entry-level 1.4 TSI Design at R489,400 offers the best bang for your buck, delivering adequate performance and practicality without breaking the bank. If you need all-wheel drive capability, the 2.0 TSI 4Motion Design at R548,300 is worth the extra spend over the range-topping R-Line unless you really want the sporty styling extras. The T-Roc fills the gap perfectly between Volkswagen's smaller T-Cross and larger Tiguan, making it an excellent choice for buyers who want Golf-like practicality with SUV versatility.
