This SUV gets a black roof as standard and it is available in six colour options, which include - kurkuma yellow, energetic orange, ravenna blue, indium grey, pure white and deep black.

What’s good about it?

The Volkswagen T-Roc is powered by a 1.5-litre TSI EVO with ACT petrol engine which generates 148bhp of power at 5,000-6,000rpm and 250Nm of torque at 1,500-3,500rpm. This four-cylinder engine comes mated to the seven-speed DSG transmission with paddle shift. The Active Cylinder Technology or ACT senses the driving pattern and accordingly activates or deactivates two cylinders out of four resulting in reduced fuel consumption. The switch between two to four cylinders and vice versa happens super-fast, faster than a blink of the eye. The safety feature list include – six airbags, anti-skid regulation, park distance control front and rear, LED DRLs, auto hold, auto-dimming IRVM, rear-view camera, front fog lamp with cornering function, tyre pressure monitoring system and more. Here below are the reasons why you should buy the newly launched Volkswagen T-Roc. 

What’s not so good?

Introduced as a CBU in India, the Volkswagen T-Roc commands a premium pricing as compared to the other SUVs in this segment. The SUV has been launched at an introductory price of Rs 19.99 lakhs, which is expected to rise post the commencement of T-Roc deliveries in India in mid-April 2020.
