The Volkswagen T-Roc will come to India via the CBU route in a single loaded trim and is expected to be priced around Rs 23 lakhs with a 150bhp 1.5 liter turbo-petrol engine.
Volkswagen had a really strong presence at the 2020 Auto Expo with their slew of SUVs. They showcased the Taigun, the T-Roc and the Tiguan AllSpace and all of these are going to make it to Indian roads pretty soon. We have already reported to you with the details of the Taigun and Tiguan AllSpace and now we have some on the T-Roc as well. The Volkswagen T-Roc is a mid-size SUV and it will be one of the first ones to reach dealerships with its launch slated to take place in the coming months in India.
The Volkswagen T-Roc will be brought to India as a Completely Built Unit (CBU), under the 2,500 cars import rule. On account of being a CBU, it will be somewhat expensive but Volkswagen intends to position the T-Roc in India as a premium offering. In fact, Volkswagen dealers have already started taking bookings for the T-Roc SUV for a token amount of Rs 25,000.
The T-Roc in India will be available in a single, full-loaded variant. It will thus come pretty well loaded in its single trim with full-LED headlamps and tail-lamps, dual-tone alloy wheels, and front and rear parking sensors. On the interiors, the SUV will have features such as a digital instrument cluster, dual-zone automatic climate control, an 8.0-inch touchscreen, a panoramic sunroof and ‘Vienna’ leather seats. Standard safety kit includes six airbags, ABS with EBD, ESC, a tyre pressure monitoring system and a parking camera.

The engine will come mated to 7-speed, dual-clutch automatic transmission as standard.
