The second-generation Volkswagen T-Roc was presented in August 2025 and is built on the same MQB Evo platform as the Golf Mk8.5, growing to 4,373 mm long, 1,828 mm wide and 1,562 mm tall on a 2,631 mm wheelbase, around 12 cm longer than its predecessor. Volkswagen positions it as the first model line in its range built exclusively around hybrid powertrains rather than offering a non-hybrid entry engine.
The launch range opens with a 1.5-litre eTSI mild hybrid in 116 hp and 150 hp states of tune, both front-wheel drive, joined later by a 204 hp 2.0-litre eTSI mild hybrid with 4MOTION all-wheel drive. Alongside the mild hybrids, two 1.5-litre full-hybrid variants with 136 hp and 170 hp add electric-only running at low speed, front-wheel drive only. A T-Roc R performance version developed by Volkswagen R is due to follow the initial lineup.
Inside, the cabin carries over Volkswagen’s current digital cockpit layout with a configurable driver display and a central touchscreen, alongside the illuminated dashboard trim and physical shortcut buttons Volkswagen reintroduced after criticism of the previous generation’s touch-slider controls.
UK pricing opens at £31,620 for the 116 hp Life mild hybrid and rises to £38,920 for the 150 hp R-Line, before the 4MOTION and R versions are added to the range.
