Johannesburg, 21 June 2022 – The new and refreshed
Volkswagen T-Roc will go on sale in South Africa at the end of July 2022.
The combination of a progressive look, sporty performance and solid versatility have made the
T-Roc a popular compact
SUV in the local market. The
T-Roc, which is positioned between the recently launched
Taigo and the
Tiguan, has sold 4 490 units in
South Africa since its market introduction in 2020.
A refreshed exterior defines the unmistakable appearance of the new
Volkswagen T-Roc. Innovative technology from higher vehicle classes has now been integrated into the compact
SUV model range. The new
T-Roc range now comes standard with
LED headlights and taillights.
IQ.Light LED matrix headlights, which are available in the Touareg, Tiguan, Golf, Taigo and Polo, are available as an optional feature as well as
IQ.Drive assistance systems such as
Travel Assist. The interior has also been refined with high-quality materials, a re- designed infotainment display as well as the
Digital Cockpit as standard.
Sophisticated interior, sharpened exterior design
The lines of the new
Volkswagen T-Roc exterior have been sharpened, making its unmistakable crossover design more striking.
LED headlights and darkened rear lights are included as standard.
IQ.LIGHT LED matrix headlights and an illuminated radiator grille strip, as well as tail light clusters with a new graphic structure and dynamic turn signal are available as optional features in the new
T-Roc. Five new exterior paint colours (which can be combined with a white, black or Indium grey roof) and newly designed 17 and 19- inch alloy wheels provide customers with even more options to customise their car.
With a soft touch dash surface and distinctive seams, the new dash panel brings modern and top-quality design highlights to the interior of the new
Volkswagen T-Roc. The 8.0-inch infotainment display is designed like a tablet and positioned on the dash panel in line of sight with the instrument cluster behind the steering wheel. The new
T-Roc comes standard with the Digital Cockpit instrument cluster in the Design equipment line and the Digital Cockpit Pro in the R-Line equipment line.

LED segments of the high-tech light system provide better light distribution by specific activation and deactivation depending on the driving situation.
