VOLKSWAGEN has expanded its SUV line-up with the arrival of a new turbodiesel engine option in the T-Roc compact crossover model.

When T-Roc hit UK streets at the turn of the year, two petrol engines were available, but this new engine option means the range now comprises three petrol and two diesel units.

The new 1.6-litre TDI is available with a six-speed gearbox and develops 115ps, its torque topping out at 250Nm. CO2 emissions are 115g/km.

In the T-Roc, this 1.6-litre TDI is offered with front-wheel drive while the existing, more powerful 2.0-litre TDI is currently available with 4MOTION four-wheel drive.

T-Roc prices start at £18,995 and every car comes with an eight-inch colour touchscreen plus VW's Composition Media infotainment system as standard.
