DEVELOPED completely from scratch, the second generation of the Volkswagen T-Roc will be launched later in 2025.

With a newly designed cockpit, an infotainment screen measuring up to 13 inches and background lighting that creates a lounge-like atmosphere.

In addition, the T-Roc offers more space in the interior and luggage compartment.

New assist systems and technologies from higher vehicle classes complete the model. Examples include Travel Assist and the driving experience control.

The launch is scheduled for November with prices starting at around £26,500 euros for the 1.5 eTSI with 115ps.

The new T-Roc retains the characteristic T-Roc DNA with the coupe-like rear end and makes the most of the advantages of 12 cm more overall length compared with the predecessor model.

New LED headlights at the front are standard with IQ.LIGHT LED matrix headlights available as an option and are connected to the white illuminated Volkswagen logo by a narrow light strip.

The rear end of the new T-Roc also features a continuous LED crossbar with a red illuminated Volkswagen logo.

The interior has been significantly improved in quality with soft surfaces and innovative technologies. The dash panel is now upholstered in a newly developed fabric, which creates a lounge-style atmosphere together with the background lighting.

The new T-Roc adopts numerous features from the larger Tiguan and Tayron models, such as the latest stage of the driving experience control, which can be used to select driving profiles and control the volume, among other things.

A new feature in the T-Roc is also the optional windscreen head-up display, which projects important information such as speed or navigation pictograms directly on to the windscreen in front of the driver.

The boot volume increases by 30 litres to 475 litres when loaded up to the height of the rear seat backrests.

For the launch, there are two 48V mild hybrid drives (1.5 eTSI) with 116 PSand 150ps. They will be followed by two full hybrid drive systems that have been developed entirely from scratch.

All hybrids feature a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox.

Full prices and specification for the new T-Roc in the UK will be confirmed soon.

Last year, about 292,000 new vehicle buyers across Europe opted for the compact all-rounder, which is produced at the Portuguese plant in Palmela near Lisbon.

A total of more than two million units have been sold to date which makes the T-Roc the world's most successful SUV from Volkswagen after the Tiguan.
