Volkswagen is officially ending production of the compact T-Roc R for the Australian market. Assembly will stop before the start of the 2026 model year, and the remaining stock is expected to last only a few months. The move isn’t surprising: in August 2025 the company unveiled the second-generation T-Roc, with the performance version scheduled to arrive later.The current T-Roc R uses a 2.0-litre turbocharged engine rated at 221 kW (300 hp) and 400 Nm. It is paired with a seven-speed DSG dual-clutch transmission and all-wheel drive. According to reports, the next generation is set to receive the same unit as the Golf R Mk8.5, where output reaches 245 kW and 420 Nm.To give the model a proper send-off, the brand has released a limited T-Roc R Wolfsburg Edition with a black styling package and an Akrapovic exhaust system. Prices for remaining cars start at 65,990 Australian dollars including promotions. As farewells go, this one feels well-judged.The regular T-Roc line—CityLife, Style and R-Line—remains on sale for now, while Volkswagen readies the new generation for its European debut. Australian deliveries are expected to follow, and the second-generation T-Roc R is still in testing. The pacing feels sensible, keeping interest high without overpromising.
