Volkswagen has opened orders for the second-generation T-Roc in the UK, with prices starting from £31,620 (approximately €36,420). The model has undergone a more extensive transformation than typical for a generational change: it has grown noticeably larger, gained a modern cabin architecture, new technology, and retains the distinctive styling that has made it popular since 2017.The T-Roc's exterior has been reimagined without losing its recognizable proportions. The crossover is 12.2 centimetres longer, slightly wider and taller, with a more dynamic silhouette thanks to a redesigned rear end and the familiar C-pillar "hook." For the first time, 20-inch wheels are available, and the colour palette has expanded to include vibrant shades like Canary Yellow and Celestial Blue. The lighting is fully updated: base versions feature new LED headlights, while IQ.LIGHT variants get an illuminated logo and a continuous light strip across the body width.Inside, the T-Roc feels almost like a scaled-down Tiguan. Materials are softer and more pleasant to the touch, the dashboard has a more horizontal architecture, and decorative lighting enhances the cabin's airy feel. The main visual focal point is the 12.9-inch infotainment screen, now integrated into the new panel without protruding bezels.A head-up display is offered for the first time on the model, and the digital instrument cluster now has a 10-inch diagonal in trims from Style upwards. The centre console has been redesigned to give the interior a more lounge-like feel, while optional massage seats and improved noise insulation raise the T-Roc above the segment's usual standards. Boot space has increased to 475 litres—30 more than before.Technically, the new model is built on the MQB evo platform, shared with the Tiguan and Chinese Tayron. This has enabled the integration of more modern electronics and an expanded suite of driver assists. Control of driving profiles, suspension settings, and the infotainment system is now unified in a single Driving Experience Control interface. A new feature is a 50-metre automated parking memory that can be controlled via smartphone, and the exit warning system monitors approaching cyclists and vehicles.At launch, UK buyers can choose only one powertrain type: the 1.5-litre petrol eTSI mild hybrid, available with 116 or 150 horsepower. Both are paired with a seven-speed DSG and offer front-wheel drive only. Later, the range will be expanded with all-new hybrid systems developed specifically for the second-generation T-Roc.
