Launched in March this year, Volkswagen T-Roc has been a tremendous success for the German carmaker. We say it because despite being a CBU, Volkswagen has managed to sell all the units of the T-Roc. The car directly rivals to the Skoda Karoq and higher variants of the Jeep Compass.
The T-Roc was only available in a single variant with a sole 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine with a 7-speed DSG gearbox. This motor churns out 148 bhp at 5,000-6,000 rpm with a peak torque of 250 Nm at 1,500-3,000 rpm.
Sharing some details about this car then on the inside it came with all-black interiors with a larger 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment unit. It offered both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. It also gets virtual cockpit which is better than the top-spec variants of the Hyundai Creta and Kia Seltos.

Being a CBU unit, the T-Roc comes with supreme performance and all the safety aids.
Currently, Volkswagen line-up sticks with the Polo, Vento and Tiguan Allspace. Another interesting piece of news is for 2021 is that Volkswagen is also planning to bring on the Taigun. It will host an array of features and a unique design.
