VW T-Roc Arrives With Stylish Looks, Range of Turbo Engines

The VW T-Roc compact crossover has made its official debut, marking the German brand’s long awaited foray into the compact crossover segment.

If you ask us, the production T-Roc is one handsome looking crossover. The front is highlighted by the wide radiator grille, which is quickly becoming a staple of VW crossovers, while the available two-tone paint lends to the sporty overall look. Plastic body cladding on the bumpers, wheel arches, and rocker panels protects the bodywork and gives the T-Roc some off-road credentials as well.

The interior will be a familiar place for anyone who has been in a new VW and comes well-equipped with a 6.5-inch touchscreen display as standard. A larger 8-inch display is available as an option, as is VW’s 11.7-inch Digital Cockpit LCD instrument display. Luggage space with all five seats occupied sits at 445 liters but grows to 1,290 liters with the rear seats folded down. Hardly any other vehicle in this segment is as spacious, claims VW.

A range of high-tech safety systems are standard as well, such as Front Assist monitoring, City Emergency Braking, Pedestrian Monitoring, Automatic Post-Collision Braking and Lane Assist. Optional safety systems include adaptive cruise, a rear view camera, Rear Traffic Alert, Blind Spot Monitor, Park Assist, Traffic Jam Assist and Emergency Assist.

VW is offering three turbocharged gasoline engines and three diesel engines in the T-Roc in Europe ranging in output from 115 to 190 horsepower. Front-wheel drive and a manual gearbox are standard, but the range-topping 190 hp engines will be offered with 4Motion all-wheel drive and VW’s 7-speed dual-clutch DSG gearbox.

VW says the T-Roc will fall into “the €20,000 class” when it goes on sale in Europe this November. VW has no official plans to bring it to North America, but a report from earlier in the year indicated the automaker would bring it stateside for 2019. For now, however, this stylish little crossover remains forbidden fruit.

2018 Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster Review

“Supercars just don’t excite me anymore.” These words, spoken to me over a month ago by another journalist, friend, and (so-called) enthusiast were echoing in my head for far too long, but they’ve finally been drowned out. Drowned out by the wail of a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine mounted in the middle of the new Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster. My friend’s point is that back in the good old days, there was a crop of supercars that captured the imagination with amazing style, sounds, performance, and more. Today, it seems like everything is capable of supercar performance, with large luxury sedans outdoing some of the best and most dedicated teams of car nuts, while former pillars of automotive excellence are suddenly pumping out family-friendly SUVs. Beyond that, another league of supercars, dubbed hypercars have cropped up with hybrid gas-electric powertrains that make magical things happen quickly, but at the cost of the acoustic drama, visual flair, and engag...

PZM 73rd Rally Poland Kicks Off

The WRC is in Poland and after only one stage there are three Volkswagens in the top five. Today’s special stage at the Mikolajki Arena is the first stage, but the rally doesn’t begin in earnest until Friday. Today’s super special stage was less than two minutes long, and less than a second separates the top five drivers. Hyundai Motorsport’s Thierry Neuville tops the charts today, followed closely by Volkswagen’s Andreas Mikkelsen. Sebastien Ogier and Jari-Matti Latvala are in fourth and fifth, respectively. Expect Ogier to climb the rankings, though. Not only did he win the rally last year, he has won every year since 2013. And with rain expected on Friday, Ogier’s chances are even better. “If it’s a bit wet then I hope I can make some good times,” said Ogier earlier today. “The best would be some good rain during the night so it’s a damp surface and then not too bad weather during the day so specators can enjoy the show without being too wet.” If it is dry, though, speed is on ...
