Frankfurt: T-Roc Gets R-Line Trim

Joining the “Sport” and “Style” trims, Volkswagen showed the “R-Line” trim package at the T-Roc’s motor show premiere earlier today at the Frankfurt motor show.

Unlike the other colorful and funky trim packages, the R-Line embraces the dark, with a black textured diffuser, a dark red LED tail light cluster, a black textured air intake, and body-colored bumpers and door add-ons.

The dark theme continues on the wheels, which can either be 18-inch Sebrings finished in Grey Metallic or 19-inch Suzukas, finished in Dark Graphite.

Inside, meanwhile, the roof is lined in black textile, the pedal caps are made of stainless steel, and the seats are finished in “Carbon Flag/San Remo” seat covers. Meanwhile, a leather-look material covers the door armrests, the head rests, and outer seat bolsters.

And finally, the whole car is bedecked in R-Line badges, despite which powertrain options remain the same.

If you’re looking for something a little more colorful, the Style package is where it’s at. The contrasting roof color proves that two-tone cars are back in style, a program with which I’m very much on board. With chrome tailpipes and door trim, as well as silver underbody guards and diffusers, it’s the polar opposite of the R-Line. And the 17-inch wheels in four different colors only add to the color palette.

Meanwhile, the Sport trim splits the difference. With smoked glass on the windows and lights, the Sport trim has some of the R-Line’s severity, but with chrome trim, red brake calipers, and silver body guards, there’s a bit of the Style package’s ebullience.

All of which is based on the MQB platform, with six engines (three TDI, three TSI) available, offering anywhere from 115 hp to nearly 200. Offered with front- or all-wheel drive and a 7-speed DSG gearbox, the T-Roc is an agile micro-SUV. As ever, though, VW has opted not to offer the T-Roc in America or Canada.

Review: Saying Goodbye to the CC V6

For all its size and its global reach, Volkswagen is still, in many ways, a deeply human company. There was, for instance, the Bugatti Veyron an ego project if ever there was one. Then the purchase of Ducati, a move most called folly. And then there was the Phaeton, the Volkswagen that most folks can’t afford. Not only were these moves all strange, I’m sure that they made VW’s accountants furious. None of them made good business sense, but they were all deeply interesting and they all are evidence of the heart that beats at the center of VW. Among these follies is the CC, a car that everyone agrees is rakishly handsome, but that no one really wanted to buy. The car couldn’t last, but the world is brighter for its having been in it. With the approach debut of the Arteon, it seems like a good time to look back on its sadly departing predecessor. The version I drove, because I live in Canada, is a V6 Wolfsburg Edition, which apparently isn’t available in the States. Nor is the V6, not as...

More 3.0-Liter TDI Settlement Details Expected by January 31

Volkswagen and the TDI Plaintiff’s Steering Committee were in court today for another status conference following the agreement in principal reached earlier this week. Little new information was given at the conference held before Judge Charles Breyer today, but the court ordered the parties to develop a formal settlement agreement, class action notices, and a class notice plan by January 31, 2017. For now, though, owners still don’t know how much to expect in compensation. Elizabeth Cabraser, lead Counsel for the Plaintiff’s Steering Committee reaffirmed in a statement today that the compensation would be “substantial.” The potential cost to Volkswagen is widely reported to exceed $1 billion, though, with an additional $225 million going into an environmental trust to help offset excess emissions. Buy back offers are still only expected for the oldest 20,000 of the roughly 80,000 VW Group vehicles sold in America with the 3.0-liter TDI engine. Those vehicles are mostly SUVs, like ...
