Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 3 Nov, 02:38 · Archive

Volkswagen has confirmed the second-generation T-Roc small SUV will arrive in Australia in early 2027, powered by mild-hybrid petrol engines. Full pricing and specifications are still to be announced.

The new T-Roc has grown substantially across all dimensions. It is now 4373mm long, 1828mm wide and 1562mm tall with a 2631mm wheelbase – 122mm longer, 9mm wider, 9mm taller, and with a 28mm longer wheelbase than the original model. Volkswagen claims this delivers increased interior space and practicality, with a 475-litre boot capacity, up 30 litres, and improved rear seat accommodation allowing a 1.85-metre-tall passenger to sit behind a driver of the same height.

The new T-Roc will feature mild-hybrid powertrains, likely the 110kW 1.5 eTSI and 150kW 2.0 eTSI 4Motion, both with 48V MHEV assistance. It will also adopt Volkswagen's latest infotainment and driver assistance technologies first seen in the larger Tiguan, along with enhanced comfort and personalisation features throughout the range.

The current T-Roc was Volkswagen Australia's best-selling passenger model with 5159 registrations in 2025, ahead of the Tiguan's 3664.
