VOLKSWAGEN IS DELIVERING ENHANCED value across its expanded T-Roc range, with the brand’s top-selling model line gaining technology and luxury equipment as standard.
Widening the position between the new, value-packed T-Roc CityLife, the latest T-Roc Style includes a significant equipment boost focusing on the most desirable features for customers, for a $1790 premium (now $38,890 plus on road costs).
Newly standard on the 110kW 1.4-litre turbocharged T-Roc Style are an 8.0-inch touchscreen now with satellite navigation and voice control, a Digital Cockpit Pro widescreen display with mapping, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto – plus Side Assist blind-spot monitoring and Rear Traffic Alert.
Navigation, voice control, wireless smartphone connectivity and Digital Cockpit Pro previously formed part of the now-deleted Sound & Vision pack valued at $2050 alone, making the T-Roc Style even better value than before.
These additions also blend ideally with a high level of equipment rarely found in compact SUVs below $40,000, including 18-inch alloy wheels, fog lights, Performance LED headlamps, wireless charging, sport comfort front seats, keyless access, dual-zone climate control, leather steering wheel with paddles, Front Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control, Travel Assist, Lane Assist and Park Assist.
A similar step-up figure to the popular and sporty all-wheel drive T-Roc R-Line remains, following the latest model’s $1890 premium (now $47,090 plus on road costs).
Newly standard on the 140kW 2.0-litre turbo T-Roc R-Line are Nappa leather upholstery, heated front seats, electrically adjustable driver’s seat with memory settings, as well as Side Assist and Rear Traffic Alert.
The above luxury items were previously found in the now-deleted $3950 Luxury Package for the T-Roc R-Line, and have now been amortised for a sub-$2000 premium.
Volkswagen Passenger Vehicles director Michal Szaniecki said the T-Roc is continuing to boom in showrooms now that supply can finally meet demand.
“We are hearing the wants and needs of our customers, and especially in the compact SUV segment they want more technology and luxury but also greater overall value,” Mr Szaniecki said.
“Given its popularity in Australia, we can now offer desirable items as standard on the T-Roc Style and T-Roc R-Line for a smaller premium than the previous optioned versions, making them even more appealing to the head and heart.”
The T-Roc continues as the top-selling Volkswagen in 2023, continuing to eclipse records by reaching 1000-plus sales in June. This is in addition to 918 Tiguans, 579 Tiguan Allspaces and 747 Amaroks, rounding out 5125 Volkswagen sales for the month – and up 60.6 percent year to date.
There will be some crossover of new and revised T-Roc stock, with the newly upgraded Style and R-Line arriving alongside the CityLife from late Q3 2023.
