VOLKSWAGEN IS LAUNCHING THE T-Roc R Wolfsburg Edition, focused on delivering an exclusive exterior look and unmistakeably emotional sound, with a recommended retail price of $69,290 (plus on road costs).
The T-Roc R Wolfsburg Edition takes what Australian customers embrace about Volkswagen’s most affordable ‘R’ model and dials up the visuals and soundtrack, culminating in a vehicle worthy of the ‘Wolfsburg’ badge – denoting Volkswagen’s hometown and development centre in Germany.
Additions to T-Roc R’s equipment list include a matte paint finish in Indium Grey, Akrapovič titanium exhaust system, 19-inch Pretoria Dark Graphite alloy wheels, black roof rails, black mirror caps and hockey stick, black lower radiator trim, carbon-look C-pillars, gloss-black décor and frame for vents, and black display control panel.
Nathan Johnson, Head of Marketing and Product at Volkswagen Passenger Vehicles said the T-Roc R continues Australia’s penchant for performance vehicles and the Wolfsburg Edition caters even further to the performance SUV enthusiast.
“Australia is a very significant market globally for T-Roc R and now the Wolfsburg Edition gives Australian customers the opportunity to own the definitive version of the ultimate T-Roc,” Mr Johnson said.
“Performance has always been a strength of T-Roc R and the unique matte paint and Akrapovič titanium exhaust system further elevate it to where it now looks and sounds its absolute best.”
T-Roc R Wolfsburg Edition will be available in a limited production run of 200 units, with no plans for an extended run once all vehicles are sold out – making for a very exclusive special edition.
Standard equipment on the T-Roc R includes Adaptive Chassis Control, 4MOTION Active Control, Progressive Steering, ‘R’ exterior and interior styling, IQ.LIGHT Matrix LED headlights, Dynamic Light Assist, power tailgate, heated sport front seats, Nappa leather-appointed upholstery with blue decorative stitching, electrically-adjustable driver’s seat with memory, sport leather multi-function steering wheel, gearshift paddles, Discover Pro 9.2-inch infotainment system and Digital Cockpit Pro.
Acclaimed for its secure and unobtrusive driver assistance technology, T-Roc R also features Volkswagen’s IQ.DRIVE which includes Travel Assist combining Adaptive Cruise Control with Lane Assist and Side Assist, Front Assist with Pedestrian Monitoring, Park Assist and Rear View Camera.
The T-Roc R delivers 221kW of power at 5300-6600rpm and 400Nm of torque at 2000-5300rpm. Coupled with a seven-speed DSG transmission, 4MOTION all-wheel drive technology and Adaptive Chassis Control, the T-Roc R’s acceleration is delivered with exquisite precision and control.
Zero to 100km/h is dispatched in 4.9 seconds, reinforcing Volkswagen’s unparalleled performance credentials in the compact SUV segment.
