Volkswagen introduced the all-new T-Roc a few weeks
ago and the company is already spicing up its entry-level crossover with a
couple of R-Line packages.
Designed to appeal to style conscious consumers, the
R-Line Exterior Package includes sportier body-color bumpers and R-Line badging
on the grille. Buyers will also find a unique rear diffuser, body-colored door
trim, and darker taillights.
Inside, the R-Line Interior Package
adds a leather-wrapped sport steering wheel and two-tone cloth / microfiber
seats with faux leather accents. The package also includes a black roofliner,
special floor mats, and stainless steel pedals. Rounding out the changes are
R-Line door sill plates and 18- or 19-inch alloy wheels.
Besides introducing the R-Line packages, Volkswagen
detailed the T-Roc's engine lineup. On the petrol side, the entry-level
offering is a 1.0-liter TSI that develops 115 PS and 200 Nm of torque. Moving up to the 1.5-liter TSI rewards buyers with 150 PS and 250 Nm of torque. Lastly, there's a 2.0-liter TSI that develops
190 PS and 320 Nm of torque.
Diesel fans can order an entry-level 1.6-liter TDI
with 115 PS and 250 Nm of torque. There will also be a
2.0-liter TDI that has outputs of 150 PS and 340 Nm of
torque as well as 190 PS and 400 Nm of torque.
Depending on which engine is selected, it can be
paired to either a six-speed manual transmission or a seven-speed DSG gearbox.
The entry-level engines come exclusively with front-wheel drive, while
all-wheel drive is optional or standard on higher-end models.
