Volkswagen T-Roc car lease deals

Performance and features

The extensive range of engines means there’s a T-Roc model for every driver, whether they’re looking for smaller engines to cover low annual mileages or a larger diesel. The entry-level three-cylinder 1.0-litre TSI petrol produces 113hp to get from 0-63mph in 10.1 seconds, while the 1.5-litre TSI EVO offers a boost in performance with 148hp. For drivers wanting speed, the 187hp 2.0-litre TSI is the fastest petrol in the range, utilising four-wheel drive and a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox to reach 0-62mph in 7.2 seconds. There’s also the 1.6 and 2.0-litre TDI diesels that use a six-speed manual gearbox and front-wheel drive.

Drivers can opt for the Dynamic Chassis Control to soften or firm up the T-Roc’s ride, with the various driving settings including Eco, Comfort and Sport working to adjust the gearbox, steering and throttle response to suit individual driving styles. Most T-Rocs available are two-wheel drive variants, although there’s the option to add four-wheel drive on select models. The Driving Profile Selection available on the SEL trim allows drivers to alter the steering weight and accelerator response to suit their driving style, while the 4Motion multi-link suspension makes for a smooth ride even on uneven country roads.

Interior technology

The T-Roc features the same 8-inch infotainment system found in the VW Golf, with DAB radio, dual-zone climate control and smartphone mirroring as standard, and sat nav available as part of the upgraded Discover Navigation system. Drivers can opt to add a reversing or bird’s eye view camera for ease, or spring for the range-topping SEL trim to benefit from LED headlights and a selection of dashboard inserts. Other notable features include split-folding rear seats, leather steering wheel, heated door mirrors and an auto-dimming rear-view mirror. Drivers can also add customisation with a choice of contrasting roof colours, chrome exhaust pipes and illuminated front footwells.
