The Volkswagen T-Roc small SUV has made a number of previously-optional features standard equipment – for a cost. Blind-spot monitoring is back on the menu for top-selling variants.
- 2024 Volkswagen T-Roc pricing and specifications
- More standard features for Style and R-Line
- Blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert return to Style, R-Line
- Priced from $35,990 before on-road costs
The 2024 Volkswagen T-Roc small SUV has received price rises of up to $1890 to coincide with increases in standard equipment – including the return of blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert to standard models.
Style and R-Line versions of the T-Roc – now Volkswagen’s top-selling model line due to a boost in stock – have gained a host of features previously included in option packs for the next model year.
Prices have risen by $1790 for the T-Roc Style, and $1890 for the T-Roc R-Line – after an unrelated price rise for the T-Roc R performance model at the start of this month, attributed to increases in production and shipping costs.
The first deliveries of the upgraded models are due in “late Q3 [third quarter of] 2023” – translating to September arrivals.
Among the new features for 2024 are blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert, which return to both Style and R-Line grades after they became unavailable late last year due to semiconductor shortages.
These features remained available on the standard, top-of-the-range T-Roc R – not the de-specified R Grid Edition – and continue to be fitted to 2024 examples.
New for the Style is in-built satellite navigation, voice control, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto (in addition to carry-over wired connectivity), and a larger 10.25-inch instrument display (up from 8.0-inch).
These tech features were previously included in a $2050 Sound and Vision option package – while the price was cut by $650 when blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert were removed last year.
Meanwhile, the T-Roc R-Line gains the safety features plus the contents of a previously-optional $3950 Luxury Package: nappa leather upholstery, heated front seats, and a power-adjustable driver’s seat with memory.
Standard features are otherwise unchanged across the model range, which recently gained a cheaper CityLife edition priced from $35,990 plus on-road costs – open for orders from May 2023, ahead of deliveries in September.
A list of standard features, optional extras and the latest price list accurate as this story was published is included at the bottom of this story.
The entry-level Style and CityLife are powered by a 1.4-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine with 110kW and 250Nm, driving the front wheels through an eight-speed torque-converter automatic transmission.
The R-Line upgrades a 2.0-litre turbo four-cylinder petrol engine with 140kW and 320Nm, mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and all-wheel drive.
The top-of-the-range T-Roc R – and cheaper R Grid Edition – are powered by a 221kW/400Nm version of the 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine, driving all four wheels through a seven-speed dual-clutch auto for a claimed 4.9-second 0-100km/h time.
First deliveries of the updated 2024 Volkswagen T-Roc range are due this September.
