The VW T-ROC SUV will be fully imported model, which is expected to get an expensive price tag. Moreover, the company is also migrating towards all-petrol model lineup for the Indian market as we approach towards BS6 transition. So, we can expect T-ROC SUV to be offered with a single petrol engine.
Volkswagen's new SUV will be loaded with a signature-style vertical grille with trapezoidal LED headlights featuring LeD DRLs. The SUV will also be equipped with a panoramic sunroof, 6-airbags, ABS with EBD, ESC, all-round disc-brakes and a digital MID screen with analogue dials in the instrument cluster.
