Used Volkswagen T-Roc cars for sale

The T-Roc was first launched in 2017 and is Volkswagen’s fourth SUV to date. It’s often referred to as the SUV equivalent of the VW Golf. Volkswagen first introduced the T-Roc as a concept in 2014 at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show.

The T-Roc is a subcompact crossover SUV which falls into class segment B, with selected models offering an all-wheel drive drivetrain. From 2018, the T-Roc range expanded, introducing the R-Line trim level which offered sportier body styling and additional equipment and technology to the interior. 2019 saw the introduction of the T-Roc’s most powerful trim – the R. The VW T-Roc R achieves 296 bhp from the same engine as the Golf R, delivering the same high performance and superior road handling.

Volkswagen T-Roc updates and facelifts

A facelift on the T-Roc occurred in 2022, with the upgrades including a newly designed dashboard and refreshed infotainment system. The exterior got updated front and rear bumpers, revised LED headlights, and darker taillights with dynamic indicators. The 2022 facelift also offered new paint finish options and a refreshed alloy wheel design. The ever-expanding SUV car market is competitive with the Volkswagen T-Roc up against the Audi Q2, Ford Puma and Peugeot 2008, amongst others.

The T-Roc is also available in a convertible version. The T-Roc Cabriolet was launched in Germany in 2020 with the open-top version expanding the range of the popular crossover car. It is one of the only convertible subcompact crossover SUVs on the market. The convertible concept was first shown to the public in 2016 but wasn’t available to buy in the UK until 2021. Perfect for everyone from growing families to professionals or enthusiasts. The VW T-Roc is a spacious, stylish, and safe subcompact SUV, available with petrol or diesel engines.

Practicality and style of the car

The T-Roc sits below the VW Tiguan and above the slightly smaller VW T-Cross. Although classed as a small SUV, there’s room for five adults and a decent-sized boot too. The cabin offers plenty of room for growing families or groups of friends, with a 6-foot-tall passenger able to sit behind a 6-foot-tall driver comfortably in the rear. Ample leg, shoulder and head room is provided for passengers in the cabin. A selection of practical storage bins, cubbies, consoles and cupholders also ensure your cabin is kept clutter-free.

The T-Roc has 445 litres of boot space which increases to 1,237 litres with the rear bench folded, providing more space than others in class including a Nissan QashQai or Toyota C-HR. The rear bench folds in a 60/40 split which allows the seats to sit almost completely flat when stowed away. A level loading lip also helps when packing heavy loads into the T-Roc’s boot. AWD models come with a 392-litre capacity boot; this is due to the AWD setup taking up more space at the rear of the car. AWD models’ boot space increases to 1,237 litres with the rear seats folded. The T-Roc Cabriolet offers less boot space than models with AWD; 280 litres of room are available due to the drop-top setup.

The maximum tow capacity depends on the engine size. Larger engines offer the full towing capacity of up to 1,700kg. For example, the 2020 Volkswagen T-Roc 140TSI Sport 2.0-litre has a maximum tow capacity of 1,700kg. Whereas the 2022 110TSI Style 1.4-litre can tow a maximum of 1,500kg.

Running costs

Insuring your T-Roc will vary depending on trim-level, engine size, body, fuel, transmission type and other personal and circumstantial factors. Models manufactured from 2017 onwards sit between insurance groups 10 to 34. Those looking to keep their insurance costs low could opt for the T-Roc S 1.6 TDI which sits in insurance group 10. Road tax is another cost that will vary depending on which T-Roc you choose. A used Volkswagen T-Roc will fall between road tax bands G and J, with yearly prices of around £180.

Maintenance and repairs costs can be kept to minimum providing you regularly service the vehicle and maintain it to an appropriate standard. It’s quick and easy to book your car in for servicing and repairs at Arnold Clark with our online book, approve and pay system.
