Volkswagen’s new model T-Roc is now available to order with prices starting at just under 24,000 euros. So based on the top-selling mid-range of the SE model, VW states newcomers add more than 2000 euros of extra equipment with a small increase in the number of stickers.
As we might expect given its name, the Black Edition it is a set apart by the black finish to its grille trim. Also with door mirror caps, roof rails, and exhaust pipes. However, there’s a geometric decal in the C-pillar too, not to mention the rear privacy glass. With the LED headlights and 18-inch black alloy wheels.
The Volkswagen theme continued inside, where piano black dashboard trim and black roof lining dominate. Volkswagen also supplements a leather-wrapped gear knob and a multifunction sports steering wheel with grey contrast stitching.
While all that comes on top of the SE ‘s standard equipment such as adaptive cruise control, front and rear parking sensors, and the Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration systems. So if you want to add more, VW will sell some of the extras options available in the T-Roc range.
Vienna leather upholstery is on offer right now, along with a Beats Audio sound package and sports suspension.
You will get a choice of the engine too. Although it will price 23,750 euros that will only buy you the 1-liter petrol with 113bhp. If you want more power, you can choose 1.5-liter option with 148bhp. Also if economy is your priority, there’s a choice of 1.6-liter with 113bhp and 2-liter with 148bhp.
However, there’s no option for a four-wheel-drive drivetrain. But VW is offering 10 paint jobs to complement the black trim. Unlikely the name, the Black edition palette isn’t dark and doggy. With the colors including Energetic Orange, Flash Red, and Turmeric Yellow all in the offing.
As the new Volkswagen T-Roc focuses on personalization and individuality.
