VW T-Roc GTE Crossover hot hybrid Could happen

However, the Tiguan GTE now has a higher priority.

The Volkswagen T-Roc already has an amazing lineup for a traditional compact crossover. Which includes the standard model, the T-Roc R performance version. And the two-door convertible T-Roc Cabriolet.

British colleagues say Volkswagen was able to build and launch a T-Roc GTE. So, operated by a performance-oriented hybrid plug-in battery. This statement supported by a new announcement made by the company’s electrified drivetrain project manager, Dr. Kai Philipp. As he said in a press conference call that the so MQB system giving us the ability to do so.

However, a T-Roc plug-in is not of high priority right now because the bigger and more powerful Tiguan is the next one in line to get the GTE diagnosis. We’ve seen samples of the electrified SUV out testing already, and it’s supposed to launch with the mid-cycle upgrade of the crossover.

Logic informs us that if the T-Roc GTE gets the green light of development. It will follow the current electric plug-in technology from Volkswagen. And also seen in the new Golf GTE for Europe.

So, these estimates will place the future T-Roc GTE between the latest range-topper, the 300 hp T-Roc R (224 kW), and the 2.0-liter TSI engine and 190 hp (142 kW) configuration.
