New Volkswagen T-Roc to start from €24,750 in Ireland

Volkswagen’s new T-Roc crossover model has been drawing crowds at the recent Frankfurt Motor Show and closer to home, at the National Ploughing Championships in Tullamore.

Now Volkswagen has revealed that the new model, which goes on sale in Ireland later this year, will have a starting price of just €24,750.

The entry-level T-Roc specification is offered with Volkswagen’s heavily-praised 1.0-litre TSI petrol engine putting out 115bhp, which received widespread media plaudits when it made its debut in the updated Golf earlier this year. Standard specification on this grade includes Climatronic 2-Zone air conditioning, USB interfaces, Bluetooth connectivity and a 6.5” ‘Composition Colour’ radio system.

The T-Roc Design specification also features the 1.0-litre TSI 115bhp petrol engine (€26,995) adds 16” Chester alloy wheels, a larger Composition Media radio system featuring an 8” glass touchscreen, a chrome package, Voice Control and App Connect amongst others.

At the top of the T-Roc range will be the Sport specification, which comes with a choice of 1.5-litre 150bhp petrol engines or the 2.0-litre 150bhp TDI diesel, with the latter available in either 6-speed manual or 7-speed DSG.

The 1.5-litre TSI Sport starts from €29,750 and the 2.0-litre TDI 4Motion starts from €34,795. Additional models will be added later in 2018. The Sport specification features sports seats, 17” Kulmbach alloy wheels, LED headlamps, tinted rear windows amongst other items.
