At some point in March motorists begin to feel the urge to take to the roads in a convertible. Volkswagen has recently added a lifestyle-oriented version to its range – the T-Roc Cabriolet will celebrate its official market launch in German dealerships from March 20th onwards. In the run up to the big day, Volkswagen is providing comprehensive information material, photos and footage at www.volkswagen-newsroom.com.
The open-top version of the successful T-Roc represents a dynamic vehicle concept – with a slightly raised seat position, a bold design and a perfect compromise between modern technology, comfort and driving pleasure. The central feature is the vehicle’s fully automated soft top which opens in just nine seconds, even when travelling at speeds of up to 30 km/h.
The T-Roc Cabriolet comes in two equipment lines – the designer “Style” version and the sporty “R-Line”(((T-Roc Cabriolet 1.5 TSI, 110 kW – fuel consumption in l/100 km (NEDC): urban 6.9–6.7 / extra-urban 5.0–4.8 / combined 5.7–5.5; combined CO2 emissions in g/km: 130–125, efficiency class: B, A.)))(((T-Roc Cabriolet 1.5 TSI DSG, 110 kW – fuel consumption in l/100 km (NEDC): urban 6.7–6.5 / extra-urban 5.3–5.0 / combined 5.8–5.6; combined CO2 emissions in g/km: 132–127, efficiency class: B.))). The “Style” line itself features a full range of standard equipment including 17-inch Mayfield alloy wheels, white ambient lighting, an air conditioning system, lane keeping system Lane Assist, Autonomous Emergency Braking Front Assist, Driver Alert System, Composition radio system and much more. On request, the T-Roc Cabriolet can be fitted with a Digital Cockpit and the top-of-the-line “Discover Media” Infotainment system.
Two efficient TSI engines are available for the open-top T-Roc – the 1.0 TSI with 85 kW/115 PS(((T-Roc Cabriolet 1.0 TSI, 85 kW – fuel consumption in l/100 km (NEDC): urban 6.6–6.3 / extra-urban 5.1–4.8 / combined 5.6–5.4; combined CO2 emissions in g/km: 129–123, efficiency class: A.))) and a 1.5 TSI with 110 kW/150 PS(((T-Roc Cabriolet 1.5 TSI, 110 kW – fuel consumption in l/100 km (NEDC): urban 6.9–6.7 / extra-urban 5.0–4.8 / combined 5.7–5.5; combined CO2 emissions in g/km: 130–125, efficiency class: B, A.))). The latter can (optionally) also be combined with a dual clutch gearbox (DSG).
