See all Motoring NewsThe B-SUV segment, that of small crossovers, is starting to get crowded, and a big player has just entered the room - Volkswagen has announced that its new T-Roc will go on sale this month, with a starting price of €24,750.
The entry-level spec includes Climatronic two-zone air conditioning, USB ports, Bluetooth connectivity and a 6.5-inch 'Composition Colour' infotainment system. Step up to a Design spec model and you'll get 16-inch 'Chester' alloy wheels, larger Composition Media infotainment featuring an eight-inch glass touchscreen, a chrome package, voice control and App Connect amongst other items.
The top-spec model will be the T-Roc Sport, which comes with a choice of 1.5-litre 150hp petrol or the 2.0-litre 150hp TDI diesel engines, with the latter available in either six-speed manual or seven-speed DSG automatic. The 1.5-litre TSI Sport starts from €29,750 and the 2.0-litre TDI 4Motion starts from €34,795. The Sport specification features sports seats, 17-inch 'Kulmbach' alloy wheels, LED headlamps and tinted rear windows. More models will be added in 2018.
