2023 Volkswagen T-Roc price and specs – UPDATE

Volkswagen has revealed the pricing and standard specification of its updated T-Roc before it hits local showrooms in August.

UPDATE, 06/02/2023: Volkswagen Australia has increased the asking price of the core T-Roc range by between $500 and $1000 amid a wider price rise.

“Shippings costs certainly aren’t diminishing. For as long as possible we shielded customers from associated price rises,” said a Volkswagen Australia spokesperson.

“We do not allow orders made prior to the designated increase date to be subject to an extra impost.”

UPDATE, 07/09/2022: Volkswagen’s original pricing announcement referred to late MY22 builds that are arriving in the country now. Pricing for MY23 models has now been released, as well as details of the new R Grid Edition.

Due to component shortages, VW Australia has removed Side Assist (blind-spot) and Rear Traffic Alert systems for MY23, as well as the Proactive Occupant Protection System, which pre-tensions the seatbelts and closes the windows and sunroof if the vehicle detects a collision.As a result, the 2023 T-Roc Style and R-Line are $650 cheaper than MY22 versions to reflect these changes.

The 2023 Volkswagen T-Roc range still kicks off with the Style, which now costs $37,100 before on-road costs.

Replacing the Sport is the R-Line, which is priced at $45,200 before on-road costs. This is $2550 more expensive than the outgoing Sport, although the car also comes better equipped than before.

As previously detailed, the high-performance T-Roc R is also hitting local showrooms in August, and will cost $60,300 before on-road costs. Like the Style, it’s also more generously equipped than before.

This makes it a new entry point to Volkswagen’s growing R range, slotting in beneath the Golf R and the bigger Tiguan R.

Outside, the updated T-Roc has been given a refreshed front fascia with new standard features like privacy glass available across the range.

Inside, there’s a soft-touch dashboard with new features such as a 10.25-inch Digital Cockpit Pro, wireless phone charger and paddle shifters across the range.

The updated T-Roc also gains a range of new safety features, including the Travel Assist of highway driving assists.

This is mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission with drive sent to the front wheels only.

Volkswagen claims the T-Roc R can do the 0-100km/h sprint in 4.9 seconds, which is 0.2 seconds faster than the larger Tiguan R and one-tenth slower than the Golf R hatch.

Claimed combined fuel economy (ADR):

• T-Roc Style: 6.3L/100km
• T-Roc R-Line: 7.3L/100km

Dimensions

Final dimensions or cargo capacities for the updated T-Roc range haven’t been published, but it’s likely the measurements will remain identical to the pre-update car.
