Its hallmark features included a striking silver stripe extending from the A-pillar to the distinctive T-Roc C-pillar. This stripe helped to extend the roof line and was christened the ‘hockey stick’ by designers on account of its shape. Another of the T-Roc’s clear archetypal features was the sharp, muscular and powerful shoulder section above the rear wheel arch. As part of this product line’s iconic DNA, these features have also been incorporated into the successor’s new design. So, despite its redesign and enhancements, this makes it immediately recognisable as a T-Roc – right down to the very last millimetre. The ‘face’ now shows a stylistic proximity to the family of other modern Volkswagen models and thus becomes a bridge to the Volkswagen design of the future. The new ‘family face’ is just the starting point from which the designers have created a ‘product face’ for the new T-Roc with the greatest possible autonomy. Every line, every edge, every surface and every curve is based on logic and functionality. In addition, the SUV has become more aerodynamic: the new drag coefficient of cd = 0.29 corresponds to an improvement of 10 per cent compared with the predecessor and – together with the new drive system range – serves as the basis for the significantly improved efficiency of the second T-Roc generation. 1.5 eTSI for launch. The new T-Roc is the first Volkswagen product line whose entire drive range consists exclusively of efficient hybrid systems. One of the most successful Volkswagen drive systems of this era will be offered straight from the launch: a 1.5-litre turbocharged engine as a 48 V mild hybrid (1.5 eTSI) in two output levels with 85 kW (116 PS) and 110 kW (150 PS). Both versions of the 1.5 eTSI used for the first time in the T-Roc are high-tech systems: they convert kinetic energy into electrical energy by means of recuperation and store this in a compact lithium-ion battery.
