Volkswagen India is all set to introduce the T-Roc compact SUV in India, just weeks after the model was showcased at the 2020 Auto Expo. The Volkswagen T-Roc is part of the brand's new product offensive and its second launch this month after the Tiguan AllSpace. The new offering comes to India as a Completely Built Unit (CBU) and will be sold in a single, fully-loaded variant in limited units. The new compact SUV is being targeted at a young customer base and the VW India has already garnered over 300 bookings for the T-Roc, ahead of its launch. Its pricing then remains under wraps.

The Volkswagen T-Roc will go against the petrol variants of the Jeep Compass, Tata Harrier, MG Hector, Kia Seltos and more. We expect prices to be in the vicinity of Rs. 19-20 lakh (ex-showroom), which does put it at the premium end of the segment. That being said, the T-Roc for India will be a loaded model and promises to bring some driving fun in the guise of an SUV body style.
