The dynamically-focused T-Roc R is the third member of the T-Roc family to receive the package of enhancements while maintaining its punchy 300 PS 2.0-litre TSI engine, 0 to 62 mph acceleration time of 4.9 seconds, and 155 mph top speed (where permissible). Proving the all-around appeal of the T-Roc formula, the model is bestowed with the same upgrades as the regular T-Roc, which complement the model’s innate dynamic abilities thanks to the work of the R division. The model is also even more generously equipped than its predecessor, with keyless entry, among other luxuries, added to its list of standard-fit equipment. Even crisper and sportier styling is also a major part of this suite of revisions.

The T-Roc R is priced from £40,445 RRP OTR, and is equipped exclusively with a seven-speed DSG transmission and 4MOTION four-wheel drive. The Volkswagen T-Roc R nods to the R brand’s first model – the Golf Mk4 R32 – which also featured Volkswagen’s acclaimed DSG. As the fastest-responding transmission option, it is the natural choice for a specialist performance car like the T-Roc R, matching the pace that its 300 PS engine confidently delivers.
