Volkswagen has published photographs of a camouflaged prototype of the new T-Roc R. The sporty crossover has widened wheel arches, larger wheels, a redesigned rear bumper and four exhaust tailpipes, reports Motor1.
The model could make its debut before the end of November.
The new T-Roc is built on the MQB evo platform, which is also used by the current Volkswagen Golf. Thanks to the shared architecture, the crossover is expected to receive the powertrain from the Golf R.
The T-Roc R is expected to be fitted with a two-litre turbocharged engine producing 333 hp and 420 N·m of torque, combined with all-wheel drive. By comparison, the previous T-Roc R developed 300 hp and 400 N·m.
The new sports version may also receive a 48-volt mild hybrid system. The new-generation T-Roc went on sale in Europe at the end of 2025.
