If you want the new taillights, you have to use the matrix light. But there are always new aprons.
Interior: Finally there are foamed surfaces in the VW
The facelift is really interesting in the interior. There has been a lot of criticism of the quality here in the past. Not without reason, because until now, hard plastic has been popular when it comes to choosing materials. In the first row, those days are over. The dashboard is foamed, the door panels already have fabric inlays even in the base. The rear, however, still has to be content with the dreary panels without inlays. The T-Roc loses its paintwork in the crossover, only the convertible and the top model T-Roc R still have the option and can be spiced up in this way. The operation of the In the future, automatic air conditioning will be carried out by touch, the control unit is already familiar from the Passat. New “Ergo-Active” seats with a massage function should also ensure seating comfort.
Only T-Roc R and the R-Line come with a touch steering wheel. Otherwise it will be more digital in the T-Roc.

The “Active Info” display is also optionally available with 10.25 inches. Thanks to MIB 3, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto can be used for infotainment, the display reaches a size up to 9.2 inches (6.5 inches in the base) and will be placed on the dashboard in the future. Thanks to the MIB 3, the T-Roc is always online and networked if required. This means on the one hand the connection to the “We Connect App” and on the other hand real-time data for the navigation system and the weather report.
The convertible will continue to be offered. On request, there are also red decors in the interior.
Assistants: Travel Assist now also for the crossover
VW is also expanding the T-Roc’s range of functions with the assistants. Among other things, there is now also the “Travel Assist”. It combines lane guidance and cruise control, which for the facelift is now even looking ahead to the traffic. The wizards in detail:
● IQ.DRIVE Travel Assist – Bundling of ACC and Lane Assist ● Predictive ACC – Adaptive cruise control with GPS support ● Front Assist – Emergency brake assistant ● Side Assist – Blind spot warning ● Lane Assist – Lane departure warning system ● Park Assist – Parking assistant ● Proactive occupant protection system
Engines: The top model remains the T-Roc R with 300 hp
The R model including the optional Akrapovic exhaust system will also continue to be offered.
The facelift takes over the drives unchanged from the original model. Electrification does not yet play a role at the Wolfsburg-based company. Classic gasoline and diesel engines go about their work under the hood. The top model remains the T-Roc R with 300 hp and technology from the Golf. All engines at a glance:
Used cars: the predecessor of the facelift is by no means old
Since there is little technical change in relation to the new model, the pre-facelift is still an interesting alternative.
Since the new T-Roc is just a facelift, interested parties can confidently look around the used car market. Less well-equipped specimens start at around 17,000 euros on the common used car markets. If a T-Roc causes problems, it is mostly with little things. Rust is not familiar with the still young SUV.

In addition to the hard plastics, the seat covers in the interior are not always particularly durable. The speakers clatter unpleasantly at times. The infotainment systems can crash sporadically. The 1.5-liter TSI is sometimes annoying with engine jolting when starting up: There was a software update for this. Several recalls for seat belts, roof spoiler (2018), logbook (2017-2018), rear seat back (2018) and parking brake (2018).
