Following close behind the debut of the Volkswagen T-Roc SUV is its hotter, higher-performance variant the T-Roc R, which has been spotted testing at Volkswagen’s test facility at the Nurburgring. Being an MQB platform-based SUV which ranks it among the likes of the Tiguan, Atlas and Teramont, its versatility means it gains access to potent powertrains such as that of the Golf R.
Configured thus, the T-Roc R can be expected to receive the hot hatch’s 2.0 litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine pushing out 310 PS and 400 Nm of torque, as well as the seven-speed DSG dual-clutch automatic transmission and 4Motion all-wheel-drive system.
Subtlety is the order of the day where exterior is concerned, following the Golf R’s footsteps in relatively small visual changes in the transformation to range-topping R status. A set of oval quad exhaust tips is clearly visible, and the car also sports larger brakes hiding behind the standard car’s 19-inch alloys.
Expect the production model to come with more aggressive front and rear bumpers, plus unique wheel designs. No images of the interior are available just yet, though more supportive seats and R-specific interior trim can be expected too. The Volkswagen T-Roc R is expected to make its official debut at the Geneva Motor Show next year.

Door handle on that wheel arch? Hmn…..odd
How they can squeeze 310 PS and 410 NM for a 2.0? They can do so because they research and work hard.
If they are lazy, they don’t invent anything and they cannot improve on their engines.
Proton needs to learn a lot from the Germans
Implying that P1 still creates meanwhile P2 dun make anything. Nice going with the off aim bash there.
What the hell does this story has to do with Proton? I mean seriously, every time a story about a new car from somewhere with respectable output from meagre displacement comes out, along comes the same schmuck under a different pseudonym, who would then use the story to bash proton, which is unrelated to the story in the first place, for no reason other than to undermine, belittle, cast aspersions and most of the time lie, about our fellow countrymen.
We get it, you hate proton, you hate the ruling party and by extension, every thing they have done which has brought all of us to this point in time, for better or worse.
Now move on, please. You are boring the hell out of everyone.
DSG not kong, sure or not?
not that they are lazy or what..
they don’t have enough resources and money to begin with..
Nothing to shout about, that engine has direct injection, 4 wheel drive system, and the list continues….

So my 400k Macan 2.0 get tapao by this Terok how ah?? no shiok lah!!

Most if not all VW vehicles with the “R” badge signify higher performance vehicle. The question is – Does this T-Roc deserved the R badge??
With 310 PS/400 Nm of torque, 7-speed DSG & 4Motion AWD system, VW think its apt to stick the R onto the badge. What do U guys think??
Why not, it is still using problematic DSG
