Next-Gen Volkswagen T-Roc to Unveil at Munich Auto Show: Here's What You Need to Know

Volkswagen will introduce the next-generation T-Roc at the Munich Motor Show in September 2025. The compact SUV has been one of the company’s long-standing performers in Europe and South America, and the new model will mark the start of its second generation with changes to design, technology, and drivetrain options. The new T-Roc will be available with hybrid and fully electric variants, in line with Volkswagen’s wider move towards electrified mobility.

The hybrid version is expected to serve markets such as South America, where hybrid cars are steadily gaining ground. The electric version will support Volkswagen’s aim of building a wider global presence in the zero-emission space.

Unconfirmed images indicate that the car has a revised exterior theme. At the front, it carries a larger grille, narrow LED headlights, and a full-width light strip. The rear features new tail lamps, while the cabin is likely to gain an upgraded digital instrument cluster, revised infotainment functions, and a package of connected and driver-assistance features used across Volkswagen’s newer models.

The electric T-Roc will be the first compact SUV from the brand to use the Scalable Systems Platform (SSP). The new platform has been developed to accommodate rapid charging and to provide the groundwork for future driverless technology, including potential Level 4 autonomy. This confirms the T-Roc’s role in Volkswagen’s effort to integrate both software and hardware advances into its next generation of cars.

Volkswagen’s focus for the T-Roc will remain on Europe and overseas markets, while the model is not expected to return to India. The vehicle was previously brought in through limited imports in 2021, but current plans emphasise the Taigun and Tiguan, along with the larger Tayron that is due soon. This approach supports Volkswagen’s aim to strengthen its Indian lineup with models produced locally or imported to serve specific segments.
