PRESS RELEASE
2022 VW T-Roc line-up and pricing released for New Zealand
Harnessing its dynamic combination of beauty and power, Volkswagen has today unveiled its new 3-
pronged T-Roc line-up; featuring the T-Roc Life 2WD, the T-Roc R-Line 2WD and the ultra-impressive
new T-Roc R AWD.
This much coveted car doesn’t disappoint as it introduces a sharpened exterior design, enhanced
technical, safety and infotainment features and a refined interior. All exude the bold personality and
confidence that has quickly made the T-Roc a ‘Kiwi’ favourite in the increasingly popular small-SUV
market.
“The new Volkswagen T-Roc line up is strong, but it’s the highly anticipated baby ‘R’ that has our staff
and dealerships buzzing. We know it’s going to be a hit; broadening out the T-Roc appeal and attracting
a new audience with its balanced sport and style credentials paired with perfect performance,” says
Greg Leet, General Manager of Volkswagen Passenger Vehicles.
“If we’ve learnt anything from the previous R launches, these won’t last long; both times saw us selling
out early arrivals and for good reason.”
