Volkswagen has been pushing towards establishing itself as a strong SUV player in India and T-Roc appears to be at the focal point of these efforts. It has a progressive design language, with a coupe-style roof, distinctively wide front end and concise proportions. The integrated LED headlights and LED daytime running lights give the car a clean yet purposeful appearance from the front while the dual-tone roof lends it a sporty character. Sitting on R17 inch diamond-cut alloys, the SUV also gets black-coloured exterior mirrors, body-coloured door handles and silver anodised roof rails. (Check out more pics of T-Roc SUV here)

Under the hood is a TSI petrol engine mated to Volkswagen’s 7-speed DSG gear box. The 1.5-litre BS 6-compliant petrol engine belts out 148bhp of power and has 250Nm of peak torque. It also comes with Active Cylinder Technology (ACT). VW says that this system 'senses the driving pattern and accordingly activates or deactivates 2 cylinders out of 4 resulting in reduced fuel consumption.'
