Volkswagen T-Roc
It is based on the Volkswagen Group MQB A1 platform, and generally has been considered as the SUV equivalent of the C-segment Golf.[17] The T-Roc is based on the MQB A1 platform and is closely related with the Volkswagen Golf Mk7, SEAT León Mk3, Audi A3 Mk3, and the Škoda Octavia Mk3.[20] The T-Roc was showcased in India at the 2020 Auto Expo, and was launched in the country as a limited imported model in March 2020.Previewed earlier as the Volkswagen T-Rocstar concept,[22] the T-Roc was unveiled to the Chinese market on 23 March 2018 and went on sale on 30 July 2018.The 2023 model year is equipped with the EA211 1.4 liter TSI engine producing 150 PS (148 hp; 110 kW) and 250 N⋅m (184 lb⋅ft) mated to a DQ200 7speed dual clutch transmission.To deal with the loss of rigidity caused by the absent roof and B-pillar, the chassis has been strengthened with new crossbeams, and the A-pillar has been reinforced.[34] It was reported that Volkswagen brand CEO Herbert Diess was dismissive and derisive of the idea of a convertible SUV, believing any vehicle in the segment will not be successful just months before announcing the T-Roc Cabriolet.
