The dimensions of the T-Roc
Superior size. The ideal ratio between the compact external dimensions and the superior five-seater and thus completely family-friendly interior is one of the reasons why more than two million units of the first generation T-Roc were sold. And this relationship has gotten even better in the new T-Roc. At 4,373 mm, the second generation is exactly 122 mm longer than its predecessor; The wheelbase has increased to 2,631 mm (+28 mm). This increases the space for the three seats in the rear and the 475 liters (+30 liters) space in the luggage compartment. The new T-ROC is 1,828 mm (without exterior mirror) and 1,562 mm (+9 mm). To bring this into the context within the brand: the current T-Cross is up to 4,135 mm long (-238 mm), while the Tiguan of the new generation in 2024 comprises a length of 4.539 mm (+166 mm). In addition, the new T-Roc has become significantly more aerodynamic: the current air resistance coefficient of CD = of 0.29 corresponds to an increase of 10 percent compared to the predecessor.
The body design
Brand new and yet clearly T-Roc. The first T-Roc already had its own unique style-a distinctive but appealing face that stood out of the crowd. The trademark included a striking silver strip that extended from the A-pillar to the different T-Roc-D stime. This strip helped to extend the roof line and was baptized by designers as a “hockey staff” because of its shape. Another of the clear archetypal features of the T-Roc was the sharp, muscular and powerful section of the shoulder above the rear wheel arch. As part of the legendary DNA of the model series, these functions were also included in the new design of the successor. Despite its redesign and improvements, this immediately makes this as a T-Roc recognizable-to the very last millimeter.
Expressive frontend. Improving a design includes the courage to combine the DNA of a bestseller with brand new elements and thus lead them to a new era. The front end of the new T-Roc does exactly that: The “face” now shows a stylistic relationship with the family of other modern Volkswagen, such as the Tayron and ID.7. In addition, the new T-Roc has a “product face” with the greatest possible autonomy. Each line, every edge, every surface and every curve are based on logic and functionality. For example, take the bonnet: Similar to the Tayron, it is embedded in the contour, which runs to the high and even design of the front section. The peripheral outer edge of the bonnet becomes a design element. The front line of this edge is fused back into the front end and over the headlights via a slim chrome or LED strip. The bonnet also has powerful contours: the width and smooth center is lower, while the side areas are higher; The vertical boundaries between these surfaces correspond to the imaginary continuation of the headlight light in internal borders with incredible precision.
Characteristic lighting design. Thanks to the dynamic graphics of the LED headlights, the T-Roc has a very focused and self-confident look is now also integrated into this design. The interaction between all elements gives the upper section of the front end a progressive and futuristic appearance. The lower end segment of the front end is characterized by the vastness of the ventilation grill. On the sides it is limited by aerodynamic air tablets, while the sides of the complicated black air grilles are refined by elements in the vehicle color. At the bottom, a spoiler rounds off the area in the style of a substructure protection. The light elements installed during the back of the predecessor model were replaced during the day, whereby their function is now being executed by the better protected LED elements in the upper area of the front end.
Dynamic silhouette. Compared to the previous model, the new T-Roc appears larger, sportier, more confident and also mature thanks to its growth in value. This is particularly clear when you look at the silhouette. In the upper area, the designers added a dynamic improvement to the silver “hockey stick” (roof frame strips) and the predecessor's D pillar by giving the roof line an even more coupé-like finish at the back. Both make the T-Roc appear larger and sportier. The legendary roof frame strip also separates the body from the roof, which painted into the body color in a contrasting color and lowers the visual focus of the T-Roc. The ratio of the flat greenhouse (roof and window surfaces) to the painted body surfaces makes the new T-Roc look more like a dynamic CUV (crossover service program vehicle) in contrast to a conventional SUV (Sport Utility Vehicle). The ergonomically designed door openers are now higher. A particularly striking element that is part of the T-Roc DNA is the two-part character line. On the front it develops from the LED light strip of the headlights and runs with a sharp undercut right in front of the A-pillar. The front wheel boxes and wing panels shape the picture under the character line. In the future, the wheel boxes will be filled with bikes of up to 20 inches Size (previously a maximum of 19 inches). The symbol is only resumed when it reaches the rear section of the rear doors. Here it climbs over the door handles with a radius parallel to the wheel arch and then runs horizontally into the back end. The rear area of the character line and the exhibited wing panels were both characteristic design elements in the first T-Roc. In the second generation, the shoulder area characterized by the undercut has become even more powerful and noticeable. One thing is certain: the crispy T-Roc proportions, the powerfully shaped T-Roc muscles over the wheel boxes and the strong T-Roc cocks of the new generation give this SUV a more male and sporty appearance.
Coupé-like back end. The rear end of the T-Roc has been completely redesigned and now appears even more unmistakable. The coupé-like design of the tailgate and the stretched spoiler of the roof edge to the rear give the vehicle a much more dynamic appearance. Here, too, the T-Roc now looks bigger and even more sophisticated. The entire back area, including the tailgate, which extends much further outwards, was emphasized horizontally to emphasize the wide T-Roc of the new T-Roc and to give the vehicle a strong appearance on the street. While the predecessor still had split-light clusters, the second generation of the model series now uses a glass covered with glass, which is illuminated from the middle specification package. In this case, the red -illuminated rear VW logo is integrated into the middle. The level below is the home of the shaped number plate area and a diffuser, the latter giving the SUV an additional kick of stability and sportiness. Over the light strip, the entire rear area is connected by the aerodynamic spoiler lip, which extends to the character line and the shoulder section – a design feature that underlines the typical solidity of Volkswagen.
The LED headlights in detail. In the basic version package for versions and life specification, the T-Roc is equipped with new LED headlights and running lights as standard. From the life specification and above, the exterior mirrors also have a light projection as the surrounding lighting. The specifications for the top range and R-line specifications offer the even more powerful LED plus headlights as standard, including dynamic curve lights, the narrow LED light strip and the white, illuminated VW logo. In this case, the automatic lighting control, the curve and poor weather lights as well as the light assistant control, which automatically activated and deactivated the high rays, are also included by default. The IQ.LED -Led -Matrix headlight Also represent a new development phase. The narrow LED light strip and the illuminated VW logo are also integrated here. The IQ.LED LED LED matrix headlights are marked by new LED LED LED capitals for high-performance LED. The extended devices (compared to LED Plus) also includes the Dynamic Light Assist Advanced Main Beam Control (which helps oncoming and oncoming traffic on street maskers).
The LED swang lights clever in detail. The taillight clusters on the new T-Roc are designed as a LED system by default. If the SUV is equipped with the LED plus headlights or the IQ.LED -LED -Tatrix headlights, the new 3D tail lights are automatically included. In this case, the cross strip covered with glass is also illuminated between the swang light clusters and the rear VW logo is illuminated red. The taillights also include a coming home and aanimation of departure for secret light. The new lighting systems give the new T-Roc a unique signature from day and night light.
The body aerodynamics
10 percent improvement to the train coefficient. As a key factor for efficiency, the aerodynamics of the T-Roc in elaborate virtual river simulations and in real tests in the wind tunnel was refined. With a CD (Resistance coefficient) value of 0.29, it is 10 percent better than its predecessor. The end face of the new T-Roc (A) measures 2.40 m2Which is also an indicator of the sophisticated aerodynamics. These values were reached by numerous individual measures: on the front, the T-Roc is characterized by characteristics, which are called air leaves, wheel spoilers and shift elements for an optimized air flow around the bumper and the front wheels. In the rear area there is the elongated coupé-shaped roof with a spoiler and side spoiler of the roof edge, reducing air turbulence and thus have less resistance. The rear diffuser was also integrated to achieve ideal aerodynamics. Aerodynamic fine -tuning is extended to every detail of the body. It also contains the rims, the underbody of the T-Roc and its exterior mirrors; The latter come from Volkswagen's beacon of aerodynamic design, which ID.7. Special water laboratory in the A-pillar area, which are also aerodynamically efficient, optimize acoustics at high speeds.
