Volkswagen T-Roc Cabriolet 2020–2021 car dimensions: 4268 mm long, 1811 mm wide and 1522 mm high. Unladen weight is 1,487 kg. Braked towing is 1,500 kg.
The cabin has an 8-inch touchscreen as standard with App-Connect for wireless Apple CarPlay and wired Android Auto. Dual-zone Climatronic climate control is standard. Adaptive cruise control with Front Assist city emergency braking is standard, as are front and rear parking sensors and Lane Assist. Blind spot warning and reversing camera are available on higher trims or as options. The setup suits daily drives with solid phone integration and basic aids for motorway and city use.
Boot space is 284 litres with seats up, the same whether the roof is up or down. Rear seats fold 50/50 for longer items through a load-through hatch. The opening is narrow with a high lip, so it holds a couple of suitcases for weekends but feels tight for bulkier loads.
Towing is rated up to 1500 kg braked and 750 kg unbraked depending on engine, with a removable towbar available as an option. Payload sits around 370 kg. R-Line adds sports suspension lowered by 20 mm, but no heavy-duty cooling is listed. It works for light trailers or occasional loads rather than heavy work use.
The cabin offers a raised driving position with comfortable front seats that provide good lateral support and manual height adjustment as standard. Easy-entry sliding front seats aid rear access in this four-seater. Two-zone climate control is fitted, and the multi-layered fabric soft top keeps wind and road noise low when raised, feeling nearly as quiet as a fixed-roof model. Optional Vienna leather adds heated front sports seats with lumbar adjustment, while the leather-trimmed multifunction steering wheel and quality materials create a solid, practical feel for open-top driving.
Petrol engines only: 1.0 TSI or 1.5 TSI.
Official combined fuel use from 5.4-5.8 l/100 km.
Service intervals up to 2 years or 30,000 km.
3-year/60,000-mile warranty standard.
Standard safety includes Front Assist emergency braking, Lane Assist and Driver Alert.
Rollover protection system with deployable bars behind rear seats.
Fuel comes from petrol TSI engines only, a 1.0-litre three-cylinder or 1.5-litre four-cylinder, both front-wheel drive. Official combined consumption sits between 5.4 and 5.8 litres per 100 km depending on the unit and gearbox, with CO2 from 123 to 132 g/km. Real-world figures tend higher but remain reasonable for an open-top crossover.
Servicing follows Volkswagen’s fixed or flexible regime, with oil and inspection services due at a maximum of every two years or 30,000 km. A three-year/60,000-mile warranty applies along with three-year paint and 12-year body protection cover. Roadside assistance is included and fixed-price service plans are available.
Safety kit is strong as standard with Front Assist including City emergency braking and pedestrian detection, Lane Assist, Driver Alert fatigue detection, multi-collision braking and ESC. The structure gains reinforcements and a reversible automatic rollover protection system that deploys plates behind the rear seats. The related hard-top T-Roc scored five Euro NCAP stars in 2017.
Living with the car is straightforward thanks to the electro-hydraulic soft top that opens in nine seconds and closes in eleven, even on the move up to 30 km/h. The 280-284 litre boot and split-folding rear seats add practicality, while galvanised body and standard tyre mobility kit help keep ownership simple.
