The flagship Volkswagen T-Roc 140TSI R-Line will ditch its capacitive steering wheel buttons for 2024.
Pricing and details for the MY24 T-Roc range will be detailed later this year, but the steering wheel swap is the sole spec switch for VW's best-in-class small SUV.
The T-Roc joins the Polo small car and ID.3 electric car in ditching the controversial capacitive controls. For now, there is stock of existing MY23 models at drive-away prices (detailed below), including the new CityLife, available at Volkswagen dealers.
“There remains strong MY23 stock in Volkswagen dealerships, and this will continue through 2023”, a Volkswagen Australia spokesperson told Wheels.
Our original story, below, continues unchanged.
2023 Volkswagen T-Roc pricing and features
Snapshot
- Previously optional equipment now standard for Style and R-Line
- $54,300 R Grid Edition dropped
- Price rises of up to $1890; "ongoing" drive-away pricing
The 2023 Volkswagen T-Roc small SUV has gone on sale with more equipment for some variants, with corresponding price increases – but also drive-away pricing across the board.
A CityLife variant joins temporarily as a new lower entry point to the range, priced from $35,990 RRP or $36,990 drive-away. It will be offered into early 2024 as a bridging model to the smaller T-Cross SUV, which costs up to $33,490 and is due to arrive mid 2024 in facelifted form.
Disappearing from the line-up is the R Grid Edition that was a more affordable, de-specced version of the flagship T-Roc R.
The spec/price revisions are centred around the T-Roc 110TSI Style and 140TSI R-Line.
Pricing for the T-Roc 110TSI Style is up $1790 to $38,890 before on-road costs – but it now features the Sound & Vision package as standard, which retailed for $2050. "Ongoing" drive-away pricing for the Style is $41,990.
Newly added features include a larger 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, satellite navigation and built-in voice control.
Blind-spot and rear cross-traffic alerts have also returned to the T-Roc Style and R-Line, after the technology was temporarily deleted from select Volkswagen vehicles in late 2022 to avoid extended wait times caused by the industry-wide semiconductor chip shortage.
The mid-spec T-Roc 140TSI R-Line AWD now features standard-fit equipment limited to the Luxury Package, including Nappa leather upholstery, heated front seats, and an eight-way power-adjustable driver’s seat with two-position memory function.
While the R-Line’s now-deleted Luxury Package retailed for $3950, the updated T-Roc R-Line costs $1890 more than before, at $47,090 before on-road costs or $51,990.
“Given its popularity in Australia, we can now offer desirable items as standard on the T-Roc Style and T-Roc R-Line for a smaller premium than the previous optioned versions,” said Volkswagen Australia’s passenger vehicles director, Michal Szaniecki.
There are no changes to the Volkswagen T-Roc R range-topper, which costs $61,990 before on-road charges, or $64,990 drive-away.
Year-to-date to end of August, the T-Roc is just ahead of the Tiguan medium SUV as VW's most popular model in Australia.
The updated 2023 Volkswagen T-Roc will arrive in local showrooms in September – joining the CityLife special edition – with pre-update stock also due before then.
