Volkswagen has unveiled the new T-Roc R Black Edition, an upgraded version of the regular T-Roc R. This sporty compact crossover features black exterior trim on the side mirror casings, roof rails, and other parts. It also comes with 19-inch Estoril alloys with a black finish for a sleek look.
One of the standout features of the T-Roc R Black Edition is the addition of a large sliding panoramic sunroof, perfect for enjoying the open air while driving. Inside, the compact crossover offers heated front seats and a Beats audio system with a digital eight-channel amplifier, subwoofer, and six speakers. The standard reversing camera provides added convenience.
Under the hood, the T-Roc R Black Edition is powered by a 2.0-liter TSI gasoline engine, delivering 296 hp and 295 pound-foot of torque. Paired with a 7-speed automatic transmission and the brand’s 4Motion all-wheel-drive system, this crossover can accelerate from 0-62 mph in just 4.9 seconds and reach a top speed of 155 mph.
