Spy Shots showing a completely naked Volkswagen T-Roc testing in China. The T-Roc will have its international debut in August September. It will be manufactured in China by FAW-Volkswagen joint venture.
The T-Roc is based on the MQB (A0) platform and shares much of its underpinnings with the Volkswagen Golf. In China the T-Roc will be available with a 110hp 1.2 turbo, a 131hp 1.4 turbo, and a 150hp 1.5 turbo, and probably with the 220hp 2.0 turbo of the China-made Golf GTI.
