Volkswagen wanted to keep it a secret, but we already know everything about the new T-Roc hybrid
It has just been launched and is already going on sale in Europe. The new Volkswagen T-Roc aims to be a best-seller, not only with its design and technology but also with an engine range of which we already know how its innovative HEV hybrids are. A leak has revealed them.
Surely you have thought about the new Volkswagen T-Roc. The second generation of this successful model from the German brand is starting its launch in different European countries, so it is only a matter of time before prices for Spain are announced. For now, we know that our Italian neighbors will be the first to receive units.
But beyond the important change that this new Volkswagen T-Roc has undergone and the great technological load it will offer, it is its engines that are attracting the most attention. As we have been telling you during its development, those from Wolfsburg had decided to do without diesel engines, opting to offer low-emission technology with unprecedented hybrids that are also being developed for the new generation of the Golf.
Volkswagen debuts in HEV hybrid technology
Some HEV engines that have leaked online in official documents from the German firm. Some slides that are in German, but we have managed to decipher, and as we already informed you, these new self-recharging hybrids, the first from Volkswagen, are based on the manufacturer's best-selling gasoline engine, the 1.5 TSI Evo 2.
A block that is associated with a very compact hybrid module, with an electric motor that drives the front wheels and a high-voltage battery, located under the trunk and above the rear axle, which improves weight distribution and the vehicle's ground clearance. Volkswagen is using the 150 hp block for these hybrids, to which it has associated an electric motor.
The most efficient T-Rocs are confirmed, and they will be worth the wait
Thanks to this, the innovative hybrids develop two power levels, to choose from 136 hp and 177 hp, both with a torque of 306 Nm. Volkswagen has decided that these two more efficient versions will remain front-wheel drive, reserving the all-wheel drive system 4MOTION for the 2.0-liter TSI that will arrive with 204 hp.
Volkswagen has addressed what was an open secret, practically confirmed, but leaving one more detail in the air, and one of the most important: the battery capacity and electric range. The Germans are keeping this secret - like the fuel consumption, which will be around 4.5 liters - for when they launch the first Volkswagen T-Roc hybrid. If you are interested, we regret to inform you that you will have to wait until the end of 2026…
