The Volkswagen T-Roc is a compact crossover SUV (C-segment)[8][9] manufactured by German automaker Volkswagen. It was unveiled at the 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show, and launched in November 2017. It is based on the Volkswagen Group MQB A1 platform, and generally has been considered as the SUV equivalent of the C-segment Golf.[10][11] It is positioned between the Tiguan and the slightly smaller T-Cross,[12] while being approximately the same size as the Taigo.
