Hot new Volkswagen T-Roc R due 2027 with 328bhp

Next T-Roc R will use Golf R engine updated with mild-hybrid assistance

The second-generation Volkswagen T-Roc R will arrive in 2027 using the same drivetrain as the latest Golf R, updated with the addition of mild hybridisation.
The electrical element will not boost the engine’s outputs beyond the current 328bhp and 295lb ft but instead ensures its compliance with the forthcoming Euro 7 emissions regulations.
The upgraded engine is combined with a standard seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox and the latest version of Volkswagen’s multi-plate-clutch four-wheel drive system.
As with the Golf R, buyers will be offered the option of a titanium Akrapovic exhaust system with four tailpipes.
Key changes for the new T-Roc R include a move onto the MQB Evo platform, which also underpins the current Passat, Tiguan and Golf.
This brings a significantly wider track than on the outgoing T-Roc, promising more lateral grip. Autocar understands it will also use components from the Golf GTI Edition 50,
