2026 VW T-Roc images leaked

The next generation of VW's best-selling SUV has been leaked on social media ahead of its official reveal.
Pictures of the 2026 VW T-Roc compact SUV have been posted on social media revealing the second-generation's front and side profile design.
The images shared on Instagram account rollendreporter show what is claimed to be the next T-Roc – a rival to the Toyota Corolla Cross and Kia Seltos – expected to be revealed later this year before arriving in Australian showrooms in early 2026.
While appearing to be a high-spec trim level – perhaps the flagship T-Roc R – the pictures show core design of the five-door T-Roc SUV hasn't changed since it was caught testing with light camouflage in the European Alps early 2024.
Yet the larger alloy wheels and aggressive front bumper treatment suggests it may be the flagship T-Roc R – which in the current line-up uses a 221kW/400Nm 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine – with the styling treatment is also likely to be used on the R-Line, too.
Expected to carry over the same MQB Evo platform – which the existing T-Roc shares with the Mk 8.5 VW Golf currently in showrooms – the core dimensions including cargo space and passenger room should also be largely unchanged.
Lower spec versions of the second-generation T-Roc will continue with the current version's 1.4-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine, which in the entry-level CityLife trim level delivers 110kW/250Nm with a more potent 140kW/320Nm tune in the T-Roc R-Line.
The seven-speed automatic will also continue for both front-wheel and all-wheel drive models, which have been part of the line-up since the T-Roc was introduced in Australia in 2020.
The T-Roc was Volkswagen Australia's best-selling SUV in 2024, and second only to the Amarok dual-cab ute overall – which shares its underpinnings with the Ford Ranger – in the German brand's local line-up.
