    Available in only those two trim levels, buyers can also choose from two petrol engines; a 113bhp 1.0-litre TSI producing 200Nm of torque, and a 1.5TSI delivering 148bhp and 250Nm of torque. The latter is available with a 7-speed DSG transmission — a £1500 option — in addition to 6-speed manual versions of both.

    Aside from the fabric folding roof — which can be lowered in nine seconds and raised in 11 seconds — the T-Roc Cabriolet is distinct from the standard T-Roc in its two-door body style and its wheelbase, which has been extended by 40mm compared with its five-door, solid-roof sibling. This allows maximum room for passengers in the cabin, as well as a useful 284-litre boot capacity. (Related: VW reveals all-new Golf MkVIII)

Among the arsenal of driver assistance systems included on the Design trim Cabriolet are Front Assist with pedestrian monitoring, Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Lane Assist and a driver alertness monitor with fatigue detection.

    R-Line trim inherits the conventional T-Roc R-Line’s 19in ‘Suzuka’ wheels, although another set of attractive 19in ‘San Marino’ alloys are an option, and exclusive to the T-Roc Cabriolet. The R-Line also gets VW’s Active Info Display fitted as standard, in addition to bespoke R-Line trim pieces and features across the interior, including sports seats embroidered with the R logo, and a sports steering wheel. On the outside, this trim level is distinguished by an aggressive R-Line body kit, fog lights with static cornering function, LED headlights and sports suspension, which is lowered by 20mm compared with the standard running gear of the T-Roc.

    “The T-Roc Cabriolet is uniquely positioned to pick up where the Golf and Beetle Cabriolet models left off,” Claire Haynes, T-Roc Product Manager, said. “As per its Golf-based predecessor, the T-Roc Cabriolet offers a wind-in-the-hair experience while driving one of Europe’s best-selling models. A duo of stylish specifications and a trio of engine and gearbox configurations keep things simple.”
