The Volkswagen T-Roc small SUV has gained a new special edition with a lower price and fewer features, due in showrooms this September.
The 2023 Volkswagen T-Roc CityLife edition – a new, cheaper entry-level model – has been announced for Australia ahead of first showroom arrivals in September “in significant numbers”.
Priced from $35,990 plus on-road costs, the new CityLife is $1110 cheaper than the current T-Roc 110TSI Style base model – which Volkswagen hit with a $500 price rise at the start of this year.
Compared to the Style it rides on 17-inch alloy wheels instead of 18s, uses less advanced reflector-type LED headlights (instead of projector-type ‘Performance’ LED units), and features different cloth seat upholstery and a black grille (instead of chrome).
It also deletes chrome roof rails, a drive mode selector, black door mirrors and roof, and rear privacy glass (tinted rear-side windows).
However like the Style model above it, the T-Roc CityLife is not available with blind-spot monitoring or rear cross-traffic alert, which have been unavailable on the T-Roc Style and R-Line since late last year.
Standard safety features on the CityLife and Style include autonomous emergency braking (AEB), lane-keep assist, adaptive cruise control, lane centring assist (Travel Assist), front and rear parking sensors with low-speed AEB, automatic parking, and a rear-view camera.
Other standard features on the CityLife include an 8.0-inch infotainment touchscreen with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and digital radio, keyless (proximity key) entry, push-button start, an 8.0-inch instrument display, and a wireless phone charging pad.
It is also equipped with dual-zone climate control, leather-wrapped steering wheel with paddle shifters, “Comfort” cloth seat trim, front-seat lumbar adjustment, and cream headlining. The only option is $700 metallic or pearl-effect paint.
The CityLife shares the Style’s 1.4-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine with 110kW and 250Nm, driving the front wheels through an eight-speed automatic transmission.
The 2023 Volkswagen T-Roc CityLife is available to order now, ahead of first showroom arrivals due in September 2023.
