Back in March 2020, Volkswagen launched the T-Roc in the Indian market. However, the German carmaker would only import 1000 units of the vehicles. After almost five months, 100 units of the Volkswagen T-Roc has been sold out. The company also confirmed that the booking for the T-Roc is now officially closed. From the beginning, Volkswagen only offers the compact SUV with one single variant priced at Rs 19.99 lakh (ex-showroom).

Under the new regulation passed by the Indian government, each foreign car manufacturer is entitled to importing 2000 units without local homologation. In Volkswagen’s case, the German car brand has utilized this opportunity to import 1000 units of Volkswagen T-Roc to India market via the CBU (Completely Built Unit) route.

Volkswagen T-Roc made its debut at the 2020 Auto Expo this year. The SUV caught the attention for the visitor thanks to its distinctive styling with robust design elements like large wheel arches as well as the coupe-ish roofline and sloping rear windscreen.
