Yes, we will see one more convertible crossover in the coming years. The “cabriolet SUV” trend is growing fast and, we are afraid, it’s not going to stop anytime soon. After Nissan’s Murano and Range Rover Evoque convertibles one more automaker will build the “thing”. The buyers will be able to the Volkswagen T-Roc Convertible sometime in 2020. This is the official information from VW, so it’s going to happen for sure. Moreover, the German car manufacturer has released a single teaser sketch already.
According to the latest reports, the 2020 Volkswagen T-Roc Convertible is going to look pretty much the same as the T-Cross Breeze concept. Though, the production model is going to feature a usual folding top, which will look pretty much the same as Evoque’s.

Even though it seems like a bad idea to us to build any kind of a cabriolet crossover, the car manufacturer is pretty serious in the intention. Moreover, they are investing around $100 million in the drop-top T-Roc. Judging by the renderings, the 2020 Volkswagen T-Roc Convertible will have two doors only. The sketch shows pretty dynamic bodywork but it’s better to wait for the actual vehicle to see the design.
As far as we think, the cabriolet will share pretty much everything with the regular model, including the same design, footprint, and engines. It will also get a pretty colorful interior treatment with a wide range of infotainment and entertainment features. Read More
The interesting crossover is going to rely on two engines. The potential buyers will likely be able to choose between a turbocharged 2.0-liter diesel inline-four rated at 150 horsepower and a turbocharged 2.0-liter gasoline engine that delivers 190 horsepower. Both of them are going to be mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic and standard 4Motion all-wheel drive.
