Bummer!! Especially for all those that had pre-ordered cars.

Interesting it does get the R-Line badge on the side in real life, that is not evident on the Pre-Release order pages
But overall very nice.
Apparently there will be a trim alternative with a bit of luck ...post the release model

Thanks for the photos. That does look quite smart. I'm tossing up whether to get one of these for my next car. The exterior looks great - just have to wait and see how the interiors are.

Thank you for posting photos!
This looks bloody amazing. They’ve put the R/GTI steering wheel in it for Australian spec, thank god for that.
The seats- they don’t look too bad actually, though I personally hate the two tone trim. White, what are they thinking!
Did they have any others there or just the red one?
Lots of new reviews up online from the local launch. Mostly positive.

Just found the new engine/gearbox spec for the entry level T-Roc coming here. It'll be a 110TSI 1.4 turbo petrol with 8 speed auto. Pretty sure it's not a DSG box so must be a smaller traditional auto box.

I have thought for some time that the DSG might be phased out with Audi leading the charge and VW not game enough to put one in the US made Tiguan. It's sole reason for existing is slowly disappearing as new torque converter boxes get more efficient with electronic control in all of them.
