Any news on towing capacity (specifically tow ball weights)? I can't find anything even on overseas sites.

Road Vehicle Certification for T-Roc is here: T-Roc Road Vehicle Descriptor

This includes most of the vehicle specs/engine/transmission options that are approved for import into the country.

Thanks for that. Looks like I'll have to wait until the full specs come out!

You may not even get it then. It’ll be in the owners manual for the car.

I have been waiting for this car for it seems like ages now !

Driven one in England and Scotland, annoyed a dealer in Portugal and now so close ......

It would seem that at least initially there will be very limited choice, was hoping for R Line seats, a conservative upholstery choice in leather and electric tailgate without sunroof .....


They have spec'd the vehicle well with many of the toys, but unfortunately may have to wait for the production release ..... but then the R is likely to be just around the corner .....
