Volkswagen T-Roc SE cars

What is the Volkswagen T-Roc SE?

A Volkswagen T-Roc is either a large crossover or small SUV, depending on which way you look at it. It shares many parts with the Golf, so think of it as a family hatchback on stilts.

SE trim is a popular choice for Volkswagen owners, including T-Roc buyers, because it comes with more than just the essentials, but at a reasonable price.

Apart from the choice of petrol and diesel engines, you can also have your T-Roc with the roof chopped off, because this stylish SUV also has a convertible model.

What are the Volkswagen T-Roc SE specs?

As well as the basic 115hp 1.0-litre petrol and 1.6-litre diesel engines that you get on the entry-level model, buying an SE trim unlocks a few other options.

With a T-Roc SE, you can also choose a 150hp engine, either with power coming from a 1.5-litre petrol or a 2.0-litre diesel unit.

You can have these more powerful options with a manual gearbox or with Volkswagen’s smooth-shifting DSG automatic gearbox.

Used Volkswagen T-Roc SE features and equipment

Every Volkswagen T-Roc comes with alloy wheels, dual-zone climate control and an eight-inch touchscreen infotainment system.

Upgrading to the SE model gets you extras like front and rear parking sensors, adaptive cruise control and a few styling tweaks.

A used Volkswagen T-Roc SE also has an improved media system, so you can use connectivity options like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Where the T-Roc SE sits in the Volkswagen range

The Volkswagen T-Roc range starts off with the S model, with SE representing the next choice up.

Above that are Design and SEL cars, plus the sporty-looking R-Line and performance T-Roc R model.

Facelifted T-Roc models come with Life, Match, Style, R-Line and R trim options, so if you’re looking at a newer model, consider swapping out the SE for a Life.
