Slightly than merely eradicating the roof of the usual T-Roc, Volkswagen has drastically altered the automobile’s construction and physique. In actual fact, its wheelbase is 37 mm longer than the usual T-Roc whereas its total size is up by 34 mm. As well as, the Volkswagen T-Roc Cabriolet options structural strengthening within the underbody, facet panels, cross members, doorways, and windscreen body to make up for the dearth of a roof.
The folding cloth roof developed by Volkswagen retracts in simply 9 seconds at speeds of as much as 19 mph (30.5 km/h) and is analogous in operation to the roof of the outgoing Golf Cabriolet.
