Launched in 2017, and developed based on the MQB platform, the Volkswagen T-Roc it is positioned in the Volkswagen range above the new T-Cross and below the Tiguan. To know what the 1.5 TSI version of the SUV produced in Palmela is worth, the T-Roc was the protagonist of our latest video.
At a time when diesel engines have been losing more and more ground, Guilherme tested the T-Roc in its most powerful variant (not counting the 300 hp R version) equipped with the 150 hp 1.5 TSI , in this case associated with the seven-speed DSG gearbox.
Equipped with the ACT cylinder active management system, the 1.5 TSI is capable of deactivating two of the four cylinders . Now, as Guilherme was able to prove in this video, the biggest reflection of this technology is in consumption which in the tested version are around 7.1 l/100km with emissions staying at 161 g/km.

Speaking of benefits, when equipped with the 1.5 TSI, the T-Roc is capable of fulfilling 0 to 100 km/h in 8.5s and reaches 205 km/h . If it's true that these aren't impressive numbers, it can't be said that they embarrass the SUV produced in Palmela either.
