Thanks to the rise of the SUV boom in the global market, the convertibles that are popular in the European market are also shifting to convertible SUV models, for example, Volkswagen has launched a small crossover tour - T-ROC Cabriolet to replace the Golf cabriolet.
With the T-ROC Cabriolet listed overseas for a long time, there are suspected domestic new car declaration charts have been exposed recently, which also indicates that the new car is expected to be introduced in China, after all, the Volkswagen T-ROC corresponding to the Volkswagen T-ROC has achieved domestic production.
Judging from the patent diagram, the new car as a whole continues the design of the overseas version of the model, which is also the T-ROC design after the mid-term redesign, and the T-ROC probe song currently on sale in China is still an old model, and the gap between the new and old models is mainly reflected in the details of the front and rear styling.
However, the convertible version also offers both the Normal version and the R-Line, with the latter being more sporty in visuals.
Since the car is a T-ROC convertible version, the biggest difference between the new car and the regular version is that it is a two-door model, and it is replaced by a soft-top convertible design, but still maintains a four-seat layout.
Therefore, the T-ROC convertible version is also significantly inferior to the ordinary version in terms of size performance, the car is 4271/4286*1811*1527mm, wheelbase is 2630mm, while FAW-Volkswagen T-Roc Tange is 4318/4326*1819*1582mm, and the wheelbase is 2680mm.
In terms of interior, the interior has been redesigned because the T-ROC convertible version on the patent diagram is a mid-term redesign.
The new suspension central control screen is combined with the new three-spoke steering wheel, which makes the air conditioning outlet and air conditioning control area in the car have obvious changes.
The back row can be seen as just enough performance, after all, the reduction of size will inevitably make the space performance greatly reduced.
In terms of power, the Tange Convertible edition is equipped with a 1.0T three-cylinder engine and a 1.5T four-cylinder engine overseas, and is matched with a 6-speed manual or 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, and the high-end model also supports a 4MOTION four-wheel drive system.
If the domestic introduction can really be realized, it is expected to use a 1.5T + 7-speed dual-clutch power combination, after all, the price of imported models needs the support of better performance, not to mention that 1.0T is still a three-cylinder engine, and the domestic acceptance is not high.
Although the price of the T-ROC convertible version in Europe is not low at a price of 31,850 euros (220,500 yuan), if the car is really to be introduced into the country, it is believed that the price will be further increased, so the competitors of the car will include MINI COOPER CABRIO, BMW 2 Series Convertible And other models.
BMW 2 Series Convertible
Guidance price: 30.98-33.98 million yuan
MINI COOPER CABRIO
Guidance price: 29.78-37.18 million yuan
In view of the emergence of T-ROC Cabriolet to replace the Golf convertible version, so the market performance of the new car will be similar to the Golf convertible version, after all, the purchase of a golf at a starting price of 340,000 is believed to be only a few people, even if the Tange convertible version is Volkswagen's first SUV convertible model, but the convertible car is always a minority in China.
Some analysts believe that the patent diagram of the car in China may be to prevent plagiarism from other manufacturers, so it will take the lead in applying for a new car patent.
