The German manufacturer – Volkswagen introduced the T-Roc SUV way back in March 2020. Launched as a CBU or Completely Built Unit, Volkswagen limited the sales of the T-Roc to just 1,000 units. All the units were sold out within a few months and Volkswagen stopped taking the official bookings in September last year.

The new T-Roc will be imported to the Indian market as a CBU too. That’s why it will be sold in limited numbers in the Indian market. Volkswagen takes advantage of the rule that allows a manufacturer to sell 2,500 units of a vehicle in a year without any homologation. Volkswagen has not revealed the exact number of units that will be sold in India. However, the number is expected to be limited to 1,000 units just like last time.
