It's no secret that Volkswagen is one of the best-selling automotive brands in the world – heralded for its reliable vehicles and German engineering. Also true is the fact that a lot of car enthusiasts berate it as one of the most boring marques ever.
It seems that Volkswagen AG, the owner of numerous brands like Skoda, VW, Audi, Porsche, Ducati, or Bentley, likes to go to extremes – either it has dull creations or mind-bending exotics. Sometimes, it feels like there's little middle ground, especially when you look at Volkswagen and creations like the latest Tiguan or the little Taos.
They're hardly showstoppers, yet they do the things they're supposed to do with ease and poise. As such, it is no wonder that the rumor mill caught the 2025 Volkswagen Taos looking bolder while undergoing prototype testing. However, this time around – courtesy of the imaginative realm of digital car content creators, we are going to discuss the international entry-level compact crossover superstar from Volkswagen, the little T-Roc.
Introduced in 2017 on the Volkswagen Group MQB A1 platform, the compact CUV has taken Tiguan's place as the generally accepted equivalent of the compact Golf. It has been made available as a classic five-door SUV but also as a two-door convertible and is deeply related to a multitude of VAG products – VW Golf Mk7, VW Taos and Tharu, Seat Leon Mk3 and Ateca, Skoda Octavia Mk3 and Karoq, or even the Audi A3 Mk3 and Q2.
A forbidden fruit in the United States, where Volkswagen sells the slightly bigger Taos, the 2025 T-Roc continued testing in Europe in May – where it was caught by our spy photographer partners while delivering a sensor festival in the Alps to test its brakes. As such, we shouldn't be surprised that the imaginative realm of digital car content creators has caught up with Volkswagen's intentions to bring out the second-generation T-Roc.
So, the virtual artist behind Larson Design (aka lars_o_saeltzer on social media) is keen on bringing his CGI vision of the upcoming VW T-Roc II to life. Naturally, it's safe to assume that the underpinnings will borrow heavily from the Volkswagen Golf Mk8, and it's great that the compact crossover SUV is coming after the latter had its mid-cycle refresh and enough time to come up with solutions to its many initial problems.
As for the design, the pixel master is 'back to basics' with simple styling for the VW T-Roc II, but it still manages to make it look cuter than most other Volkswagen AG crossovers. Additionally, the CGI expert believes the new generation will keep its ICE credentials and arrive complete with mild and full hybrid options along with another incarnation of the high-performance R model. So, what do you think?
