The VW T-Roc Cabriolet is quite an oddity in the small SUV segment, mostly due to the car-like retractable fabric roof. While convertible SUVs are anything but unusual, the more urban approach of the T-Roc Cabriolet is what makes it stand out, and not always in a good way. Now Volkswagen is aiming to make it more appealing, at least to those interested in getting one, with the new limited production “Edition Grey” model, which features a matt grey exterior, the R-Line body kit, and a feature-heavy equipment list.
The highlight of the Edition Grey is the matt clear coat on the Indium Grey shade. According to Volkswagen, it offers the same level of protection as a conventional clear coat in terms of ultraviolet radiation and stone chipping. In this special VW T-Roc Cabriolet, the matt shade is combined with the sporty R-Line body kit and black accents inside-out.

Standard equipment includes a set of black 18-inch Grange Hill wheels, the Black Style package with a fancy rear spoiler, IQ. Light LED matrix headlights, the Discover Media infotainment, the IQ.Drive ADAS suite with the semi-autonomous Travel Assist, a heated steering wheel integrating the soon-to-be discontinued touch-sensitive controls, and a rearview camera.
The optional “Edition Plus” package adds black 19-inch Suzuka wheels, the flagship Discover Pro infotainment, the BeatsAudio sound system, and the Adaptive Chassis Control (DCC) for the suspension. A unique feature of all of the Edition Grey models is the numbered sills, showing that this is a limited offering.
The VW T-Roc Cabriolet Edition Grey is exclusively offered with the turbocharged 1.5-liter petrol engine producing 148 hp (110 kW / 150 PS). Power is transmitted to the front axle through a seven-speed DSG automatic.
The VW T-Roc Cabriolet Edition Grey will be produced in 999 units. The first deliveries are scheduled for February 2023. Pricing in Germany starts from €46,470 ($49,443) for the “Edition” trim, while the “Edition Plus” costs €51,600 ($54,910). The latter is more expensive than the closed-roof VW T-Roc R which costs €49,445 ($52,615) offering a significant amount of extra power and all-wheel-drive. Still, Volkswagen suggests that the Edition Grey models offer savings of €1,400 ($1,490) and €2,400 ($2,555) respectively compared to the equivalent R-Line Cabriolets.
