Introducing an elevated power to the equation, the new ‘baby R’ T-Roc R (from $68,990 + ORCs) offers further impressive upgrades to its driving dynamics and infotainment system, with enhanced performance-themed interior styling and exterior design to bring added adrenaline to everyday driving.

Other adornments include specifically designed front and rear bumpers, air intakes, blue brake callipers with the ‘R’ logo, and a body-coloured rear spoiler.
Ensuring sporty styling and feel are the 19” Estoril Alloy Wheels and the choice of an optional Akrapovič titanium sports exhaust to add that special ‘pop and crackle’ to lend a deeper, throatier sound to the whole driving experience.
