Although not officially confirmed, it's quite likely that Volkswagen will attend GIMS 2019 with R's concept crossoverr and later on will showcase the production vehicle.

Judging by the teaser image, released by the German automaker, R's exterior will not differ much from the standard T-Roc.

However, according to unofficial sources, the future T-Roc R crossover will be equipped with a 2,0-litres 4-cylinder, generating approximately 300 hp, paired with a 7-speed automatic transmission. What's even more, Volkswagen's new T-Roc will get a 4Motion AWD, plus a revised suspension. Obvious changes are made in the dimensions, compared with the 2017 T-Roc:

• 4234 mm length (252 mm shorter than the standard T-Roc)
• 1819 mm width (11 mm wider than before)
• 445-litres trunk volume (and could increase up to 1290-litres when back seats are folded)

Volkswagen is expected to show the concept during the first opening days of GIMS 2019.
