Only when you really push on and ask for extra shove does the engine make itself known; it seems VW has really put the effort in when it comes to sound insulation and gearbox tuning. When maximum performance is required, the combustion engine and the electric motor in our car combine for up to 168bhp. There will also be a lower-power model with 134bhp, though performance figures haven’t been revealed for either version as yet.
According to Jörg Theobald, Head of Development at VW, the company is “observing a desire for unchanged user behaviour across many markets” – insisting a full hybrid makes perfect sense.

“Lower running costs, an EV-like driving feel, and simple usability without needing charging infrastructure,” are all major plus points, according to Theobald. Currently, Toyota leads the charge with this technology: the Japanese firm reported global sales of around 4.4 million hybrid vehicles in 2025.
And exactly how much fuel does this set-up save compared with the mild-hybrid 1.5 eTSI? “We can’t provide fuel economy figures just yet, because homologation is still ongoing,” explains Theobald. “But naturally, the savings will be worth it, otherwise we wouldn’t be going to all this effort.”
The existing mild-hybrid T-Roc will officially return almost 50mpg, with CO2 emissions of around 130g/km. We expect improvements of around 10 per cent from the Hybrid, largely due to the car’s ability to run for extended periods on electric power alone. However, without a plug, this version isn’t likely to appeal to company-car drivers looking for a low BiK tax band.
The Hybrid will go on sale later this year, and although prices haven’t been locked in, they are expected to sit neatly between the mild-hybrid and plug-in hybrid options, suggesting a starting price (for the Golf Hybrid) of around £34,000. Like-for-like, the T-Roc costs roughly £5,000 more.
