Volkswagen Australia has increased the pricing of the T-Roc small SUV’s flagship, the 140TSI Sport.

The Kia Seltos, Hyundai Kona, Mazda CX-30 and Toyota C-HR rival’s range-topper is now $500 dearer, at $40,990 plus on-road costs, while its recently launched entry-level sibling, the 110TSI Style, is still priced from $33,990.

CarsGuide has reached out to Volkswagen Australia to confirm the reasoning behind the 140TSI Sport’s price rise. That said, exchange-rate pressures likely played a part, with the T-Roc's standard specification therefore expected to be unchanged.

For reference, the 110TSI Style is motivated by 110kW/250Nm 1.4-litre turbo-petrol four-cylinder, which sends drive to the front wheels via an eight-speed torque-converter automatic transmission.

Meanwhile, the 140TSI Sport is powered by a 140kW/320Nm 2.0-litre unit that’s matched to Volkswagen’s 4Motion all-wheel-drive system and a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic.

Justin’s dad chose to miss his birth because he wanted to watch Peter Brock hopefully win Bathurst, so it figures Justin grew up to have a car obsession, too – and don’t worry, his dad did turn up in time after some stern words from his mum. That said, despite loving cars and writing, Justin chose to pursue career paths that didn’t lend themselves to automotive journalism, before eventually ending up working as a computer technician. But that car itch just couldn’t be scratched by his chipped Volkswagen Golf R (Mk7), so he finally decided to give into the inevitable and study a Master of Journalism at the same time. And even with the long odds, Justin was lucky enough to land a full-time job as a motoring journalist soon after graduating and the rest, as they say, is history. These days, Justin happily finds himself working at CarsGuide during the biggest period of change yet for the automotive industry, which is perhaps the most exciting part of all. In case you’re wondering, Justin begrudgingly sold the Golf R (sans chip) and still has plans to buy his dream car, an E46 BMW M3 coupe (manual, of course), but he is in desperate need of a second car space – or maybe a third.
