The T-Roc Cabriolet is the only convertible Volkswagen sells.
Weak demand is forcing VW to reduce production.
The crossover-cabrio will be retired by mid-2027.
As if we needed more proof that demand for convertibles keeps slipping, Volkswagen is scaling down production of the only car it sells with a folding roof. Then again, the T-Roc Cabriolet is no ordinary open-top model. It looks like someone took an image of the regular crossover and ran it through an AI with the prompt: “make it a convertible.”
A mainstream successor to the Evoque Convertible, the T-Roc with a fabric roof is struggling. Reuters has learned from a VW spokesperson that the traditional summer holiday at the Osnabrück factory will be extended by a week. Looking ahead, there will be even more days when no vehicle rolls off the assembly line at the German site.
