Volkswagen T‑Roc Cabrio lives on: production until 2027

Volkswagen is gradually bidding farewell to the era of convertibles, yet one of the brand’s most unconventional models—the T‑Roc Cabrio—has unexpectedly earned a stay of execution. Production was originally slated to end in 2025, but the Osnabrück plant, which specializes in soft‑top cars, secured a reprieve. First the deadline moved to the summer of 2027; now it has been pushed to the end of 2027.

There won’t be a full refresh: the T‑Roc Cabrio will keep rolling off the line as it stands, with no changes to design, hardware, or equipment. Builds will be made only to order, and in some markets the model is already disappearing. In the Netherlands it can no longer be ordered—the local allocation has been exhausted, and Volkswagen sees no point in extending supply. In Spain and other southern countries, by contrast, interest remains steady.

The T‑Roc Cabrio’s momentum is no accident. Over six years in Europe it has become a sought‑after niche choice, especially for rental fleets on Mediterranean resorts, where the appetite for affordable convertibles has long stayed high. That reality has kept the model alive far longer than expected, even as Volkswagen’s attention pivots to crossovers and EVs—a pragmatic decision that suits sunny markets and spreadsheet logic alike.

As a result, the T‑Roc Cabrio—heir to the Beetle Cabrio, Golf Cabrio, and Eos—has outlasted timelines predicted even inside the company, standing as the brand’s last convertible and a rare holdout that looks set to remain on sale for nearly a decade.
