The system pairs a 1.5-litre TSI Evo2 petrol engine with an electric motor and a battery that never needs plugging in. Three trims, Match, Style and R-Line, come with 136 or 170 horsepower, topping out at 40,500 pounds in R-Line form.

The full ladder: Match at 33,725 pounds, Style at 37,890 with 136 horsepower or 39,980 with 170, R-Line at 38,510 or 40,500. The hybrid premium over the equivalent eTSI mild hybrid is about 1,200 pounds, and for it the car can drive on electric power alone for short distances, the thing a mild hybrid can't do. Volkswagen showed the car earlier this year alongside a Golf Hybrid on the same formula, aimed squarely at buyers who want the fuel saving without the cable.

One set of numbers is missing, and it's the set that sells hybrids: Volkswagen hasn't published official WLTP fuel consumption or CO2 figures for the T-Roc Hybrid yet, so the efficiency gain over the mild-hybrid car it replaces in the brochure can't yet be stated in miles per gallon. The prices, the trims and the order date are all firm. The economy figure, the one number a hybrid buyer actually cross-shops, is the one still to come.
