Volkswagen announces the end of the T-Roc Cabriolet and other changes to its lineup by 2027 (Volkswagen Newsroom)
Volkswagen will end production of its only convertible model, the T-Roc Cabrio, by 2027. Manufactured in Osnabrück, Germany, this crossover with an electric retractable roof was an alternative to the Eos and marks the end of an era for the brand’s convertibles.
The automaker is still considering how to repurpose the factory after the model is discontinued. Another car produced at the same site, the Arteon Shooting Brake, will also be discontinued in 2026, while the liftback version was discontinued in 2023.
The restructuring of VW’s portfolio has also affected other models. The Passat is now available only as a station wagon in Europe but remains popular as a sedan in China. The Polo, though threatened by the electric hatchback ID.2, will continue production until 2030 due to relaxed emission rules. The Golf will have its production moved to Mexico in 2027 but will return to Wolfsburg as an electric model by the end of the decade.
In addition to changes to its catalog, Volkswagen is reducing its workforce in Germany, with cuts of more than 35,000 employees expected by 2030. These measures are part of an effort to focus on the transition to electric vehicles and streamline the production line, reflecting the company’s strategy to meet the demands of the global market.
