Volkswagen AG will roll out its smallest sport utility vehicle yet, offering optional flair like different colors for the roof and body, as the carmaker seeks to catch up with rivals in the fast-growing segment.

In addition to two-tone paint jobs, options include a fully digital cockpit display and 8-inch screens. Apple Inc.’s Beats Electronics LLC offers a 300-watt, 8-channel sound system tailored to the car’s interior. The VW T-Roc, priced at about 20,000 euros ($23,600), is set to reach European showrooms in November and then go on sale in almost all major markets worldwide.
