Volkswagen has teased a new concept SUV that it will unveil at the 2016 Beijing Auto Show later this month. It is expected to be a premium vehicle and gives us an idea of the direction which the automaker is taking with its future lineup.
The shadowy images reveal the SUV silhouette but with all the familiar VW design elements like the grille, headlights and C-shaped LED DRLs. We can also see indicators on the ORVMs and heavily flared wheel arches. The tail lamps are unique and are made up of OLEDs that can light up in a unique pattern. There are no images of the cabin but VW indicates that this car will get the active info display and possibly autonomous driving options.
It is expected to be a plug-in hybrid model whose combined output will be 376bhp and around 699Nm of torque, though the company has not specified the capacity of the ICE and electric motor. The hybrid duo will have a fuel efficiency of 27kmpl while pure electric range is expected to be 50km. Other numbers available indicate a 0-100kmph time of six seconds and a top speed of around 233kmph.
The car will be revealed on April 25, the first press day for the 2016 Beijing Auto Show.
