These are the first teaser images of a new VW concept, which will be presented on April 25, at the 2016 Beijing Auto Show.
Design-wise, it has angular headlights with LED technology, joined by an LED strip in the front grille, C-shaped DRLs and wide shoulder lines with its styling seemingly mimicking the new Tiguan compact SUV. Open the door and you will be greeted by a heavy digitized, lounge-style interior sporting a new advanced infotainment system.
The release states it is powered by a plug-in hybrid powertrain with a total output of 376 HP (381 PS) and 516 lb-ft (700 Nm) of torque that allows it to sprint from naught to 60 mph (96 km/h) in 6.0 seconds and up to a top speed of 139 mph (224 km/h).
The SUV concept has an electric driving range of up to 31 miles (50 km) and the predicted NEDC combined fuel consumption is 78 mpg US (3 lt/100 km).
Volkswagen didn’t have anything else to say on the Beijing Concept for the moment, but it probably offers us a glimpse of the next generation of the Touareg, which is due for a 2017 launch.
