New Volkswagen Cross Coupe SUV Concept Bows at 2011 Tokyo Motor Show



The Corner Coupé SUV idea is Volkswagen's delight first appearance for this year's Seattle Powerplant Show that started out (to the press) these days.

The In german car maker says that idea is a research for a prospective new CC-style SUV that "hints at how a cross-over between a four-door coupé and an SUV could look like" -think small BMW X6- while also previewing an developed kind of VW's present design vocabulary.

The idea is the first VW style based on the changeable new ‘modular transversus matrix’ or MQB program structure to be found to the public. The MQB case will be used in a number of VW Class designs including the next Golfing to the Mercedes TT's heir.

At 4,345 mm (171.0-in.) long, 1,868 mm (73.5-in.) large and 1,523 mm (59.9-in.) large, the Corner Coupé meets exactly in between the present Golfing hatchback and the Tiguan SUV in size. However, it's 2,630 mm (103.5-in.) wheelbase is 52 mm more time than the Golfing and 26 mm more time than the Tiguan, which not only gives it a more energetic appearance, but also allows develop inside room.

VW says that despite its fantastic looks, the Corner Coupé is also a competent off-roader style offering a 24.2-degree position of technique and 32.5-degree position of take a trip.

The four-seat Corner Coupé functions a multiple powertrain that links a TSI immediate treatment turbocompresseur gas engine to two electrical engines, one placed at the top side and the other at the back, which generate 54HP (40 kW) / 180 Nm of twisting and 114HP (85 kW) / 270 Nm respectively. The multiple body mixed result is 265-horsepower enabling the cross-over style to dash to 100km/h (62 mph) in seven mere a few moments en path to a top pace of 201km/h (125 mph).

VW says the idea can take a trip up to 40 distance (25 miles) on simply energy.

The Corner Coupé also functions a modern all-wheel generate system with an ‘electric generate shaft’, in which the back axle is motivated by the back motor unit. "In this scenario energy is provided to the back motor unit by the one at the top side, which during this stage functions as a power generator operated by the TSI engine," says Vw.

The treatment of the standard generate base granted VW to place the SUV's battery power program in the middle tube thus keeping room and enabling for a low middle of severity and a well nicely balanced distribute of axle running.
