Volkswagen Concept A
Volkswagen Unveils 2007 Concept A Crossover (Golf SUV?) As anticipated, Volkswagen today unveiled a new SUV crossover called the 2007 Concept A at a press conference in Berlin. The concept car — on display at the Geneva Motor Show later this month — is the design basis for the 2007 Golf SUV, according to VW. The car has a coupe-like appearance, no b-pillar, and rear opposing suicide doors. Under the hood is a 150 horsepower TDI engine mated to a six-speed DSG transmission. The Concept A uses the new 1.5-liter Twincharger engine, but the upcoming model, possibly called the Marrakesh, will also put VWs lovely 2.0-liter FSI Turbo and a diesel to use. The new model will most likely be based off the Golf platform and will fit in the VW line-up under the Touareg and would be priced against the Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V. VW said the Concept A should be regarded as an indicator of where the design is headed. The production model will be less coupe-like, but similar in design language and proportions. The front fascia and bold wheel arches are here to stay, but the production model will have a b-pillar for structural rigidity, and will have standard doors. This is a cool-looking truck, and we are excited to see the final product when it comes on the scene in 2007. At 4,348 mm long and 1,854 mm wide, Concept A is 144 mm longer and 95 mm wider then the Golf Mk V. The height of Concept A is 1,551 mm, compared with 1,485 for the Golf; while its 2,602 mm wheelbase is 24 mm longer than the Golf’s. At the rear, Concept A has a practical hatchback tailgate; but this is coupled to a pick-up style fold-down rear section beneath the rear LED light clusters. This hatch can be opened independently and remain open while driving so long loads can be carried. This things got twin-chargers! I love that. I think this concept looks great. I wonder if the final version will look just as good. What do you think? |

Re: Volkswagen Concept A
Not a fan of the exterior, but the last interior picture looks nice.
