Volkswagen unveiled the Volkswagen T-Cross Breeze
concept at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show, a convertible SUV in the VW Polo class.
CARPLACE reader Kleber Pinho da Silva has created renderings with design cues
borrowed from the latest VW Tiguan to preview the concept’s production version.
The VW T-Cross Breeze concept will evolve into a
production model. At the moment the T-Cross Breeze is purely a
concept, but we can well imagine putting such a convertible on the market as a
production model. Since Dr Diess’ comment, there have been multiple reports
claiming a production model is planned.
The VW T-Cross Breeze concept measures 4,133 mm in
length, 1,798 mm in width and 1,563 mm in height, and has a wheelbase of 2,565
mm. It is powered by a 1.0-litre TSI turbocharged three-cylinder petrol engine
good for 110 PS and 175 Nm of torque. The production version will be underpinned by the same platform as the next-gen
VW Polo – MQB A0.
It will likely come with
engine displacements ranging from 1.0- to 1.6-litre, the same units which power
other MQB A0 platform models, including the fifth-gen Seat Ibiza. The new
sub-compact SUV will arrive after the next-gen VW Polo, possibly by the end of
2018.
