大众正在开发一款定位在途观之下，基于下一代Polo的SUV。最近谍照记者拍到了这款车，从照片看，该车的尺寸更大，使其更好的确立了入门级跨界车地位。这辆原型车的车身进行了重度伪装，掩盖了其量产版车身，最初给人的感觉是这是一辆迷你途观。这款车采用的是更灵活的MQB平台，将搭载一系列三缸和四缸涡轮增压引擎。目前还不清楚该车是否会提供全轮驱动选装件，还是仅提供前轮驱动。有英国媒体此前报道称，大众有意为其提供4MOTION全驱系统，但这一说法还未获得官方证实。大众将于明年发布新一代Polo，随后将推出其跨界车版本。大众正准备推出一系列跨界车和SUV，除了这款基于Polo车型外，还有七座版Teramont和途观长轴距版。除此之外，大众还将发布T-Roc概念车的量产版车型，该车定位在Polo SUV和途观之间。

 

VW Polo-based SUV spotted with production body

VW is now planning a sub-Tiguan model based on the next-generation Polo which we caught on camera just yesterday in GTI trim. Spy images of the supermini are showing the B-segment model will grow in size, thus making it a good foundation for an entry-level crossover.

 

Here we have a prototype clad in camouflage to hide what appears to be a production body, and our initial impression is that it will look like a mini Tiguan.

 

Wolfsburg’s smallest crossover will ride on the flexible MQB platform and will use an assortment of three- and four-cylinder engines, all of which are going to be turbocharged. It will be interesting to see whether VW is going to sell the Polo-based SUV with an optional all-wheel-drive layout, or it will stick with a FWD-only setup. Reports coming from U.K. are indicating the German automaker has plans to sell the high-riding model with the grippy 4MOTION setup, but it’s better to wait for an official confirmation.

 

The all-new Polo is set to arrive sometime next year and it will likely be followed a few months later by its crossover counterpart. VAG is preparing a lot of crossovers and SUVs at the moment, as aside from the Polo-based model, it’s also putting the finishing touches on the seven-seat Teramont and the Tiguan LWB which will also be able to carry up to seven. On top of that, VW has already promised to introduce a production version of the T-Roc concept which will likely slot between the Polo-based SUV and the Tiguan.
