最近有人绘制了大众Polo SUV合成图。这款迄今尚未命名的跨界车预计其造型风格将与途观非常接近。从图片看，该车与轿车版共享了更宽阔车身姿态和更紧凑侧面轮廓。而从前轮拱一直延伸至车尾的折线也取自途观。车头的蜂巢格栅，两侧时尚的大灯和陡直的后风挡使该车看起来更突出运动风格。这款车看起来很厚重——而非时尚——这样的造型将吸引那些城市消费者。该车底盘则是在大众集团MQB平台基础上的衍生版，而下一代Polo也将采用MQB平台。至于动力系统，该车将搭载小排量三缸和四缸汽油和柴油涡轮引擎，功率在67千瓦/90马力至93千瓦/125马力之间。另外，某些版本将提供4MOTION四驱系统作为选装件。下一代大众Polo预计将于明年亮相，而其跨界版将在随后几个月后发布。

 

Upcoming VW Polo SUV rendered

Development of the Volkswagen Polo-based SUV continues apace. Still images of prototypes have already been seen, but one has now been caught on film, testing on the road in Germany. The prototype is heavily camouflaged, but appears to wear a near-production specification body. You can see an artist’s impression of the car below.

 

The as-yet-unnamed crossover is predicted to have styling broadly similar to that of the bigger Tiguan. Here it shares the bigger car’s broad stance and tightly-surfaced flanks. The swage line that emanates from the trailing edge of the front fender and runs back to the rear light cluster is lifted directly from the Tiguan, as well.

 

Yet the hexagonal grille, flanked by fashionably high-set headlights, and the steeply raked rear window lend the car a sportier look than its upright sibling. It looks chunky - if not exactly funky - which should appeal to the urbanites who typically buy this sort of car.

 

That chassis is yet another variation of VW Group’s MQB platform, which will also be used by the next-generation Polo city car that sits alongside the crossover in the Volkswagen range. Small-capacity three- and four-cylinder petrol and diesel engines, all turbocharged, are expected to feature in power outputs ranging between about 90 and 125 horsepower (67 and 93 kilowatts).

 

There have been suggestions some models will be available with 4MOTION four-wheel-drive; if true, it will likely only be an option on the more powerful models.

 

The next-generation Volkswagen Polo is expected to debut next year, and the crossover is likely to follow a few months later.
