大众目前正在测试基于Polo的跨界车以便能在这个快速增长的市场获得足够竞争力。虽然谍照记者的照片未能让我们看清新车模样，好在这款车的合成图近日曝光。这款B级SUV很多设计元素取自年初发布的T-Cross Breeze概念车。该车将为大众带来新的设计方向，它的车头采用水平格栅，而垂直设置行驶灯造型更顺滑。方形的LED日间行驶灯与前大灯完全分开，而且离得很远，进一步突出了方正的车身造型。车身侧面轮廓也很抢眼，车身下部采用了黑色对比色防擦条，后部是第三车窗，这将为车厢内乘客提供更宽敞的空间感。该车采用MQB平台，车长在4.2至4.3米，内部结构与新款高尔夫，奥迪A3，西亚特Leon和其他车型共享。该车动力系统包括1.0升三缸和1.5升三缸引擎，功率在67千瓦/90到93千瓦/125马力之间。该车还将提供全轮驱动，但很可能是选装件。Polo SUV将作为2018款车型于明年上市。早先有传言称该车售价2.1万美元（约合人民币14.3万元），未来还有可能提供R高性能版本。

 

This is what VW's new Polo-based crossover could look like

Volkswagen has been testing a Polo-based crossover to compete in one of the fastest-growing segments around. Unfortunately, spy shots aren’t enough to satisfy our appetite for the tiny SUV – thankfully, this rendering should do the trick.

 

The visual mockup seen here gives us our best look yet at the proposed B-SUV from the German manufacturer. Sharing a number of cues with the T-Cross Breeze concept we saw make its debut earlier in the year, the unnamed SUV would introduce a new design direction for the brand, forgoing the typical horizontal grille and vertical running lights in place of something much sleeker.

 

Squared daytime LED running lights separate from the headlights and grille to accent the boxy body. The side profile will also get a noticeably new look thanks to the introduction of contrast moldings and a rear-third window, which will undoubtedly provide a more open-air feeling in the cabin.

 

Using the MQB platform as its base, the SUV would measure in at 4.2 to 4.3 meters (165 to 169 inches) long, and share its bones with the new Golf, Audi A3, Seat Leon, and others. Under the hood will be a range of powertrain options, including a three-cylinder 1.0-liter engine and a three-cylinder 1.5-liter engine producing anywhere between 90 and 125 horsepower (67 and 93 kilowatts). All-wheel drive will be available, but likely an option for the higher-trim model.

 

Expect to see VW’s new B-SUV hit the market late in 2017 for the 2018 model year. Early rumors suggest it could be priced close to $21,000 (19,345), with the possibility of an even hotter R version coming down the line.
