德国《汽车画报》近日报道,下一代大众甲壳虫将衍生出一个子系列,包括若干款复古风格车型。该杂志报道，大众将于2019年最终发布Bulli概念车的量产版车型，该车无论长度还是高度都超过甲壳虫，内部有足够的空间也可容纳五名乘客。另外还将有一款行驶高度更高的跨界车，该车是今年北美车展亮相的2014款甲壳虫沙丘概念车的后继车型。这款车将配备4Motion四驱系统并有一款混动版本，而标准版将搭载各类低油耗三缸和四缸汽油及柴油引擎。其实还不止这些，据报道，大众还计划推出一款更突出运动风格的甲壳虫轿跑车，功率达到224千瓦/300马力并提供全轮驱动。该车将采用独特引擎盖和窄车窗设计，更高的腰线，而它将搭载一台取自高尔夫GTD的2.0升四缸涡轮柴油引擎，最大功率135千瓦/181马力，扭矩379牛米。现在距离2019年还有很长一段时间，因此上述传言仍存在很大变数。

 

Next-gen Volkswagen Beetle to gain Bulli, coupe and crossover derivatives

German media is reporting the next generation Volkswagen Beetle will spawn a sub-lineup consisting of retro-styled models.

 

According to Auto Bild, 2019 will be the year when Volkswagen is going to finally introduce a production version of the Bulli concept which will be longer and taller than the Beetle, with enough room inside to carry up to five passengers.

 

There will also be a high-riding crossover as a spiritual successor of the 2014 Beetle Dune concept that was unveiled in January at NAIAS in Detroit. It will be available with the 4Motion system and could be offered in a hybrid variant, along with a variety of frugal three- and four-cylinder gasoline and diesel engines.

 

That's not all as Volkswagen is reportedly planning a sporty Beetle Coupe with 300 bhp (224 kW) and all-wheel drive. It will feature a unique hood and should come with narrow windows together with a high beltline, while under the hood it will also get the Golf GTD's 4-cylinder, 2.0-liter turbodiesel developing 181 hp (135 kW) and 280 lb-ft (379 Nm).

 

2019 is still a long way so for now we should take these rumors with a pinch of salt.
