大众在日内瓦车展发布了T-Cross Breeze概念车。该车长度为4133毫米，不包括后视镜车身宽度为1798毫米，高度1563毫米，轴距2565毫米，内部可搭乘四名乘客，不过后排腿部空间非常有限。概念车造型风格类似最新一代途观，但进行了一些改款使之外观更出众。它的车头采用了更宽格栅，两侧是细窄前大灯，雾灯周围是一圈LED灯泡。车身侧面可见双特征线和19英寸合金轮圈。车尾是开口很宽的行李箱，储物容积达到300立升，两侧是LED尾灯组。概念车的车身采用夏日绿金属漆涂装和塑料深色轮拱，格栅和保险杠。该车采用黑色织物软顶。包括风挡框、侧踏板和车底护板等采用铝制表面材料的部分都采用喷砂处理。
车厢内没有采用常见的按键和旋钮，而是以一个触控显示屏替代，内装类似大众在今年一月消费电子展上发布的BUDD-e概念车。仪表群采用“Active Info Display”全液晶仪表盘，同时提供300瓦Beats Audio音响，中控台集成低音炮。该车动力系统为一台1.0升三缸涡轮增压引擎，功率81千瓦/110马力，扭矩175牛米，搭配七速DSG变速器和前轮驱动。虽然动力性算不上强劲，但驱动这辆1250公斤重概念车从静止加速至时速100公里，耗时10.3秒，最高时速188公里。车辆百公里油耗5升，每公里二氧化碳排放量115克。大众表示，该车油箱容积10.6加仑（约合40升），理论上续航里程达到800公里。
VW T-Cross Breeze concept previews small crossover cabrio
Volkswagen has taken the wraps off the T-Cross Breeze concept which signals the group’s upcoming Polo-sized crossover.
The concept’s styling follows the design language seen in the latest Tiguan, but with some changes to make it stand out. For example, it has a very wide front grille flanked by narrow headlights and comes with large LED rings around the fog lights. The side profile reveals a double character line and 19-inch alloy wheels featuring a spiral design.
Moving towards the rear, the wide trunk lid opens to provide a cargo capacity of almost 10.6 cubic feet (300 liters) and features sharp taillights that also employ LED technology. The body is painted in Summer Green Metallic contrasted by dark plastic on the wheel arches, radiator grille and the lower areas of the bumpers. It comes with a black fabric soft top and adopts a sandblasted finish for the visible aluminum surfaces like the windshield frame, side sills, and underbody protection.
The VW T-Cross Breeze concept has an overall length of 162.7 inches (4,133 mm) which makes it a little bit longer than the CrossPolo. The wheelbase spans 101 inches (2,565 mm) and enables a four-seater interior layout, although legroom in the back seems to be quite limited. Excluding the side mirrors, the open-top crossover’s width stands at 70.8 inches (1,798 mm) while height with the roof up is 61.5 inches (1,563 mm.)
The interior eschews conventional buttons and knobs in favor of touchscreen displays in the same vein as the BUDD-e concept shown at CES in January. The digital instrument cluster aka “Active Info Display” is customizable while on the entertainment front there’s a 300-watt Beats Audio sound system with a subwoofer integrated in the center console.
In terms of power, the T-Cross Breeze concept has a small turbocharged 1.0-liter three-cylinder unit with 110 horsepower (81 kilowatts) and 129 pound-feet (175 newton meters) of torque. Output is channeled to the front axle through a seven-speed dual-clutch DSG automatic transmission which enables the crossover to return 47 miles per gallon (5 liters / 100 km) and emit just 115 g/km. VW says the 10.6-gallon gasoline tank ensures a theoretical range of 497 miles (800 km).
Tipping the scales at 2,756 pounds (1,250 kilograms), the T-Cross Breeze will run the sprint to 62 miles (100 kilometers) per hour in 10.3 seconds before topping out at 117 mph (188 kph.)
