VW CrossBlue Coupe Concept: Is This The New MQB Crossover?

Looking a bit like a hybrid between the Range Rover Evoque and a Subaru Outback, the VW CrossBlue Coupe Concept is the smaller companion to the larger CrossBlue that debuted at Detroit. The Coupe has a twin-turbo V6 and a plug-in hybrid system making 409 horsepower, but don’t expect that to make it into production. Hopefully the CrossBlue’s diesel engine does carry over to the production version, which is rumored to be the next Tiguan.

    Looks nice, let's hope they don't make it super boring.

      It's another CUV. How can it be anything but boring......

    That's the widest center console I've ever seen. That moves the driver's right leg another three inches to the left, and for those of us who wear size 13 EE cowboy boots, that's a problem. Also, what is that box on the floor in the rear? It doesn't leave any foot room for a middle passenger - not that anyone would want to sit there, if given the option.

      Although I can't agree on it being the biggest center console I've ever seen, I agree, styling something in such a way that it's a hindrance to the person that bought the vehicle doesn't seem responsible, if the vehicle had a purpose other then transportation and/or needed the space for mechanical reasons, yes I could understand, but it's FWD and a plan boring passenger vehicle. Same goes for the second row middle, what's the point in that? Theres no driveshaft, thus it seems rather pointless.

  • 3-On-The-Tree Same as the Land Cruiser, emissions. I have a 1985 FJ60 Land Cruiser and it’s a beast off-roading.
