据外媒报道，目前大众正在开发2019款T-Cross，该车将采用MQB A0平台。该车的车身尺寸将与Polo类似。据英国媒体报道，这款微型SUV外观非常突出运动风格，你甚至怀疑这是不是一辆大众车型。虽然它的格栅一眼就可以辨认出来，但车身其他部分则采用全新设计。预计最终量产版将采用4Motion全驱系统。该车轴距2560毫米，超过PoloMk6的2548毫米，但低于T-Roc的2604毫米和高尔夫的2620毫米。而该车动力系统和变速器则来自大众家族的第六代Polo和西亚特Arona，包括1.0升TSI、1.5升TSI Evo和1.6升TDI引擎。如果未来增加T-Cross GTI，预计将搭载2.0升TSI引擎，功率200马力。
Volkswagen Working on 2019 T-Cross Subcompact Crossover
VW T-Cross is believed to be its name, and reportedly, it’ll use the MQB A0 vehicle platform. The all-new Polo rides on the MQB A0, and so does the 2017 SEAT Arona. In all likelihood, Volkswagen plans to do an Arona of its own, a crossover that would complement the subcompact-sized Polo.
According to the British publication’s source, “the baby SUV looks very sporty. You will wonder whether it’s a VW at all; you may recognize the grille, but it’s a very exciting design elsewhere.”What can we expect from the production model is the implementation of the 4Motion all-wheel-drive with the MQB A0 architecture.
Auto Express says the wheelbase could measure 2,560 millimeters, which is minutely more than the Polo Mk6 (2,548 millimeters), but less than the T-Roc (2,604 millimeters) and Golf 7.5 (2,620 millimeters). As for the oiliest of bits and bobs, engine and transmission options will likely mirror those offered by Volkswagen and SEAT in the sixth-generation Polo and the Arona.
The range, therefore, is certain to kick off with the 1.0-liter TSI, continue with the 1.5 TSI Evo, and peak with the 1.6 TDI. If Volkswagen can make a point for the T-Cross GTI, there’s no mistaking the 2.0 TSI with 200 metric horsepower is the engine of choice for the go-faster crossover.
