Volkswagen has officially teased its upcoming compact SUV. It will be based on the MQB A0-IN platform and will be revealed on February 3 ahead of the Auto Expo. It is one of four SUVs that Volkswagen will launch in India by 2021.
As per the teaser, the SUV is likely to get twin-pod LED headlamps with LED DRLs, a split chrome grille and roof rails. Internationally, the German carmaker already offers a compact SUV in the form of the T-Cross. We believe that the India-spec compact SUV will be inspired by the T-Cross.
Under the bonnet, the compact SUV will be powered by a BS6-compliant 1.0-litre turbo petrol engine that will be paired to a 6-speed manual or a 7-speed DCT gearbox. There won’t be any diesel version on offer as Skoda-Volkswagen has decided to do away with the diesel engines in the BS6 era.
