fundamental change's been done by VW Cross Coupe at Geneva Motor Show


Wolfsburg, - Cross Coupe provides 5 mode driving force consisting of the City (ECO mode with minimal fuel usage), Sport (for performance), Off-road (using a continuous all-wheel drive), E-mode (purely driven by the motor electricity) and the last charging (rechargeable batteries of the TDI engine).

It's not just the engine, VW is also little to distinguish this SUV look even limited cabin space. The interior is now using two colors (two-tone) so that raises a red and silver shades roomy cabin and sporty.

Volkswagen did not seem to lose the sense to keep presenting the concept, Cross Coupe, although previously been performed at the Tokyo Motor Show 2011. If in his first appearance in Japan use a gasoline engine, now replaced with a diesel that they are the same - each mated to a plug-in hybrid technology.

Four-cylinder inline engine with a 2.0-liter TDI that are behind the bonnet was equipped with a turbo and direct injection. The resulting maximum power 306 PS, 41 PS greater than gasoline engines. The battery uses lithium-ion 8 modules with a capacity of 9.8 kWh of energy.

The power can accelerate from 0-100 kph in 6.5 seconds and reaches a maximum speed of 220 dibejek kph. For fuel consumption based on the New European Driving Cycle test is claimed to achieve 55 kpl with CO2 emissions 46 g / km. So if the solar tank and the battery is fully charged can travel a distance of 1280 km. And for short-haul trips could use a pure electric motor with the distance of 45 km with a maximum speed of 120 kph.
