Volkswagen brings in midsize coupe to Beijing

By: Motown India Bureau

Apr 18 2014

Volkswagen has got in a new midsize coupe concept car, a four-door coupé to be precise, to Beijing for its world premiere at Auto China 2014. The new midsize coupé is low in height (1,422 mm) and very wide (1,838 mm), it has a low visual centre of gravity, short overhangs, muscular shoulders and side sections, a dynamic roof line with markedly swept-back C-pillars, a short boot lid and long bonnet, according to a company statement.

The the concept car is just 4,597 mm long and thus shorter than a Passat and shorter even than the Jetta. However, as mentioned the concept car outdoes the other two in terms of its width – and it is thus midsized. So clearly this concept car exhibits proportions of an extremely sporty nature. The team led by Volkswagen head designer Klaus Bischoff integrated these sharp proportions in a body design that makes the new midsize coupé a powerful and avant-garde proponent of a new, compact saloon class. The concept has a 220 hp four-cylinder TSI engine, allowing it to sprint from 0 to 100 kmph in 6.5 seconds, with a top speed of 245kmph approx. The car sits on 20-inch wheels with 245/40 tyres.
