The Volkswagen Concept A, which was displayed at the 2006
Geneva Motor Show, was designed to provide a hint at the
styling of an all-new SUV which Volkswagen was developing.
The Concept A preceded the Tiguan
concept, which eventually became the production Tiguan
model.
Introduced as a four door coupe with off road capabilities,
the Concept A's production successor is aimed at the likes
of Toyota's RAV4 and the Honda CR-V.
Powered by the same 1.4 litre, 148 bhp, Twin Charger (one
turbocharger
and one supercharger)
engine found in the European Golf GT, coupled to a permanent
all-wheel drive transmission, the Concept A previews the
production model's posssible powertrain.
Like all concept cars, the Concept A will undergo changes
to make it more palletable to the masses, and VW accountants.
Although Volkswagen says the bold front styling and taught
lines will remain. However, the distinctive sloping roofline
will be swapped in favour of a more traditional design,
and the rear hinged back doors will be replaced with more
conventional units.
