It’s a CC Thing: Volkswagen's New Cross Coupe Concept Live from the Tokyo Show Floors


For a very long time, we only had rugged 4x4s, but then SUVs made their appearance in the market followed shortly after by crossovers and before we knew it, all hell broke loose and each carmaker invented its own acronym to describe a specific niche in any given segment.

New Volkswagen Cross Coupe SUV Concept Bows at 2011 Tokyo Motor Show

The concept is the first VW model based on the company’s new ‘modular transverse matrix’ or MQB platform architecture to be shown to the public. The MQB chassis will be used in a number of VW Group models ranging from the next Golf to the Audi TT's successor.
