VW crossover concept to bow in Detroit, sources claim

December 8, 2014
Volkswagen is reportedly preparing to introduce a new crossover concept next month at the Detroit auto show.
The model is said to be a five-seat crossover based on the seven-seater that is due to arrive on the market in 2016, unnamed sources told Reuters. It is expected to follow on the heels of the larger build, likely arriving in 2016 or 2017.

The German automaker earlier today announced year-to-date sales, showing an overall increase of two percent globally but a steep slide of nearly 11 percent in the US market.

Many automakers are scrambling to release new SUVs and crossovers to accommodate strong demand in the segment. Some analysts point to low gasoline prices as a contributing factor. VW, however, maintains just two options for crossover and SUV customers: the Touareg and the Tiguan.

The company has not yet confirmed any additional details surrounding the new models that will arrive within two years.
