The car is expected to hit production 2016 and go on sale later that year or early in 2017. According to Reuters, the concept will be a five-seat variant of the seven-passenger SUV that VW plans to build at its assembly plant in Chattanooga, Tennessee.

The company has not yet confirmed any additional details on the crossover concept. The North American/Detroit International Auto Show takes place on January 12th 2015, so expect more details then.
