Volkswagen has released teaser images of a new small SUV Concept that will be shown at the upcoming Geneva Motor Show.

The concept appears to be quite close to production-ready. At this stage Volkswagen has not disclosed the name of the concept, yet, but rumours suggest that the concept will be called the "T-Cross".

Reports also indicate the concept is based on an adaptation of the MQB platform and Volkswagen intends to have a production model ready by 2018 that will slot under the Tiguan as a “trendy affordable SUV”.

Styling features

The images show sleek LED headlights complemented bysquare LED daytime running lights. The concept also features bright yellow paintwork with plastic cladding on the lower section of the bumper and wheel arches. Aluminium underbody protection adds a degree of ruggedness to the concept and the wheels are two-tone alloy examples.

Although Volkswagen has not released any images of the interior, the company says that it has much in common with the recently revealed BUDD-e Concept. That means that the interior layout will be rather simple with fewer buttons and dials, with most of the functions accessed via touchscreens.
