CrossBlue SUV:
"Combining a TDI Clean Diesel engine with 2 electric motors to produce 305 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque, while still getting a remarkable 2.7 L/100 km in electric mode.
A huge interior and three rows of flexible seating means the CrossBlue can carry everything you need, wherever you need to go."
Cross Coupe SUV:
"A TDI Clean Diesel engine, two electric motors and five distinct driving modes, all for your enjoyment. The result? 516 lb-ft of torque, 0-60 in 6.5 seconds and fuel consumption levels of just 2.7 L/100 km."
So as you can see this is pretty much the same engine and vehicle. Power comes from a 2 Liter common rail diesel engine and two brushless electric motors. The result is 305 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque with a 0-60mph (98km/h) in 6.5 seconds and a fuel consumption level of 2.7 L/100 km in electric mode.
What VW has done is cater one towards family friendly and the other towards a sporty single person. Nice job VW you got pretty much everyone on the planet who likes the looks and can afford the cost of one (undisclosed, rumored around $32,000 US). Great concept you have done a great job.
