It’s being described as a high-tech four-door coupe concept based on the MQB platform with a sleek design. Dr Heinz-Jakob Neusser, Volkswagen Brand Board Member for Development, explained the new Coupe Concept GTE for the Volkswagen brand: “This concept car is a breathtakingly dynamic coupé, destined to set standards in this class. Thanks to the design in the style of an exclusive sports car combined with the added functionality of a large boot lid, we see an impressive alternative to the classic saloons of the B and C segments in this four-seater.”
More than ever before, the radiator grille, the headlights and VW badge merge to form a completely new interpretation of the front end in the new Sport Coupe Concept GTE. Thanks to a V6 TSI engine, the 375bhp GTE plug-in hybrid delivers the long-distance properties of a Grand Tourismo while enabling zero-emission driving – thanks to the deployment of two electric motors and an externally chargeable battery. The concept car, with a top speed of 250 kmph, has an average combined fuel consumption of just 2 litres/100km.
