2013 start of the new VW Touran - the first time with two wheelbases. On a technical basis is the same 2014 super cool New Microbus. AUTO BILD shows what plan the Wolfsburg.
By Georg Kacher has the retro-wave petered out? Pampers bombers are not sexy? Vans in the crossover age-Sales? No way! Of all things VW, although successful in family cars, but not exactly famous for charged emotions will, take the evidence to the contrary. The Touran in Wolfsburg bring its next generation (2013) not only with two different length wheelbases. They make the class leader and the Romantics: a retro-style version of the classic VW Bus T2. Forward to the past, the motto only stylistically. Otherwise, the Lower the future have in view.
As of 2013 broadened the leader his offer to eight wide-body models: • VW Space up! (2013) • VW Touran II (2013) • VW Touran Family II (2013) • Volkswagen New Microbus (2014) • VW Golf III (2016) • VW Sharan Family (2016) • VW T6 short (2015) • VW long-T6 (2015) In this list are not included: the up-high Golf Plus, the (sanctioned by the Board still does not) Polo-van and a minivan version of the city flea, especially in the compact class, the business is booming, with clever concepts of space. Sporty design and dynamic technique to help the image change from diapers to transport recreational vehicle. Even premium brands such as BMW (1 Series and 3 Series GT), Audi (Q3) and Mercedes (B-Class Shooting Brake) jumping on this train. VW plans in the Golf class three different space vehicles. First, the Touran's successor, the previous dimensions remains largely true. Second, the long version, which has 2.68 meters by 18 centimeters a longer wheelbase than the Golf VII. The longer rear overhang of the Family version makes room for a third row of seats.
