大众近日在纽约车展发布了AtlasCrossSport概念车，这款车身较短的双排座Atlas更注重时尚性而非实用性。这款车与不久前在谍照中曝光的福特Edge属于同级五座竞争车型。这款车比全尺寸Atlas短7.5英寸，长度为191英寸，但两款车的轴距相同，因此两款车只是第二排后的储物空间不同。与其他德系概念车一样，该车也采用插电混动系统，包括一台3.6升V6引擎，功率276马力，另有两台电机，其中前置电机功率54马力，扭矩162磅-英尺（约合220牛米），后置电机功率114马力，扭矩199磅-英尺（约合270牛米）。为电机提供电能的是18千瓦时锂电池。除了这款车，大众还计划推出一款轻混版本，功率310马力，该车除了配备更小的2.0千瓦时电池外，其他都与这款车一样。

 

Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport Concept Previews New Five-Seat SUV

Volkswagen has arrived in New York with a handful of concept cars aimed squarely at the truck-hungry U.S. market. Here, we have the Atlas Cross Sport concept--a shortened, two-row Atlas built with an eye for style more so than practicality.

 

If you spy a bit of Ford Edge in these lines, you're not alone. The shortened Atlas concept would fill a similar role in Volkswagen's lineup to that of Ford's premium five-seater.

 

Volkswagen's concept is 7.5 inches shorter than the full-sized Atlas on which it is based, making it just short of 191 inches long. It rides on the same wheelbase, so the size difference will only impact the space behind the second row.

 

Like most German concepts, the Atlas Cross Sport is nominally electrified. VW claims it's powered by a plug-in hybrid powertrain producing 355 horsepower. 276 of those ponies are contributed by a 3.6L V6; the remainder come courtesy of two electric motors. The front motor produces 54 horsepower and 162lb-ft of torque; the rear, 114 horsepower and 199-lb ft.

 

Juice comes from an 18-kWh battery lithium-ion battery. A "mild" hybrid alternative producing just 310 would also be in the cards. Aside from a smaller (2.0-kWh) battery, it would be essentially identical to the powerplant in the PHEV model.
