First model of 2013 SUV: Volkswagen Cross Coupe
The Cross Coupe previews a new design lineage that will be adopted by all of VW's upcoming SUV models, including the next Tiguan due out toward the end of 2014. The Cross Coupe uses front-end styling elements first seen on the Giugiaro-penned Tex and Go concepts wheeled out at the Geneva motor show earlier this year. The five-door Cross Coupe is considerably bolder than that of the existing Tiguan, whose design dates to 2005 and a former VW design team headed by Murat Gunak. Inside, VW gave the concept a classy Audi-esque cabin with a sweeping dashboard, a high-tech instrument display and grab handles incorporated into the center pod. The four heavily contoured seats are separated by a high-set center tunnel used to store the hybrid powertrain's battery. At 171.0 inches long, 73.5 inches wide and 60.0 inches tall, the Cross Coupe is 4.9 inches shorter, 2.3 inches wider and a significant 7.0 inches lower than today's Tiguan. It also rides on a wheelbase that is one inch longer -- at 103.5 inches.
Second model of 2013 SUV: Audi Q5 Hybrid
Audi has abandoned the old-style continuously variable transmission in favour of a regular automatic transmission — an eight-speed with two modes in the Q5’s case. The Q5 Hybrid features Audi’s 2.0-litre TFSI engine and an electric motor that sits where the torque converter once resided. The gas engine produces 211 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque at 1,500 rpm. The 1.3-kilowatt-hour lithium ion battery, which sits beneath the trunk floor, has enough juice to drive the Q5 for three kilometers at 60 km/h using the electric motor alone when fully charged. On the flip side, the Q5 Hybrid delivers an average consumption of just 6.9 litres per 100 kilometers. When the Q5 Hybrid hits Canadian roads in the second quarter of 2012, it will come fully loaded and be priced in the mid-$50,000 range.
