Volkswagen CrossBlue Coupe concept

Several new pictures of the Volkswagen CrossBlue Coupe concept have surfaced online, following a leak earlier today.

The CrossBlue Coupe is a five-door crossover that has a sporty front fascia with a slender grille and LED headlights. Moving further back we can see a ventilated hood, plastic body cladding and matte aluminum trim. Last but not least, the model is equipped with a tailgate-mounted spoiler and a dual exhaust system that is integrated into the rear bumper.

The cabin echoes the original CrossBlue concept and adopts a restrained design with flat and angular surfaces. Notable highlights include leather seats, metallic trim and gloss black accents. There's also a digital instrument cluster, an infotainment system and a rear seat entertainment system.

Power will reportedly be provided by a turbocharged V6 engine which is backed up by two electric motors. This setup could enable the crossover to have a combined maximum output of 415 bhp (309 kW). This should allow the model to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 5.9 seconds, average 3L/100 km (78.4 mpg US / 94.1 mpg UK) and travel up to 20.5 miles (33 km) on electricity alone.

With some luck, we'll see its sibling soon, Audi Q6.

Since when have coupes become 4 door SUVs :/

Tell me your definition of a coupe and how it differs from a two-door sedan and I'll tell you where you are wrong.

It's a common misconception to call two-door vehicles coupes just judging by the number of doors. It's not the decisive factor. In fact, there's nothing mentioned about the number of doors or the height of the clearance in the definition of a coupe.

Yeah I know there is a technical difference between a two door sedan and a coupe (capacity, b-pillar presence, etc.) I am also one one of those who for simplicity sake combines the coupes and two-door sedans into the same category even though they are technically different. To me the "Coupe" in this model's name is just a label for marketing purposes.

It looks good, but why make it a hybrid? Why not push towards the EREV (Extended Range Electric Vehicle) route? Yes, it does cost more than a hybrid, but frankly, if anyone's willing to pay the extra for a hybrid, I reckon they can stretch towards an EREV. The fuel savings would be a lot bigger, so it'd probably be better in the long-term.

Maybe because hybrids have a vastly larger audience. Electric vehicles still need a ton of work. Give them another 5 years.

Agreed, this is not a coupe (roof bars on a coupe?)

And I'm not really a fan of how this looks. It looks a bit like they designed it for the sake of designing it. Like the "W"s on the rear lights look stupid, as do the bonnet vents.

The interior also looks a bit too clinical to me.

also reminds me a bit of the new range rover or landrover which ever it is, always get them two mixed up.

Yes, look at it from the side, there's definitely some resemblance there to Range Rover's Evoque as far as body styling goes. However, this is a much larger car.

    • Why you need to take back control of your synced passwords and how to go about doing that

      By Nick H. · Posted

      I think I understood the article fine. Online password managers open users up to more possibilities of getting hacked, and due to KeePass being offline and local it reduces the idea of getting hacked. If someone chooses to put their database online they're kinda missing the point. With regards to the idea of the on-prem idea, I would have two issues. I'm not sure about the first issue, but I wouldn't be surprised about them offering a cloud storage for the passwords that most wouldn't bother to switch off, regardless of if they went for on-prem or not. The second issue is that the on-prem solution for Bitwarden costs money, whereas KeePass is free and open-source (as far as I am aware). The article points out how to sync the database between devices, and I recognise that deficiency in security. But it isn't a necessity. So both services can offer a same idea, but one is free and the other isn't...choices, choices.... But to each their own.

    • The Light of Life? We actually do glow till our Death, study finds

      By +Good Bot, Bad Bot · Posted

      I am not surprised because life is the product of a lot of biochemical and physical processes that releases various energies as a by-product. The only thing new here is the detection of these photon emissions. The researches noted this "glow" is not a metaphysical one. They don't even immediately end when one is dead. Things like fires, light bulbs, and on a bigger scale stars release a lot more "light" and they are hardly alive.

      Did you not understand the concern of the article and/or what on-prem means?
