1. New VW SUV will be around four meters long
2. Will sit on MQB A0 platform designed for emerging markets
3. Prototype likely to be revealed soon

Volkswagen A0 Compact SUV: what is it?

This new SUV will likely be called the “Volkswagen Yeh” upon debut; currently it is referred to as the Volkswagen A0 SUV internally. A prototype of this SUV will debut in Brazil in the coming days. 

This new SUV will be based on the MQB-A0 platform for emerging markets that underpins a slew of models globally including the current-gen Polo, the Nivus SUV and also the T-Cross sold in the South American market. 

This platform is similar to the MQB-A0-IN architecture that underpins the Volkswagen Taigun and Virtus and also the Skoda Kushaq and Slavia in India. The upcoming Skoda Kylaq SUV will also be underpinned by the MQB-A0-IN platform.

The Volkswagen A0 SUV will have a 2.5 meter long wheelbase and overall length will likely be around 4 meters. It will get design cues seen on newer Volkswagen models that feature a silmmer grille with a tall bumper along with connected tail lamp setup at the back. The SUV will have a coupe-like roofline, unlike the Taigun which has a more upright profile. 

Expect more details on powertrain, tech and features to surface once the prototype is revealed.
