Volkswagen Robust

**VW VR6** · 19-11-2008, 01:13 AM

The pickup Volkswagen know that by the time under the name "Robust" was caught again, but this time in the United States.

The photos do not differ much from those we have seen before, proving that VW will not go very far in the design of the model. According to the website Wheels 24, despite reports that indicate its cancellation in the U.S. and Europe because the price of oil, it appears that some of the 90,000 units that will be produced annually in Argentina could be sent outside Latin America, is expected to markets This.

Without noise or communiqués, almost through the back door, comes the news that Volkswagen has cancelled its plans to launch a midsize pickup in Europe and the United States. The Volkswagen Robust, is known as the model, would be a vehicle overall, hard, relatively inexpensive and available in configurations of single and double cabin.

Thus, the Volkswagen Robust will become a model unique in Latin America, which are assembled en la ciudad argentina de Pacheco. The news of the cancellation could mean bad news for 700 workers at the plant that VW has in Hanover, where iban variants to be manufactured in Europe.

It makes things a couple of months was only a rumor, but since then the spy photos have not ceased to rain, and the very Volkswagen confirmed several weeks ago the launch of a pickup affordable. At the moment we know very little about their technical characteristics, but we certainly will be manufactured in Argentina and Germany.

The Volkswagen Robust will have a double cabin configuration, but will offer multiple models to suit the needs of consumers. Later we will observe a SUV version a little more tidy than the rest, halfway between the Tiguan and the Touareg. If you want to see the full picture click on the cut on the right.

Despite what may appear in the photos of CBT, the pickup captured by the lenses of Mr Lehmann is not a Toyota Hilux highlighted by Volkswagen, but a test mule completely disguised to mislead. The Volkswagen model that tries to hide, called Volkswagen Robust, will be a mid-size pickup truck and reasonable price for sale will be headed to markets in Europe, americas America, and Africa. The available engines ranging from economic common rail diesel to a more powerful V6 petrol, and provide traction with both front and all four wheels.

We already know that VW is developing a pickup in Argentina; have seen the spy photos as well as a sketch supposedly anticipates the final form of the model. With all of this information, kids Pickuptruck.com commissioned conducting a drawing of this model that we know at this time under the name of Volkswagen Robust, and should go on sale in 2010.

According to Pickuptruck.com, in addition to the Pacheco plant in Argentina, Volkswagen will use its plant in Hanover, Germany, to join the European version. The Volkswagen Robust will be available in single and double cabin with diesel engines and V6, as well as traction in two and four wheels.

The Volkswagen Robust is a model that has attracted enough attraction in recent months, and that is the idea of a Volkswagen pickup for the entire world was not something that we could expect. Unfortunately it seems that the price of oil has thrown the land by the German manufacturer plans to launch in Europe and the United States (until there was talk of a version of sport), thus leaving its marketing almost exclusively for americas America and South Africa. Despite this, the Volkswagen Robust emerges as an important model for the accounts of Volkswagen, and the assemblies have not been hoped.

Louzada has sent a retouching truly achieved imagining lines Tiguan under their camouflage. The result is simple but balanced, with features clean and with a point that the vehicle closer to a purely commercial one cutting recreation. The pickup reflected in the image would be double-cab version, although there will also be a variant with only two doors.

So far everything that we had seen the pickup Volkswagen mules were testing with the bodywork of a Toyota Hilux, but today we have the first photos of the vehicle with its final design. Camouflaged to rabadilla, but something is something.

As you have several days ago, Volkswagen will offer versions of two four gates of Volkswagen Robust, as well as diesel and gasoline with mechanical traction front and 4x4. The pickup will be manufactured in Argentina for Latin America (predictably its strongest market), and from the city of Hanover will units for Europe. Although at first it was a commercial vehicle affordable for later is expected to Volkswagen Robust guidance of recreational, sports and something more luxurious. Nothing more to say, you leave with the gallery.
