Volkswagen ’s Passat-based four-door-coupe could make its world debut at the Detroit auto show in January, a new report by Germany’s AutomobilWoche suggests. Slated to cost around 30,000 euros, the high-end Volkswagen will steer clear of Audi ’s 44,000 euro A5.
Engine output is expected to start at 160 horsepower via a 1.8 liter TSI. A 2.0 liter turbo diesel will also be offered, with 140 horsepower and a slightly higher price tag. Lastly, a range-topping FSI V6 with 300 horsepower, all-wheel-drive and a dual-clutch transmission will come in at 40,000 euros.
Volkswagen will make many luxury and electronic features optional to keep the base price low. Special order features will include a glass roof, reverse camera, and proximity sensors for parking.
