2018 VW Atlas Tanoak Concept




This tree species is native to the Pacific coast and can be up to 45 m high. Although it ranks among the beech trees, behind the 'Tan' is the 'oak', which suggests an oak species.


This time we start with the substructure of this concept. Because there are quite surprises in it. Should VW be the first of a long line of four-wheel-drive manufachurers, which only offers a front wheel drive (with transversal engine) derived four-wheel drive even for very large vehicles, too?


This concept car is really big, although in the US it is classified among the midsize pickups. Therefore, it is amazing that it is based on the Modular Quer (transverse) Baukasten (matrix platform). Now the V-Inline-Sixcylinder becomes very important, because the V-6 seems probably unsuitable for such a design. Of course that also means a limitation, especially in the Diesel sector. After all, these engines also deliver quite remarkable performances.

Because it can be assumed that a blueprint for the next, much smaller Amarok is shown here. On the whole, it is a courageous, but absolutely correct decision, because meanwhile even in the Jeep branch one does not know so well even with Jeep, whether for example. a certain Cherokee has a longitudinal or transverse engine. At any rate, one does not seem to notice it while driving.


However, the Americans have to wait for this quite well in their feeling fitting vehicle until at least 2020. It would be lighter in weight than any direct competition because of the MQB-base. Take a look at the pictures and especially the sliding cargo strap in the video below. 04/18
