VW rear-engined minicar and Tiguan to star at Frankfurt

At next month’s Frankfurt Motor Show Volkswagen will be presenting more than fifty different models, eight of which will be making their world debuts. The newcomers on VW’s stands will be the new Tiguan SUV, six new economical BlueMotion models and a rear-engined minicar concept.

CEO Martin Winterkorn has previously stated that VW would produce a new model positioned below the Fox hatchback and that it would have space for “four people and their luggage.” If given the green light, expect the car to cost around €5,000 in Europe and even less in developing markets.

With the debut of six additional BlueMotion models at the Frankfurt Show, VW’s tally of the super-efficient models will now be up to nine cars. Unfortunately, there was no mention if VW’s hybrid system it co-developed with Porsche will be making a showing.

Where the Touareg - specially in its original form but still - is an elegant vehicle this Tiguan (WTF si a Tiguan anyway?) looks like it was designed in Korea. North Korea.
