VW has revealed a concept version of a new hybrid compact coupe model that is powered by an electric motor plus a 1.4-litre petrol engine.
The hybrid technology of the concept called New Compact Coupe or NCC is capable of a fuel consumption of 67.2mpg and emissions of just 98g/km. However VW’s NCC has not compromised on performance with the 0-62mph sprint in 8.6 seconds with a top speed of 141mph.
The 1.4-litre engine unit currently appears in several of the VW group’s cars, including the Golf and Scirocco, and produces 148bhp.
At just over 4.5m long, the NCC sits between the Golf and Passat in terms of size and borrows heavily from VW’s current design language. It uses the same chiselled side lines and features the familiar Volkswagen grille. 19-inch alloy wheels finish off the nice look.
