According to the latest reports, it appears that Volkswagen is currently working on a new compact crossover dubbed Rocktan which will be build with some help from Suzuki. Volkswagen bought few months ago a 19.9% stake in Suzuki and is planning to use the Japanese technology to take on the popular Nissan Qashqai.

It seems that the German car will be based on the Suzuki SX4 and the reason Volkswagen wants to build this car is that the Qashqai registered very good sales and can hardly keep up with the demand. Of course, Volkwagen already has the Cross Golf, Polo Cross, but these are just niche models with little success and the Rocktan would be a better choice. Regarding the engines, the new car will use the 1.4 TSI, 1.6 TDI and the more powerful 2.0 TDI engine which delivers 140 hp.
